First update of 2022. A day later than planned as I usually mark January 2nd as my new year, but with COVID things got away from me. Especially as I have spent my time since this past Friday feeling like a bag of shit.

Is it COVID? I don't know - apparently I'm not eligible for testing according to the government website. And finding rapid test kits in this province is next to impossible. Ugh.

In other news though, I finally felt up to tackling the disaster that has been building around my computer desk for months. Oh, I sat on the floor on a pillow while clearing away the accumulated garbage from my desk area. After I removed the annoying L extension that has only ever really been used as a place to lay stuff down to forget about, that is. I knew that it was largely responsible for the mess that had gotten pushed under the desk and chair as it was a pain in the ass to clean around. It was the first thing I did in getting the mess under some sort of control. There is still stuff to be done but now I can actually sit at my desk in my amazing desk chair, and do stuff.

I still haven't gotten a replacement screen for my laptop, but that's actually not a bad thing. I've got a decent gaming monitor hooked up, and as I find my Chromebook ideal for taking with me for writing purposes, I can still use my laptop for gaming. It IS a gaming laptop anyway, so there.

I managed to find things I'd thought were irretrievably lost once I started sifting through the layer of trash on my floor. I didn't find the crazy glue I'd been hoping to find, but such is life sometime. I already know that if I don't feel up to the trek to Shoppers tomorrow that my daughter will go up for me - I need it to fix my dental plate after somehow managing to crack off the front two teeth on the plate. I've looked in all the places I was sure I'd had a tube of it stowed, but there was no luck. At least with wearing a mask when I leave the house nobody will see that I'm not wearing them, but I won't always be so lucky as to wear a mask. Such is life.

I found necklaces and rings I'd known were buried under the disaster, but thought they'd be destroyed by now. One had a layer of rust in places, but the rest were good to go. I suppose tomorrow while I'm doing more updates for my computer I'll do a good coat of clear nail polish on most of the cheap jewelry so I can wear it when I go back to work. If I've got COVID who knows when that will be -_-

Oh well, time for me to crawl into bed for what remains of the night. Perhaps I'll have my Star Wars game update while I'm sleeping - I know it's got at least three content updates to do, and it can take hours upon hours to do. I'll just turn off my monitor and let the updater work in the backgroudn for now.

So, I didn't get everything out of the basement common area by the end of October. I got a LOT of it out, but there still remains some items that desperately need to go. I just haven't had the spoons to do it yet. Such is life when your health, mental and physical, decide to have other ideas. Obviously, I'm still working away at it all, and making progress too! A week ago, during my last two days off from work, I finally put together the free shelving thingy I got from Temu and started putting things on it. Talk about a huge difference from having things all over the counter! Organization of my kettle, various water bottles and travel mugs, spices, cereal, and other things have been accomplished and I have actual working space on the counter now. Given the space and time (and another shelving thingy at some point) I'll hopefully be able to turn the top of my mini-fridge into a coffee station and get rid of the two milk-crates I'm currently using to hold canned goods...

So, I've been verbally given a three month eviction notice due to my landlord wanting to renovate the apartment I've been living in for almost 12 years. And he's made it clear that he will not entertain the idea of me coming back once the renovations are done. Yes, the place needs some work - I've been here for 12 years so wear and tear are only natural. Of course, the day he needed into the apartment was a day where the place was a state. I'd just worked my last day of a string of five days in a row and housework needed to be done. Five days worth of dishes in the sink, garbage that was in the process of being collected to put out on garbage day, and laundry that was in the process of being washed, dried, folded, and put away. Plus stuff on the floor because I'd been going through my collection of doom bags and boxes so I could get rid of more things I don't need or have room for. It clearly wasn't putting the best look out there for my landlord to see,...

Ex got his ass fired on Valentine's Day...what a loser

-
The ex no longer has a job - he was termed on Valentine's Day. I can only wonder exactly what goes through a person's head to continue to do the same stupid thing repeatedly. Clearly he's not all that bright if it means that he has yet to learn a lesson out of all of this. But I also think he tends to think he'll always get bailed out whenever he screws up like he apparently always does. When he told me that he always loses his jobs the same way, I thought maybe he felt guilty about it all and wanted to make a change. Obviously not. Whenever I eat in the food court at the mall I work in I keep expecting his mother to approach me to ask what happened. Or to give me shit for not making her son a priority. Frankly, I'd love her to try giving me shit because I'd tell her - mother to mother - that she raised a selfish idiot who refuses to learn from his mistakes or is just too stupid to figure out that how he chooses to go on is no way to live. What is he goi...
