- We had to kango hammer the old ones to get them off the wall, and the walls were in a bad state, which made it much more difficult.
- My legs, feet, back and hands hurt, My hands are literally red and hurt a lot.

I'm never doing wall tiles again.

We only even changed them because our mother was being fussy about ones she got last year. She shouldn't have gotten those ones.

Sounds like my parents wanting to fix the floor in the bathroom and everything breaking in the process

Ah yeah, the effect of changing something that works, then nothing does anymore.

+ Got a lot more sleep today and woke up really late. Definitely needed after all that work all weekend.
- My hands are irritated and full of little cuts, including the top of my right index finger.
- I also feel stiff in my back and legs.

+ This whole week of work plus Saturday and then two more days and 5 days of freedom!
+ Finally done with the Christmas fic for bestie
++++++ I can finally come back to the FMA fic

+ watching Stranger Things
+ got some cool gifts

- Christmas is over now

Christmas doesn't end until after January 6th.

Indeed, now where are those turtledoves?

There you go :3

Welp, we found the turtledoves. Now what?

+ Got a cookbook for Christmas, and im trying one of the recipe's out today!
+ Been trying out a lot of recipe's in general as of late, made cinnamon rolls, gingerbread muffins, and some chocolate cookies!
- Been feeling like shit for the past week, mostly throughout the 21-23'rd, but still feel a bit sick atm.

– it begins

+++ Internet is back at my house!

So to celebrate I drew a Pokémon because... Wynaut? Next step : redo my Twitch decoration. I'm planning on doing it live on monday.

- Been feeling unwell the past few days, much worse today for some reason.
+ Getting a new keyboard (most likely tomorrow), since my current one intermittently has switches not work.
+ Also getting some PS1 memory cards so I can replay some of the older games again, including old Crash games.

- Recovery after the operation is very slow. Being at home unable to do anything is quite frustrating.
+ The only positive thing is that I have a lot of free time to watch TV series and play games at my leisure.
- I received a call from my boss this afternoon.
+ His call has meant some very good things for my job.
+/- The future is exciting, but doubts are inevitable.

+ Thinking of getting a Retroid Pocket 5

+/- very slow day at work
- 5:00 pm and people just have to give back the board games they borrowed from library (on the record, we have to count every single piece to see if everything is back in the box, so if you have an rpg with 500+ elements, you gotta count everything, I hate it)
+ getting back home after work feels like a blessing each time
- has to work 9 hours on Wednesday, help me

+ Got my keyboard.
- Some LEDs have broken colours (RGB). This annoyed me at first, but since the keys work, I will just live with it. That's what a keyboard is for anyway.
+ Seems I have over 90wpm when I was randomly testing with this keyboard even though it's different from what I'm used to.

Regarding the latter point, I didn't realise I got that fast. Obviously there are faster people out there who probably make less errors too, such as Fifo most likely.

Still, when I first joined RPC, I was typing with 2-3 fingers and taking forever to write anything. I have no idea how I even got as many messages as I did on Record Day in 2018.

Congrats Steo, that’s a nice speed!

+ Reading Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, liking it so far, the extra background info for the characters is nice
+ enjoying Rayman in the PS
+ Cleaned up my wardrobe

- still haven't been as active as I wanted to, I always say I do then I immediately dip, too much going on

Thanks! I recently got another keyboard that was a trade in, which I of course cleaned thourougly. Unfortunately some of the RGB LEDs are broken. Green is broken on 3 buttons, and blue on 6. It's not the end of the world given the price I got it for, plus I don't look at the keys while typing. I can just use working colours on them if needed (all the reds work).

It has those omni switches with adjustable actuation points, so I will accept it given those are working fine. I can fix the LEDs in the future if needed.

- I thought the weird sinus issues had subsided, but my left nostril and that part of my jaw are really sore today.

- I sprained my knee yesterday, at the end of the very first day of my week-long skiing trip. I went to see the doctor this morning and it looks like I won't be able to get back on the slopes this week. For now I can barely bend my leg anyway. Now I'm sitting in my room, watching the beautiful weather outside (yesterday was nice but a bit cloudy) knowing that I won't enjoying any of it.

I don't know for sure just yet, but I'll probably be cutting my trip short...

Aww, that really sucks, man. I hope you have a quick recovery, sprains like that are just awful.

- I'm still sick, and running on little sleep due to coughing through out the night so I kept waking up to that. Plus the weekend wasn't long enough. Not that I could sleep that much better then between the sickness or my cat waking me up for treats.
