11:24pm: As in aiming at stuff, I had two chances to get my George and Lorraine Miis to get married in Tomodachi Life and I messed up both of them! You have to play a mini-game to get the proposal to and wedding to actually happen, which is like a shooting game with hearts and since I'm not very co-ordinated I can't get past the last level of it. I wonder how many times I'm going to have to try it!
In other news, I had to buy a power adaptor for the Switch since it didn't actually come with one (one of my work colleagues thinks that means its stolen property, which I sure hope isn't the case because yikes...), it sure charges quickly which is great!

What's not so great is I think I'm still getting bitten by cockroaches because I'm still itchy! D: I'm thinking I'll take my anti-histamine in the morning rather than at night. The cream does work pretty well, but I can only use it twice a day, so when it wears off it sucks.

I was going to say something else, but I've forgotten what now - oh wait, on Wednesday I have the day off work because I have to be available to let the washing machine repairman in at my parents house. Problem is, I'm not sure I want to stay over there all by myself tomorrow night, it gets chilly there and all my stuff is here at my place. Thing is, the repair guy could show up at any time between 7:30 and 12pm (isn't that always the way, grumble, grumble) which means if I don't stay over there I'll have to get up pretty early in the morning.

Anyway, I better wrap it up here, I have to get to bed and I still need to put on the cream.

Ta-ta!

11:43pm: Well, at least Tomodachi Life is worth the money! It's easy to spend simply ages crafting stuff and doing fun things will your Miis. Which reminds me, I need to see about moving my screenshots over to this laptop so I can share them with you all!

However, it's coming up on midnight so I better make this quick.

I had to help set up the field for archery this morning and it went mostly well...the person I was supposed to set up with wasn't able to come so I set up with the Archery Club President, who seems to feel I was a bit slow at times - which I was :OP - but it was all properly done in the end.

On the downside, after some adjustments to my bow last week so I the top limb wasn't as tight (and I was unable to pull it out), my settings have changed again and it took a while to figure it out, which meant my score at 40 metres were pretty terrible! Not to mention that in the end I had to get help getting the limb out anyway! Which is weird because I was able to remove it last week...I can only assume that something weird happened when I misfired an arrow. Or at least I hope so...

Also, two of my arrows have lost their points so now I need to look into getting more of them. It's a bit weird that two of them fell out on the same day though!

Now tomorrow there's a tournament and a barbeque, although I'm not sure how the weather is going to be - the forecast doesn't look so good. Hopefully I'll be able to go though, I'd hate to miss out on archery and sausages! :OP

On that note I shall be off! The Meme will have to wait once again!

10:34pm: About the bug bites, which remain itchy - although not constantly - and quite a few of them are looking worse for wear - they don't seem to be growing in size or anything, but still it seems very unusual, I've never had bites itch for this long...

So I looked up available appointments for my doctor and to my surprise he actually has an open appointment tomorrow - the only problem is...it's at 3:30pm and I'm pretty sure he always runs late. Also I don't actually know when I've got desk shifts tomorrow - although I'm pretty sure I do have some. So the question is, should I book the appointment now or wait until I get into work tomorrow?

Although writing all this has made me think I should totally make the appointment and if necessary swap shifts with someone. The only reason I'm hesitating is because I'm supposed to get a blood test for my iron levels, which i haven't done yet because he said to get it done at the end of the month. Having said that, I guess if you've gotta see a doc, you gotta see a doc.

And I guess I do need to because I haven't started this entry with the exciting news - my second hand Switch Lite arrived today! Somewhat annoyingly it arrived at 8:55am this morning when I was already at work - I did actually toy with the idea of popping home (I drove into work) at lunch to get it, but I decided it was better I didn't. But I definitely jumped on it when I got home! The good news is, it switches on, all the buttons and joysticks work, the bad news was the battery was almost dead, but it's charging slowly now. I have to wonder how long the battery will last though, I didn't actually think to ask about that, having said that it might be a good thing if the battery sucks though, because then I won't be tempted to take it everywhere and play it LOL.

I played the demo of Tomodachi Life, which I wasn't sure was worth it until I got to the bit where the shop pops up - and inside was a Box costume! I can make BoxFort! Hooray :OD

I'm not sure if I should have used the non-5G version of my internet though, I'm downloading the full game now and it's taking some time. I was surprised to discover that the Switch Lite can indeed take physical game cards, I thought it didn't, I could have bought the game in its physical form! (Which I think is cheaper, a quick Google search though seems to indicate they're not actually available anywhere close by).

Well, time is getting away so I gotta turn in now!

Ta-ta!

11:33pm: My two new pairs of shoes have passed my podiatrist's inspection, which is very good news because they did cost me $400 altogether so if they hadn't that would have been a very expensive error on my account. The main issue is, as I think I've already mentioned is that I've got weak fingers so the tests I'm supposed to do don't work so well. Like I'm supposed to push at the heel and see if it gives way, but with my thumbs most heels don't give way.

Anywho, because of the podiatrist appointment I didn't go to the gym after work today as usual, I was planning to go on Thursday when I thought I had the closing shift, but instead it turns out I'm doing the closing shift tomorrow. This kind of messes with my plans...and I'm also still trying to figure out what to do with my car because it just so happens that the half-yearly underground parking spray clean is on for my level on Thursday. Which means I can't drive home from the parentals on Thursday morning before heading into work like I usually would, so I either have to drive the car to work or leave it there and then drive it home after work. Also it's going to be fully dark when I finish work tomorrow so I'm wondering if should take the car tomorrow...or maybe I should drive over to my parent's place tomorrow morning and just leave the car there for the duration instead (although I'm not sure I want to leave the Lite n Easy out all day - it's in a sealed container with dry ice, but)...

Ah the trails of being me :OP

In other news I realised that I forgot to watch my show this evening! By the time I remembered it was too late, booo, of course it's easy enough to catch up on so it's not that much of a disaster.

Anywho, before I head off, I need to catch up on...

The Friday Five

15/5/26

1. How often do you hear live music? Not often, especially since concerts are so expensive! Although if you're talking non-professional music I do hear that once a week usually when Dad plays the guitar at church. Although he and Mum are currently away so I haven't even heard it then! Other than that, sometimes a live music act will be playing at the club when we're having lunch or whatever.

2. What was your favorite live musical performance ever? Ooo that's a toughy...Back to the Future: The Musical which I saw just last year was absolutely incredible! On the other hand I really enjoyed The Corrs concerts I've seen...And I also saw Brian Wilson (of the Beach Boys fame) in concert too.

3. Do you play an instrument, or sing? Hahahaha, oh heck no, I have no musical ability whatsoever, Mum and Dad's talents in that area obviously skipped a generation.

4. Have you ever performed music onstage? See above, in fact I'm pretty sure if I did I'd be in contravention of the Geneva Accords.

5. Who is your favorite musician? Musicians - The Corrs! The actually did do a concert last year and I wonder if I should have gone to it, but it was like 100km from where I live so...

OK, I better dash, even though I'm starting late tomorrow I need to keep my sleep schedule on track!

Ta-ta!

11:14pm: Today's Archery shoot was a field shoot - which as I've previously noted is where the targets are set up a different distances and sometimes you shoot from inside the bushes or down a hill or up a hill. The targets are also different, they're black and yellow and it only goes up to 6 rather than 10.

Anyway, I decided to try the Blue Peg (there's three different pegs, yellow, blue and red - red is the hardest) which turned out to be rather over-ambitious. Since it was the first time I've done the Blue Peg I automatically got a PB as soon as I got an arrow on a target - however, it wasn't exactly a given I was going to manage to get on the target. So the fact I did was a small victory! On the way though, I also lost three arrows! The good news is, they were all found after the shoot and none of them were broken. Still, one usually doesn't lose three arrows in one shoot! Still I guess I had did have fun in the end.

ALthough, now that it's almost time for bed I'm itchy again! WTF, I was fine a couple of minutes ago...I wonder if I should go see my doctor about this, I mean it's pretty weird.

Anywho, I better get going, once again it's past what should be my bedtime and the work week calls again tomorrow.

Ta-ta for now!

11:37pm: Yeah, I have no idea why, I did do two desk shifts today, but I think I'm doing better with the standing up these days, maybe I just stood oddly.

I also though I had more to write about, but be darned if I can remember what I was going say, hmmm, how weird. I also feel like I've forgotten something important, how annoying!

Oh wait, I just remembered, it's about Ghosts, the website I've been using to watch the episodes doesn't seem to be working any more and thus I've fallen behind :O( I'm pretty sure the season finale eps are coming up soon and if I can't figure out an alternative I'll miss out on all the fun. Booo.

The other thing I just remembered is that Mum sent me a message about taking a half day next Tuesday so I can go to the parental abode to let the washing machine repairman in. But that's quite short notice and work has been a bit funny about taking time off without a lot of notice, which is fair enough I guess. Also I'll be going to the parental abode the next night so I can pick up the Lite n Easy delivery the next day. Which gives me an idea, maybe I can move the time to the Thursday since I might be coming in late anyway depending on when the LnE delivery shows up. Although knowing repair people they might no show up until the last second, which would be irritating.

Speaking of irritating, I hope it's not bug related...which reminds me of yet another thing, I forgot to call up the Pest Control people today because I forgot to take note of their phone number...

Man, my memory is shot today!

Anyway, there's archery tomorrow so I shall be off now.

Ta-ta!

11:09pm: I have no idea! I guess it wasn't super important in that case...although I once again had to move stuff off my gaming laptop so I could download the new update for The Sims 4. Which is annoying, but what can you do? I don't really think I should get a new laptop when this one still works quite well (when it's not running out of space!) and because it's a gaming laptop it has an excellent graphics card, I imagine it'd be expensive to get a new laptop with an equivalent card. Especially since computer chips are getting really expensive these days - or at least that's what I've heard.

Anyway, I'm trying to pay off a mortgage so I shouldn't be making over the top purchases :OP

Not much else to report aside from that, plus it's getting late I'm supposed to fixing my sleep schedule after all! So on that note, I shall be off.

Ta-ta!

PS. I've just remembered...it's my little brother's birthday! We did have the celebration a few weeks ago before my parents left on their trip, but I was going to send him a birthday message today and now it's kind of late...Still, maybe I should and hope his phone is on silent and doesn't wake him up!

11:31pm: "Are you available tomorrow? We can do (thing)".

That's the message I got from the couch repair guy after work tonight, and first of all, it's really short notice but I think I'll be able to get the time off to come back home and let him in.

Second and more importantly...I have not tidied my apartment in like...weeks and the place is a complete disaster zone - well actually it's looking better now (at least to me, Mum probably wouldn't agree) because I've spent the night tidying it. However, there's still messy areas that I'm not sure I'll have enough time to fix up...plus there's the bug issue. There's a lot less of them now, but they still pop up and I'd rather the couch repair man not see them, but there's not much I can do about it.

Then again, I have no one to blame but myself for letting the place get into the state it's in. Perhaps this will be the wake up call I need to leave a tidier lifestyle? I kind of hope so!

I do hope the guy comes, it isn't a firm confirmation, he says he'll contact me tomorrow, which you know is rather annoying, I have no idea if his clients are usually people who don't work or able to leave said place of work with next to no notice, but who knows?

Anyway, I better dash, I was hoping to get more zzzs tonight but I might have to spend a bit more time folding my clean clothes so I can get into my bed, LOL.

Remember people, it's good to be tidy...

Ta-ta.

Hunger Comfort Hygiene Energy Fun Social Bladder Room Notice

11:45pm: Yes, indeed! The new limbs are paying off, in fact I did better shooting at 40m than 30, which is weird...

However, my bow is acting weird, my top limb goes into the bow alright, but I have huge trouble removing it. One of the long-term people took a look and mentioned that the little...thing (I'm not actually sure what it's called) the bolt on the back of the limb slides into is crooked. It's not meant to be, so it's kind of getting caught in there. An odd state of affairs. Hopefully, the guy who looks after the equipment will be in tomorrow and be able to help me out.

Apart from that excitement not much to report - I did go down to the nearby Woolworths to recycle my soft plastics, and then headed to Aldi because this week's special is suitcase and travel. I was hoping to get a new suitcase, but alas they were too big. I did get some more cheese though!

Also I went to church, the kid who's been playing the piano with Mum and Dad was there, it's the first time he's played by himself and unfortunately, it was a bit rough. I hope he's not to bummed out...

Anyway, I stayed up waaaay to late last night, so I have to wrap it up here.

Ta-ta!

11:28pm: Yes! As it happened the Lite'n'Easy arrived at my parents place before I did this morning, which unfortunately meant that the box that the food was in a few weeks back wasn't picked up because I hadn't put it out. They should be able to take them next time, though.

As a result of this, I headed into work on time only to discover that I'd been put on the closing shift since on of the branch staff had called in sick - and I wasn't expected in until 10. The boss did say that he could do the shift instead, but after I flipped a coin I decided that I'd stay back (after all, while we were short on staff the boss was taking heaps of closing shifts) which means I get to start later tomorrow. Fortunately, the Thursday delivery of items wasn't nearly as big as Tuesday's one so with any luck I won't feel like I'm run off my feet.

Having said that, I should turn in ASAP, I didn't get nearly enough zzzzs last night (probably because it's that time o' the month) and even if I am getting a later start I need to catch up on those.

The closing shift went fine, we managed to get everyone out of the library on time - sometimes patrons dilly-dally - and while I did briefly look at some clothes at T.K Maxx (there was a nice white cardigan, but unfortunately, it was slightly too small for me) I didn't have to wait for the bus because the driver let me on even though they'd just pulled away from the bus stop.

The state of my apartment though almost prevented me from getting the pills I'm supposed to take during the first four days of my period - I ran out last time, but went to my doctor and got a new script. Which I thought I'd put safely on my bedside table only to find it not there! Fortunately I managed to track it down and got to the Pharmacy before it closed.

Anwyho, I better be off!
