On a different topic. I sat down to work on my game, maybe learn some ruby so I can work on some systems for said game, and my family all immediately converged on my location.
My spouse magically came home from work. The teenagers all came out of their rooms. Little brother came out of his room. Mother in law. Uncle. Everyone.
“Cobalt, why are you sounding so snappy?”
-.-
I was TRYING to learn to code.
I feel this very strongly. For whatever reason people in my house know when I’m about to start really hitting my stride and that’s when it’s the most important time to converge.

@somasatori For real! They were all on the living room watching TV so I figured I could sit at my laptop in the living room… nope. It’s like I shown the at signal.

@Raeras I’ll get going into a book-- get into almost 50k words and then my brain just goes “blurb”. And I stop. I just stop writing.
I call it the 40K Wall, because that’s where mine always hits. The first 40K come so easy, but right then, every time, I stall.
I’m at about the 20k mark on my current project. My faerie project is at the 40k and I just nngggh it feels like a huge amount of words for nothing of important happening.
I’m writing out WWO to see how that goes.
Good luck!
I have (knock on fake wood) broken out of my stall on my latest project and am in the ‘staying up far too late writing’ stage. It does break, eventually.

My RL peeve is my brain weasels insisting I must have done something wrong to X, Y, and/or Z, because things seem different compared to about three months ago. I’m positive I didn’t say or do anything, but my brain is insisting SOMETHING IS WRONG, OMG even though there might be nothing wrong, and I’m trying to resist the urge to directly confront the matter in case it’s really nothing on my end.

Grumpy old guy called being Trans a mental illness.
I don’t want to quit. But I sure af don’t want to be around him ever again.
-
@junipersky Ugh, I’m sorry.

Working with the kitties seems to make you happy, so…
Have you considered strongly suggesting he eat an entire bag of shit every time he opens his mouth instead? I mean, definitely do what’s best for you. Like 100% do that. But even Emily Post wouldn’t expect you to be sweet and friendly to a trash can.

You don’t talk to trash cans. You leave them out on the curb in all weathers to be picked up and emptied into a truck. That’s also a suggestion.

This also seems like a reasonable option.

Another possible option despite my believing people as a species are horrible. Get him some trans literature, hand it to him, and suggest he read it before he displays his ignorance on the subject again. Alternatively, shoot him and feed his body to the animals.
But don’t quit. The cats need you.

Fuck chronic fatigue. -.-

@Cobalt So much and with a rusty iron spork. I am so sick and tired (meheheh) of being sick and tired and only barely managing to hang on and do the things. Most of the things anyway.
-
This is more health information then y’all really need but I am augh frustrated. My rheumatologist has gone completely dark on me. I had x-rays done four months ago that she has not given me the results on yet. At this point I’m just gonna ask my primary to re-do them. -.-
-
Fuck chronic fatigue … when made worse by heat … in the summer months.
Also, you know just any ‘invisible’ illness. Sometimes, I personally feel, it’s more tiring because I spend so much time masking because you can’t see it and I don’t want to be defined by it too.
-
Also, I decided to start a health program type of thing today. It’s the easy version of calorie range, exercise, read 10 minutes, easy type…I already regret my life choices.
This is fine. Everything is fine. It will be fine.

Extremely small time peeve but:
Having to go in to the office on a work from home day with no heads up because one of your co-workers has a ‘last minute appointment’. x.x
At least I get an extra WFH day next week because of it.
-
RW people in my family (and elsewhere, but family in particular today) trying to argue the old “climate change is a myth propagated by the liberal media” chestnut when most of the world is on fire. This is probably more than a “peeve” tbh, but holy shit.
-
ugh, I feel this one especially lately. my fam’s got bonus “wtf” points for believing global warming is not only inevitable but supposed to happen as part of the apocalypse, so…yayyyyy
-
Late to the party, but if you drop your book in my DM - I’ll buy a copy. I might as well use my shopping problem to someone’s advantage.

Why does this boy have to be so nosey? Why he gotta ask me what I’m doing any time I’m doing something.
