People Who Put Up With Me

11:16pm: Indeed! The great man is 100 years old today! :OD Let's hear it for the man with the dulcet tones and conservationist extraordanaire.

By co-incidence it's animal print Friday (unofficially) which was a fun coincidence :O)

Anywho, I'm planning on doing Archery tomorrow, so I better not dilly-dallying too much.

Right now I'm trying to figure out how to create a box for Sims to wear on their head - why do I want to do this, you may ask, well mostly so I can make my own little BoxFort - which is one of Dr Gluon's Tomodachi Life characters who is the personification of a box fort (whenever Doc plays a game where things come in boxes rather than throwing them out he proceeds to make a box fort of them). He's adorable and I think it'd be pretty funny to have him in game. Only problem, I don't know to actually make a mesh that has a hole in it so you can se his face. I found some bag head swatches with lots of different emotions on them, but it's not quite the same. But I may have to roll with it.

Fortunately, the kind creators of Sims 4 CC actually have a box costume so I don't have to worry about making that at least - the things people create, it's amazing, LOL.

I better be going now - before I do here's...

These questions were written by pebbleinalake on Dreamwidth.

1. What do you consider your current main fandom? (This can include hobbies and collecting. Anything you feel fannish about!) I'd say...The Sims 4 and the TV show Ghosts.

2. What was your first fandom? It was actually Inspector Gadget, my favourite cartoon! Dad even recorded a few episodes on VHS for me and I watched them endlessly.

3. Do you have any favorite headcanons or fan theories? Ooo lots! But I don't really have the time here to elaborate on them LOL. Most of them have probably been jossed, but what are you gonna do?

4. Have you ever created fanworks? Oh for sure! Mostly fan fic for Back to the Future, although I did write a fic for Ghosts too - although it did get totally jossed, boo-urns.

5. Are you still active in any old fandoms? I'm still a big BTTF fan, although sadly there's no Message Boards anymore - I do go to the Reddit page and sometimes there's interesting stuff there.

And now, I'm off!

Ta-ta!

11:32pm: Heh I swear I used that title every second entry, but I fear I don't have enough things of interest to come up with anything of interest!

It was a busy day at work, not only were there lots of books to process, there was also a meeting and a farewell morning tea for one of our volunteers. The latter was fun, but with the meeting that was like a whole hour that I didn't do stuff. Then I was on the desk twice today, oh and the magazine, along the Read Nows (which are popular books we get 25 copies of for six months before they get returned). So yeah, a lot of work, but not a lot of time!

As mentioned I did order my Lite'n'Easy but I didn't go over to the parentals which means I'll need to do that tomorrow morning before work - which means I might be starting a bit late. Hopefully though I can still hitch a ride home with my colleague. We still haven't done last week's Travel Quiz!

That being the case I need to get myself to bed!

Ta-ta!

11:39pm: Since I worked on Saturday I had a half day today! Which I'm not sure I should have done because I might end up coming in a bit late on two of the Thursdays in May while the parental units are away since the Lite n Easy doesn't show up until nearly 9am so I might not be able to get into work until 10am. But if this happens I'll need to stay back an hour later to make up time, which means I'll miss my ride home with my colleague! I could have used my time off in lieu instead. I do have to ask what happens the LnE does arrive at a decent hour and I get to work on time because I don't want to have to stay back if it's not necessary.

In other news, I'm not entirely sure if the Doctor's Referral bruhaha has been cleared up yet, I did ring my GPs office and gave them the email address of the psychiatrist's office so hopefully it's all cleared up now. I also dropped into Service Australia to see about my Medicare card, it was definitely sent out though... I can ask for a new one, but then I have to update it at doctor's offices. On the other hand, if someone has the card that might be bad news. I guess it's possible the envelope is in my house somewhere but I don't think so, as they said it was sent out in January and I did a big clean up during that time. Of course, maybe that means I threw it out. Gulp!

Anywho, I better wrap this up because once again time is getting away from me, so on that note...

Ta-ta!

11:10pm: Yes! I finally got around to doing my laundry, which I've been procrastinating on all week - however I haven't actually hung it up, which considering the late hour is poorly done by me.

Anywho, I'll make this quick, I had my first Saturday shift of the year today - fortunately, my foot is much better now so I didn't spend all three and a half hours in pain, well mostly. Me being me, I now have something else going on, which is rather embarrassing so I'm not gonna go into it, suffice to say I once again skipped going to the gym - I guess I'll go Monday afternoon. Which I can do because much to my disappointment the furniture repair man is out of town this week, so no couch fix yet. I'm a bit concerned that he might not be able to give me much notice and work does not like it when you ask for time off with minimal notice. If the parental units were here I could ask Mum to let the guy in for me, but unless I want to wait until June to get this fixed nothin' doing.

So there was something I was going to say yesterday, but I forgot what is was at the time, then I remembered, but now I've forgot again, LOL, typical me.

Incidentally, the Doctor's Referral saga continues because I didn't realise my Doctor's office closes at 1pm on the weekend, since I dilly-dallyed this morning I didn't get a chance to go there before I had to start work and by the time I finished at 1:30 they were already closed. I could try tomorrow but I'm doing archery in the morning and I don't want to have to rush around. I may have to leave it to Monday. Which I guess isn't a big deal as it's not like anything can be done until then anyway.

On that note, I better meme and run!

The Friday Five

1/5/26

These questions were written by pebbleinalake.

1. Do you like to spend time outdoors? Hmm, depends on the weather and time of year, I do enjoy it on a nice summer day that's not too hot! But I'm not a walking in the rain kind of person.

2. What is your favorite flower? I've always been partial to red roses, to the extent that I actually tried (and succeeded!) in catching the bouquet at a cousin's wedding because it was a rose one. :O) Suffice to say I was not the next person to get married :OP.

3. Any favorite warm weather activities? Swimming, taking a walk, sitting inside in the air conditioning :OP

4. Have you ever kept a garden? If so, what did you grow? Sadly no, I'm not much of a green thumb, I've even failed at keeping cactuses alive! I do have one plant that my father saved from death some 20 years ago. It's very hardy and is still alive today and even flowers in the summer time!

5. Do you know how to swim? Having been born in Australia I do! Swimming is a very important skill here and as a five/six year old I went to swimming lessons at the local pool, where you had to reach certain skills to pass the course. I wouldn't call myself a strong swimmer, but I did pass and can keep my head above water.

Right on a final note, I went to church this evening and worked the PowerPoint, so although there was no singing at least the words were up there, which I'm sure was appreciated.

On that note, ta-ta!

11:50pm: Although that's not an excuse to stay up late, but here we are again!

I'm a bit annoyed though, because I left my mobile phone at home today and the furniture repair man called wanting to know if I was doing anything tomorrow. Now I am having a half day, but I've also got an appointment with my psychiatrist so I actually have to leave around 10am so maybe there wouldn't have been enough time - plus I haven't cleaned up my house. Still, it'd be nice to get my couch fixed :O( He also offered to come by on Saturday, but I have a work shift that day, so boo hiss.

In good news, my right foot is feeling much better, so I'm wondering if I can stop taking the anti-inflammatories. The doctor didn't actually tell me when to stop taking them only to make a doctor's appointment if the foot wasn't getting better. I guess I'll have to ask the internet LOL.

Meanwhile the parental units are on the move, they're currently in Singapore waiting for their plane to refuel before it flies onto London. Apparently Dad has a cold, but lets hope not! I think it could just be allergies.

Hmm, I was about to type something else, but now I've forgotten what it was...oh well, the Library Manager decided to move into our Collections Area today! I'm not sure if he's going to be there for the long run, but I guess he might like it there better than the rather isolated single office in the back where he usually sits.

Anywho, it's about to midnight so I gotta dash!

11:17pm: My Carrot Gen Sim, Julien - from the Very Veggie Legacy Challenge has completed his Aspiration! I wasn't sure I was ever going to get there LOL! So now the way is clear for the Squash Gen and the heir Squashington - although he's currently still a toddler...and I'm playing on Long Lifespan, I may have to change it. Although that will mean the Broccoli Gen will shuffle off this mortal coil, but I guess that's the point of a legacy.

In other news, I got to work for the opening shift today only to discover...I wasn't on it! I have no idea when that changed because I put the notification on my phone and everything, so I must have been scheduled to do it at some point. Even though we have a monthly roster, stuff does seem to change a lot. On the plus side I was able to be very helpful with the huge influx of items returned over the long weekend. I think we got on top of it all, although when I left at 4:30pm the courier had dropped off a large number of crates so hopefully the staff got through those, but who knows.

Since I came in early I left a bit early, and usually I'd go to the Gym as it's Tuesday - but I had to go to my parents place to get my car back and also farewell them as they head off on their European trip. They fly out on their first leg tomorrow morning, I hope they have a great time :O)

Anywho, it's coming up on 11:30pm so I better wrap this up. I have yet to hear from the furniture repair man, which is probably a good thing because my apartment is still a total mess. Ugh, come on me, get with the program! I may have to get some boxes just to throw all this stuff in them.

Sigh...

10:33pm: Sadly, I don't have new legs (which would be handy with all the trouble these things give me), but rather new limbs for my bow! I wasn't expecting them to arrive so soon - they were only ordered last week - but when I showed up today for archery, the President of the Club let me know they were here.

Since I wasn't expecting them I actually signed up for the really easy distance, 30m/20m/10m I'm happy to report that I got myself a genuine new PB finally besting a score I got last year. I almost an All Around 60 (Yellow) at 10m, but alas I got two scores in the red at the last end - however I have already got an All Around award at the distance, so I'm not too disappointed. Also 10 metres is like the distance you stand from a dart board so not that hard to get all gold on LOL.

After the shoot I decided to see if I could hit the target at 50m since I should be able to do that with the new limb - which increases the poundage of the bow. And indeed, I could! Not very well, but I at least got on the target so lucky me :O)

I packed up the target and headed off but rather than going straight home I went to the Mall to buy some more Chocolate bunnies - LOL I'm addicted. I did have some trouble finding a parking spot as apparently everyone and their mother decided to go shopping too (I guess because yesterday was a public holiday and tomorrow is as well), I did consider going to the Aldi to see if my cheese was there (it hasn't been at the one across the road this week), but I wanted to get home and watch Dr Gluon play the Very Veggie Legacy so I did that.

I also arranged to see my friend Lara for dinner this evening, but alas the best laid plans of Moose went astray as I came down with a terrible headache - which I can't take anything for at the moment because of the anti-inflammatories I'm taking for my foot, and also some digestive issues (boo) so I had to take a raincheck. I kind of delayed letting her know because I was expecting her to call me to confirm the time, but when she did call it was to let me know she (and her sister) were on their way. So I feel bad about that...I'm sure they had a good dinner though.

So I planned to play Sims 4 this evening, but I couldn't because of my headache, which thankfully has gone away, but it's bed time now, grumble. I won't to make sure I get enough zzzs! My brother and I are going to my parents house for lunch tomorrow and I have to bring the roast pork over - I also have to make a card for Mum for Mother's Day.

I'm also dropping my car off, because Mum and Dad are off to Europe for a month on Wednesday and are lending their car to my little bro - but they still need to do stuff on Tuesday, so I'm letting them use mine.

Anywho, on that note I better go. Wish me good health!
