50km??!!!???!! :ghost:
That must have taken, what, 10 hours?!
Why did you do that? Just to exercise?

===============================

Yesterday one of my laptop's keys was stuck and kept pressing itself. Of all keys, it had to be the 6. Looked like my laptop was possessed by a daemon and was typing the number of the beast on its own accord. (If you ever spill a drink on your keyboard, DO NOT MOVE IT until it's dried!!!!!! The keys act like umbrellas for the mechanism so it's spill-proof to some extent, but if you move it, the drops might sneak into the mechanism and damage it)

I did have a replacement keyboard but didn't want to replace it alone, wanted someone else above my head just to make sure I didn't do anything stupid. I thought I'd just go to our hackerspace, they even had an event there. I asked on their IRC channel if anyone was there but got no reply until what was meant to be a few minutes into the event. Meanwhile the 6 was behaving better so I let it be for the day.

And then my brother called me. So our kitchen trashcan (under the sink, inside the cupboard) was broken and didn't close well. We went to our village during the weekend without taking down the trash ("come on, it's just two days"). When we came back, the whole cupboard was full of what looked like insect eggs. For some reason, we managed to not realize that until late in the afternoon. Took us forever to empty the cupboard and either clean or throw away all the things. A lot of small things went wrong in that process. Plus my knees got bruises from sitting seiza on the marble floor all that time.

Just as I thought I was done with that, I had to go and buy some milk (we have some milk vending machines that sell great and cheap milk, but I need to cycle a bit to reach them). Meanwhile I thought I'd drop by my boyfriend's house (he's away for a few days) in order to drop off some things and pick up, among other things, garbage bags (mine were under the sink so we threw them all away just in case). I forgot the garbage bags. We had to look for leftover shopping bags that were not in the cursed cupboard.

I came back with the milk, wanted to make a hot chocolate, and I wanted to make it a bit thicker so I was looking for the niseste flour. 404 file not found. My brother dropped half the contents of a cupboard while desperately trying to find niseste, but still nothing. I tried using normal flour and failed miserably (don't try that, guys). To make things worse, I spilled half the flour and parts of the freshly made hot chocolate (in the kitchen, fortunately, not next to my laptop!).

I was looking forward to the time reaching 00:00 so I could finally get rid of my bad luck. Little did I know, it wouldn't happen yet. So I put my laptop and then myself to sleep mode. But then the 6 key kept pressing itself, making both me and the laptop wake up and filling the password prompt with shadowed sixes. After this, one single mosquito was waking me up every approximately one hour, either by buzzing into my ear or making me itchy. I couldn't even locate it, after one or two seconds it would just vanish without a warning, as if it had gotten "Hide in plain sight" from some D&D game.

EDIT: This, this, just this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ePTkWZlxZU

Fortunately today was a much better day. I killed the mosquito (around 3PM, finally!), went to the hackerspace, successfully replaced the laptop keyboard, ran some other errands nearby, and cycled back without receiving a single rain drop.

Kuga and Yuki.n: *hugs* Yuki that sounds like one of my nightmares, seriously. I can't even explain what happens in them but they always end up something like that.

I have a cold, this time I know I do because I am coughing a lot. And it feels like I am losing my voice. Great. I only seem to cough bad when I am eating or trying to sleep. Which will be fun tonight. Oy. It isn't even cold yet, I think it's from sitting outside for the festival this past weekend, it was chilly. And my hands were so cold afterwards that when I got home and they started to warm up they had that tingling feeling. I think I am going to bed early, but I feel like I did not do much today, or haven't been lately. *sigh* Also I really need a job. Too much Kala and Yuki merch I want. heh And I want to feel like my life means something right now. I did okay in the skills test, except Excel (stupid formulas!) but I won't hear back until next week if anything.
 
Was thinking about postponing my exam, but I'll get charged a fee if I reschedule within 10 business days …… ugh. Time to cram.
 
^You can postpone an exam? What weird school do you go to? lol We never had that option here.

I just feels so overwhelmed right now. There's never enough time in the day. Plus now with this cold on top of everything else. And trying to get a job. I have an interview on Monday, so of course I am nervous for it because I might be losing my voice. I will take care of it yes over the weekend, but still. Ugh. I want one day where I feel good please. (Now they are hammering away doing a roof across the street, so I can't even rest properly. They play Mexican music/radio really loud too. Oy.)
 
^ It's for a license, not actual school because I finished last year. If only they did give us that option, haha.


I'm not confident in my memorization skills …. studying is so hard when you've not done it seriously in so long ToT

My friend gave me the flu and a respiratory infection. I've had so much orange juice and soup it's ridiculous. I HAD to catch it the week before my family go to Melbourne to see the Lion King. At least the doctor said it should clear up by then
 
^Feel better

This cold is really annoying me. I wish I could cough it all out. But instead it comes in spurts. And my appetite has been all over the place. Also my shoulder is still killing me. I had to catch this before my interview Monday, though I had the cold before I got the interview. Still. I hope I don't lose my voice. I just want to curl up right now. But stuff to do so got to keep plugging on.
 
I hope both @LacrimosaRaven and @Liana_Ilia feel better soon!

I'm also sick, sort of. It's just a terrible headache and a bit of a stuffy nose. Though, what really annoys me is this headache (might be a migrane, dunno) has been around for almost two days. I finally caved in and took some medicine.
 
^Oh no, hope you feel better.

I had a headache all day today. So another day wasted due to rest. Just started an antibiotic so hopefully that'll help. I hope this cold goes away fast. Also got my far on the water record (vinyl) today but it also skips. So I think it is the record player. So I bought a new one. My bank account is so low... I hope I get that job that I interviewed for yesterday. Actually it's two positions, so that's 2 chances, but I hate waiting.
 
^So do I, but I don't even have a violin (or any stringed instrument, for that matter).

My nose is more clogged up than a frozen water pipe in winter...

By the way, @sozan elsaid , I love your signature. Hikari no Senritsu all the way! :dote:
 
I've apparently been turned down for a job that was pretty much identical to the one I used to do. How I'm not qualified for something I did for EIGHT MISERABLE YEARS I'll never know, because it's their policy not to give feedback to unsuccessful candidates.

No wonder the employment market in this country is broken. :stupidtable:
