//drags self out of pit
Well, honestly, over my dead body. But considering my current workload, I feel dead half the time.
Chitchat with me, mayhaps?

Sure, I don't start my real work for an hour or so
How are things besides being super busy?

Hell, but I'm working on it.
No, but seriously, I've been doing better. I've got so many backup plans that my backup plans have backup plans, so at this point it's just been preparing for finals in my school, working on getting the paperwork in for my third job, working the other two, and generally keep going. For the plush side, I have found video games that I stashed away and bought when I thought I'd get laid up for my wisdom teeth are now serving their purpose of being a pick-me-up now.
I've binge played ... Abzu, AER, Gorogoa, Slime Ranchers, (Outer Wilds but haven't finished it yet), and currently working on Cattails. ^^ It's all very fun and lifting my spirits nicely.
How are you?

Oh! And I have gained two new friends. This is one of them.

Your friend is cute!
I feel like I'm moving into the next chapter of life right now. All of the "problem" people at work have finally been fired - we may only have enough front desk staff left to cover 12/21 shifts right now, and I do feel bad for my manager that she's having to pick up the slack, but things are much more peaceful now. I finally finished paying off my Lasik as well, so while I may be broke now, I can actually start collecting books again soon, which is usually a source of comfort for me. The cats are doing well, my relationship is going well, we've gone below freezing the past few nights so the grass is starting to finally die off - overall, I'm just happy things are calm. The past few days I helped hook up the PS5 and have been working on decorating a VERY Back to the Future themed room (though the hoverboard I hung on the wall fell off and hit my husband in the head while he was sleeping... oops). Now if I can just figure out how to fit some extra hours of sleep into my life, I'll be good.

That's wonderful! I'm so happy for you! That's sounds like it's so fun! Also a Back to the Future themed room sounds absolutely fantastic! What's going to be other things in it?

There are SO MANY THINGS in that room, I would be claustrophobic in there Right now there are 5 glass fronted bookshelves, and 2 regular bookshelves, though he is going to swap one of the regulars for another glass fronted one soon. One glass bookshelf is all Jaws related stuff, and another is all Jurassic Park related, and one of the regular bookshelves has actual books/Hot Wheels on it. The rest is all BTTF. What I can remember off the top of my head are a pair of the 2015 shoes with the lights and self lacing, an autographed figure (maybe bobblehead?) of Goldie, a mock up print of the 2015 newspaper after it changed, an actual newspaper from the USA Today that they released in 2015 that looked like the BTTF paper, the 2015 color shifting baseball cap, an autographed Clock Tower flyer from the actress that played Jennifer, several Pop Vinyl figures (including an autographed Doc Brown one), various versions of board games (Yahtzee, Monopoly, all BTTF editions of pretty much everything). both license plates, a full scale hoverboard, various mini hoverboards (including some from Griff's gang), 3 advent calendars that produced sets you build, various DeLorean models (some light up, some are built of legos, etc.), some Australian postage stamps, the 3 logs that are thrown into the train in the 3rd movie (I made those myself though), trading cards, comic books, a lego model of the train that did not come with instructions and was very hard to build, the Almanac and the bag/receipt it came with, framed replica movie posters, framed Jaws 19 mock up poster, a replica bottle of Pepsi Perfect (with the Pepsi in it), keychains made from actual clipped scenes from a reel of movie film, and many more things that I'm forgetting because there is just so much stuff! He loves BTTF like I love Warriors if you can't tell

Wow! O: That is so impressive! I am highly impressed! Super neat all around! Also that room sounds like it has everything in it besides a kitchen sink, as the saying goes.

He doesn't care about clutter as much as I do. I love my bookshelves, but they are all along only 1 wall in my room. I don't think I could handle being surrounded by them like he is.

Hi!
Don't get me wrong, I want an entire room of bookshelves, I just don't want it to be my bedroom. Like if something were to happen to my husband and I were somehow able to keep the house, I would turn his room into a library just for my Warriors stuff.

I've had to remove the majority of my valuables from my room and stash them in the garage next door (kitten teething issues), but even with them all in place my room still looks fairly empty. I don't know why, but I like things to be neat and tidy to the point where each section of my room has to be organized with whatever takes up the space, leading to some... uncomfortably large gaps of nothingness. One side of my room looks cozy, with a bookshelf to the far right, my cherry oak desk sitting next to it carrying my monitor and keyboard, and a 5 piece canvas situated above the monitor with 5 shelves of equal width to each canvas piece positioned directly beneath all of them, which used to hold my physical video game cases. The opposite side of the room is a puzzle for me however. What to do with a large stretch of wall where the ground space is already taken up by my bed, my mini fridge, my heater, and my dresser? (On top of the dresser is my 55" screen TV, and my PS4 & PS5 to the left of it. I have another 5 piece canvas above the TV, a 5 piece shelving unit several feet to the left, and just above the mattress near the side of the head of the bed are two shelves, one for holding collectible statues, and the other is where I keep my water bottle, a light up globe, and the book that I'm currently reading.) To me it is such an awkward space to fill, like if you had a green canvas dotted with a sparse population of trees and declared it a forest.

Try getting a little thing of paint and painting some flowers or vines growing through the cracks.

Jk, I appreciate the suggestion, I'll consider it.

Kitten teething is why I splurged on the glass fronted bookcases for my collection. I then added magnets to the bottom of each door so they can't just use their claws to open them anyway.
I also love extreme organization. My house may not be as clean as it could be (talking animal hair/dust mostly) but it is ridiculously neat. The only areas I've had to give up on are my husband's room (he keeps the door closed most of the time anyway though, so I don't have to see it often) and the kitchen counter, but only because even if I clear the counter off every day, by the next morning there are grocery bags, receipts, mail, coupons, etc. all over it.
How big are the 5 piece canvases?
