Sena's DW :: Watermelon Life

Yesterday I spent literally all day in the basement cleaning and I am PAYING FOR IT today. My back is out, my knees are out and my HANDS are killing me, but hey, the basement is clean, even though Lee is supposed to be the one doing the furniture and vacuuming down there, no biggie, I'll just, you know, SUFFER.

Like it pisses me off SO MUCH that he does literally NOTHING around here and then gets pissed when I get sarcastic about being asked to do extra things, especially when they're things that we agreed, when I moved in, HE WOULD DO. I don't understand it. And I don't understand why MOM ALLOWS IT when she gets as frustrated with his laziness as I do. She just won't say anything, just does things HERSELF or gets ME to do them, and I don't get it. Like honestly what the fuck.

Anyway.

So, yesterday I soaked and cleaned the floors, cleaned all the furniture and did a freaking MILLION loads of laundry. The laundry was the least taxing part, so I didn't mind it so much, and I did mine at the same time, my clothes as well as all my bedding (now that the cats aren't sick anymore), so my whole room smells clean and fresh right now, which I like. It won't last long but it's nice while it DOES last.

I did take my computer down with me to play music and movies for background noise while I worked, and on the breaks I took in-between stuff I worked on Everything I Do and managed to get it finished. It ended up at 30 pages long, which is decent, and I like this one particularly because of it's feels-y nature.

I'm done writing the post-Horror High one-shots for now (there are 5 all together)... so I started writing a post-Storm Season one-shot instead! Even though I'm only 6 pages into Storm Season itself! :D;; Anyway, it's called Like Feathers Softly and is about Cas and Dean's first "weekend" after it turns out Cas isn't, you know... DEAD. I really shouldn't write it before I finish Storm Season, though, I just know there are going to be a bunch of things I end up having to go back and edit. :P So, maybe I'll just buckle down and get working on Storm Season properly after all.

I still have mixed feelings about writing Storm Season because of the lack of a response I've gotten to Horror High. But I'm still having fun writing in HH-verse, so I might as well, right? Even if it's just for me.

And there are a FEW people out there who are reading HH and enjoying it-- I got a nice review yesterday from someone saying they were sorry HH isn't getting the attention it deserves and encouraging me not to get discouraged, saying that THEY really liked it and looked forward to reading more. That was nice to get in my inbox after I finally collapsed in my bedroom after all the cleaning.

When I went to print Everything I Do last night my printer WOULD NOT WORK and my computer kept telling me it was offline, when the printer itself was clearly telling me it WAS online, they just weren't communicating. I think there was an update somewhere and it just screwed up the connection. I restarted the printer and that didn't work, so I restarted my laptop and THAT didn't work, and finally I restarted the Internet router itself... and that did it! I was able to print Everything I Do after all.

I can't print anything else until the end of the week, though, I am basically out of paper. I JUST bought paper about two weeks ago but I've been doing so much writing and printing that I blew through that pack in no time. I'm ordering two more on Friday when my money comes in. :P

God, my back is really killing me today. So much that my jaw is actually coming in second in my rating of body part pain.

Um, oh! I can't remember if I said here or not but my pothos cutting is growing tons of roots now, so soon I'll be able to clip the useless parts of the stem back and actually plant it in dirt! That's exciting. Unsure how the cutting from Bucky and Isley are doing since they're being propagated in soil, I have to check them today or tomorrow. The baby spider plant I have in water is starting to grow roots as well, so now I'm just crossing my fingers for the second pink princess philodendron since the first one died. If it hasn't done anything by Friday I'm going to see if I can just order one as a full plant from the garden centre instead. :|

Today I'm just hoping to take it easy because of my owies and work on writing and some painting. Finish up the Nonbinary Cabbage Dog for Poe. Also I have to do my postcards to mail them on Friday, but I might have to wait until tomorrow for that because my hands are pretty messed up today. (It just occurred to me that I think I forgot to take my CBD drops last night which would be part of why my hands hurt so much today.)

Other than that... maybe I'll tinker with my ipad again. Poe and I were talking about how we both used to draw but got away from it, and they suggested we pick it up again. They want to use an ipad for it while I prefer paper media (for the texture), but I wouldn't mind TRYING drawing on the ipad if I can figure out how to download the program I can't remember the name of right now. It might be fun. But first I have to figure out how to reconfigure the ipad to MY gmail instead of Mom's and stuff like that. I've been trying but it's a struggle. Bah.

P.S. The thing that all the vendors use to take cards at markets is a SQUARE reader. Do not forget that, self.

EDIT: Oh, also, I have like four heavy dolls that have to sit on my printer for lack of anywhere else to put them (Aidan, Katie, Tyler & Sparrow) and the printer WILL NOT RUN with them sitting on top of it, obviously, so when I want to print something, I have to take them all off. So while I was dicking around trying to get the printer to work yesterday they were all sitting in their customary places on my bed and table—and Katie just TOOK A HEADER onto the floor. Thankfully she was alright, but her wig came out an absolute disaster and now I think I have to actually hairspray it to fix it. Boo.

EDIT #2: I’m so nauseous right now. My lithium is really kicking my ass this morning. Ugh.

EDIT #3: THE DRAWING PROGRAM IS CALLED PROCREATE!!
