#first world problems

Feel free to ignore this, I’m just getting my thoughts out before I go mad trying to puzzle this out.

I’m trying to create a staging area for photographing things (books and merchandise, if you’re curious), and I think I’ve found an affordable solution that would also increase our storage space in the living room. (an ongoing struggle in this house)

The problem is, it's the only space where we can put our Christmas tree, and if I were to invest in this item or furniture, there is nowhere else it could be moved to in the house to make room for the tree.

So now my brain is like, well, maybe Home Depot still makes the holo glitter tree. Maybe you could get a smaller version and fit it next to the window...

Except then what do I do with the old tree?

And honestly, I don't like that we can’t see our Christmas tree from the couch because the couch faces the opposite direction (our living room and dining room are one room, the tree frames the dining table in the back while the TV faces the opposite wall where the tv is because it's the only blank wall without a window/built-in in the room) so maybe we should just redo the layout of the entire room???

The TV in that room is somewhat old and freezes up a lot. Maybe if we got a smaller one, it’d fit on the wall with the built-in shelves, and I could move the couch and make space for the Christmas tree...

This is the part where if I was still able bodied I’d start playing furniture Tetris until I figured this out, but alas, I am a sick bitch reliant on the help of others and Mothman’s the type of neurodivergent that hates change in his environment without thorough planning and negotiation.

We’re the epitome of immovable object meets unstoppable force.

Or we would be if I was still physically capable of the gremlin energy my brain puts out.

Anyway. I’ve been thinking about this for hours and it all comes down to the fact that I have too much stuff but also not enough of the right stuff. Annoying.

I hate how I have to add a ton of exclusions to my AO3 filters just to find a handful of Chaggie fics where they're the main couple. Or any wlw-centered fics in this fandom, for that matter.

I’m realising that drawing TOS Spirk is so much harder than AOS or SNW simply due to the lack of high resolution reference photos 😫 it’s so hard to get the faces right without being able to see the fine lines and contours. I’ve been squinting at pixels trying to work out where their smile lines should be 😂

...this is the problem with living in the twenty-first century. Many of us have every material thing we need, so the job of marketing is now to tie the economy to our emotions, to make us feel like we need more by making us want things we never needed before. We are made to feel poor on thirty thousand pounds a year. To feel poorly travelled if we have been to only ten other countries. To feel too old if we have a wrinkle. To feel ugly if we aren't photoshopped and filtered.

The bedroom was poorly designed, a lack of concern for where the bed may be placed. Yet, that is the entire house, there's no other layout for the bedroom that would have been feasible.

The bed is placed optimally according to rules of harmony. If you ignore the window.

Large doors bring you into the room from the singular hallway of the house. It is a small home. The door sits in a corner, empty wall along where the hallways continues from the outside. And the bed is centered along the opposite wall. Balanced, secure, a sense of safety in the ability to see the door from lying down.

However, the window sits centered along the opposite wall of the door as well. Do you see the problem? The headboard rises up, covers most of the window, never truly allowing sunshine to fall upon you as you take an afternoon nap, or wake up slowly in the morning.

Not that it matters greatly. The house itself is positioned at an angle with the sun. So that the sun rises on the far corner of the garage and sets along the other corner. No windows in either space. And no time of day where the sun may shine into any windows along the front or back of the house.

But I feel a sense of dread, of uneasiness. At the lack of consideration for light within this home. Often times, I feel as if I am withering. My leaves pale in comparison to what they once could have been. Every other day, I feel a new one drop without replacement.

I need to return to the sunlight. How can I shift my home into realignment?

I’m not a huge makeup person I just like to use it to attempt to not look like a zombie but the one thing I do every single day is my eyebrows and my eyebrow pencil ran out 😭😭😭😭😭

#it’s the one thing I’ve always been self conscious about #my mom never taught me anything about makeup or eyebrows #she made me get them waxed once and traumatized me #so they have always been bad looking and I feel like finally in my late 30s I have gotten them to look somewhat decent #so not having my pencil is putting me in a spiral #one is coming today in the mail #😭😭😭😭😭😭 #first world problems

This post goes out to the folks at Discord for being amazing at ruining the platform they spent years perfecting. They're doing such a great job they've now managed to ruin the desktop app with a UI change! Sure, this one might be oddly specific, but now, if you use Windows accessibility settings to increase the system font size, it screws up the channel list now. This has made it to where split view no longer functions properly, since Discord is taking up over half the screen minimum. FML

I absolutely love Ed's shorter beard but I really miss Stede's S1 hair.

The duality is killing me.
