Title: Getting things done
Date: Mar 10, 2026

|~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~|

  In the last little while...

* We've been slowly selling off my late grandmother's old 
  collectables to people who want them.
* We've got new shop lights to put up.
* We've got a new shovel and rake so I can work on the
  yard problems.
* I got a USB-powered AA/AAA battery charger to use with
  my solar battery bank if I need to.
* We got Sildrae a new mattress and mattress topper to
  sleep on so he can get rested to do DoorDashing while
  looking for a more consistent job.
* I got a mattress pad for my futon to sleep on.
* I found my vlogging camera, and just need to find a
  proper mic for it.
* We got Calyo's shelves and storage lamp finally put
  into their room.
* As a result of Calyo's shelves being put up, we have
  more room in the living room to get things moved into
  place, and for Sildrae to get some storage area for his
  stuff to clear out a workspace in his room.
* Both of my bookshelves are up.
* I'm donating a good chunk of my books to make room for
  tomes that I plan on reading, rather than decorations.
* Both of my closet doors have been removed, and awaiting
  bead curtains to replace them. [^0]
* We got a filing box to hold onto paperwork and such
  that need to be filed.
* I have a new paper blind up in my window that's not
  quite as damaged, and a working replacement screen
  that I can use when the weather allows me to open it.
* I have a new-old shelf for my closet to help organize
  things in there.
* I decorated my headsets and speaker a little. Gonna
  get more things to put on them later.
* I have an actual working pen for the first time in
  almost five months.
* I'm starting to take notes in physical notebooks a bit
  more often.
* I might have a new layout for my room to better use the
  space.
* The massive TV we never plan on using is out in the
  garage, so I can finally clean the coffee table my late
  uncle made that it was sitting on.
* I have a small deep fryer for myself to use, since
  Sildrae loves to fry things with beef/pork inside.[^1]
* I've discovered that I likely have cholesterol problems,
  but having family that went through it before tells me
  what I need to do to counteract the effects (including
  getting bad cholesterol down).
* Got my desktop mic set up for recording, though it
  requires a USB sound card with built-in preamp.
* I've got the nice table lamp one of my mates gave me
  working again, though it could really use a new power
  cable. Maybe something more easily replaceable.
* I'm designing my own bookmarks for the first time, and
  having fun with it.
* Slowly starting to learn Kandi crafting thanks to
  tutorials from Mood Kandi[0]. Also looking forward to
  part two of the Therian Kandi Mask tutorial from
  Circus Kandi[1].
* Making efforts to move my YouTube subscriptions to my
  RSS reader, so that I can still enjoy things without
  the algorithm putting slop in front of me that will
  hurt my mental health.
* Making it a habit to download videos I want to watch
  instead of breaking out my phone to do so.
* I'm seeking out more indie websites to keep an eye on.
* I'm starting to read the Wings of Fire series.

This has been a good month so far.

[^0]: One of the doors is ruined, and its respective frame
      needs replacement as well.
[^1]: I have Alpha-Gal Syndrome, and despite it being only
      a minor allergic reaction in most cases, it's still
      a danger.
