Another week begins

And I'm not feeling fine. I'm having issues with sleep, not getting enough rest, weird active/anxious dreams, and either waking up before the sun, or after 10 snoozes. *sigh* I'm also on emotional eggshells. NCIS watching with Amythest yesterday gave me a small breakdown (one of the character's Dad died), and today while watching 'Return of the Jedi' the ending celebrations had me in tears as well. I really am starting to think that this Cthulhumas will be a huge emotional rollercoaster. Not sure how best to deal with it yet. Probably will just have to muddle through it til Boxing Day.

Besides having all the feels, I finally made it to the store to do real shopping. Of course, having the brain of a gopher, I bought hotdogs, but forgot to get hotdog buns. So I'll have to make another stop. I did a mega load of dishes, got mail, and I'm slowly picking up the clutter around Château Innsmouth. I need to finish putting together my Secret Shoggoth package, since it's due tomorrow. Procrastination, thy name is Vulpine. That being said, said shoggie is going to get some cool stuff. Probably will spend some extra Innsmouth Gold to get it shipped 2nd day or something similar, to make sure it gets up North in time.

I also have an idea for swapping stuff around here at Château Innsmouth's network. Basically I've decided that Cthylla, the gaming rig, isn't used for squat. And Nyogtha, while working decently, would probably make a better file server. So, at some point in the future I'll swap them around. Cthylla has 6 available SATA ports, so I can add drives to her and migrate the multimedia when I have an income again, and I can mount the drives from Nyogtha via NFS for now to play the media. All nice and functional. And when I get around to upgrades, Cthylla has a HDMI port and the proc/mem/video card to play BluRay (in theory). I was planning on using Cthylla for a future primary workstation, but looking at what I can get affordably for another used Thinkstation, I'll probably go that route in the future. I like Lenovo, and rarely have issues. And moving Cthylla to media box = no spending of money. So I can sate the tinker urge without spending money I don't have to spend ATM. Not sure when I'll start the process, we'll see what else I get done first.

Not much else. Need to start pimping out the resume, since while it isn't perfect, I need to find something soon. Not just for financial reasons, but I need to do more than just rattle around here. Motivation, I need more external motivation. Tonight will be leftover potato soup from Saturday for dinner. And more chores. So many chores...oh well, keeps me busy. Ok, catch you all later. *waves a tentacle*
