# Daily Updates #

I've drafted Mr GG a letter and feel loads better (it's been an emotionally rough day and tough week).

I slept in (positive); am losing weight (whoop); went for a bike ride with a friend along the sea in glorious weather and had a good chat; spontaneously bought a mountain bike off him (great deal and been wanting one); got advice on mud guards for my road bike (exec function overcome); talked to someone about shelving (only taken 2+ years;>); and arranged a morning run cos otherwise i'd mope in bed.

So a hard day emotionally, but won it over.

completed  30min meditation. frost on my garden.

went shopping down town the shops are bunged !

i love boring sunday, dishes and laundry )

Mucking around with Opencore, or rather it's mucking around with me.  A little bit out of my depth tbh, I usually am with these things, just about managing to muddle my way to a working system through dogged perseverance and luck more than skill.  I'm not a complete n00b to the general concept mind you, having been successfully using Clover for several years now, dabbled with Chimera before that and even iBoot probably a decade or more ago.  My current hackintosh (upon which I am typing this very second) has been fully working since Mojave was released in 2018 and it hasn't missed a beat, so not a complete waste of time!  Good exercise for the grey matter on those days where I've got nothing better to do.

I'll be heading out tomorrow to hopefully pick up a shiny new Nvidia GPU to replace my tired old GTX 980 ti.  Anyone who follows tech will know about the situation with scalpers and the near total lack of availability.  I managed to snag one locally at a reasonable enough price.  Ok I paid a bit more than retail, but yeah, retail is only useful when they actually have a product to deliver.  And in any case, the few retailers who can get a hold of stock have themselves been jacking up prices, due to demand they can pretty much ask what they want.  Never let a good crisis go to waste I suppose.  And at the moment it's like a convergence of crises with everything that's going on in the world, a total *** show lol.

Slept in today. All the shops in my parish were out of Bulletins for the Chapel. But I attended an online Mass.

I attended the Zoom Quiz - Pointless-themed - but the Quizmaster was all messed up. It was five individuals; as there wasn't enough for two separate teams. I got three, or four, pointless answers.

put up outside xmas lights  it was very difficult but they're up  the wind last night had blown stuff everywhere . planted some trees not sure if they are ivy or privet i'll see in spring I guess

I wouldn't have enough self-esteem to stand up for myself.

Everyone in my village knows me. If I'm out, at that time, I'm a sitting target.

i know ! ,, I hadnt eaten all day 

4 pasties! I did 1 1/2 vegan sausage rolls once from Pound Bakery but had to stop cos my tummy felt a bit sick.

I'm not sure what the problem is being away whilst selling. Can't the agent just say "the owners away we'll speak to you next week?"

I have expressed interest at staying at a Hostel in Belfast for a week in January; once my home and land are up for sale. While I do have an agent people may contact; Culchies can be very sleight-of-hand whenever it comes to land. (it's part of our history)

eat 4 pasties. now watching "suckerpunch" on netflix .

wind is blowing things about. my garden.

My mum said she had snow this morning in fermanagh.

plan is to put up external xmas lights tomorrow or do some more work tomorrow if weather is bad

I've booked Christmas!

I'm going 23-28 to a youth hostel, and my bubble mate is joining me for the last two nights. I'm still a bit nervous about being alone, but the pubs are open, and I'll do some outdoor stuff and get some nice food and things. I'm still emotionally quite wobbly over MrGG today, but this has improved things. Phew.

This morning, I took my brother with me to sign legal forms; regarding our family's estate. Just one more form to sign, next week, and we'll be sucking diesel.

While the house and land are up for sale, I wish to stay the Hell away from here. Too many wanting to twist my arm. I enquired about a week's stay, next month, at a Hostel in Belfast. They say, "Tell them to contact your agent!" But that's much easier said in practice than theory. People here are just too cute.

I'm counting the seconds until 5 pm; when I can spend a bit for Bandcamp Friday - PayPal reasons; to make sure I get my PIP payment first. It's about time I did something fun.

It's nippy outside. Blustery and wet, too. Thank God I drove to and from town safely.

Glad you're getting some work satisfactions

I took the day off sick.

I felt bad cos i work for a not profit, but i think it was the right thng to do. I'm getting on top of a few small things, and I slept til 10! And importantly i think i am pulling together a plan for christmas. There's affordable rooms going at a few youth hostels over christmas so think i'll book 4-6 nights in a nearby one. I'll go fell running, and do some logged mountain walks for my outdoor qualification, shop a little, get some new trail shoes, and get a friend maybe to come up for day walks 27th/28th. Oh, and go to some cosy pubs with a book and the paper. I think it'll work! I was scared being on my own for 3-4 days for the first time, but will be ok now i've a plan.

getting the sticking bugs closed one by one with the developers help ,,,,, FINALLY !,,,,,,, teamwork (NT/autistics) rules  

Positive, I found a hostel room for £30 a night over christmas. So i have a potential plan to go away and pretend it's not happening! Might be hard, but think it'll be easier than being at home.

Bog, I think some tooth has come out. It's not hurting but it doesn't look good. Looks like decay around an old teenage filling. Dunno what detists are up to but I hope I can get seen.
