Well, it's been a week, but we're still doing circus training.

Come join us for a gentle chat, all we ask is that you try to leave the "real world" outside, and if anyone asks for a topic change, please change the topic.

Update, wallboard is cut to appropriate sizes and has been moved upstairs, to be screwed into where it goes when we next get do #thisOldClownHouse work.

Tidied up after that process.

Laundry is most of the way done, still need to fold the clean and dry clothes and put them away.

So, taking a short break before doing some rainbow painting. :)

Today is laundry, cutting pieces of wallboard for #ThisOldClownHouse , and painting some rainbows.

Trying to get back into my swing of things. Refusing to let the state of the world knock me off my game any more than it has.

So, has anyone compiled a list of films in which Nazis get punched?

Last night I watched Bedknobs and Broomsticks because I needed to see a witch make a suit of armor punch a Nazi in the face.

There are plenty of things wrong with that film. But it hit my checkboxes of

and

And was soothing to me.

Ok, things are rough right now, but we're still gonna have a #circusInPlace chat.

Please leave the big and scary world outside, be gentle with people and respectful if anyone needs a topic change for any reason (these are always the core ideas of this chat, but I wanted to restate them because I am personally fragile right now, and I know I'm not alone in that)

So we're gonna have a chill chat while the clowns practice their skills and move their bodies. We'd love for you to join us there!

I hear that there's been snow in both Texas and Florida.

So, now I'm unsure where hell is. I mean, it's clearly frozen over..

Reading "The Minimalist Woodworker" by Vic Tesolin, and just about started crying when he recommends against measuring with numbers and using math, recommending instead a referential system, marking things off the piece directly. Avoiding math-induced errors.

I like this book a lot and will be looking for more guides that focus on the concepts it does.

Update:

[#]ThisOldClownHouse has hot water again!

Update:

Stayed up till.. just about 9pm last night before I realized I'd maxxed myself out.

A new water heater was installed here at #ThisOldClownHouse, but turned out to have a malfunction, so we're actually more without hot water than we were previously.

Woke up at 3-ish this morning and couldn't get back to sleep, no idea what that's about!

Today's goal is to stay awake to get the call in which the plumbers tell us when they'll be back with the replacement part. (which may or may not happen today)

Said part is apparently sitting in someone's basement, about 2 hours north-ish of us, and can be installed without even needing to use any tools. (The case would need to be closed up using a phillips screwdriver, but the actual part is connected via clips.)

I am exceptionally frustrated that it would almost certainly be warranty voiding for me to pick it up and install it myself.

One day I will learn how to keep a consistent schedule.

In the mean time, I guess I shall keep pulling all nighters when contractors are expected during .. what's that phrase.. "business hours"?

I woke up at 5:30pm Tuesday the 14th, and hopefully will get to go back to bed sometime before that hour on Wednesday the 15th

I did just take a nap, hopefully that'll keep me from getting too loopy :D

If anyone is looking for an #artprompt

I'd love to see this image:

Tweed jacket w/elbow patches wearing Professor type man, who looks like he should be in a library with all the soft brown tones, that aesthetic.

That guy, standing in the middle of a cyberpunk dystopia setting. That harsh greens and/or violet lighting and intense blue/black shadows, probably raining etc.

He's just looking mildly bewildered.

alternatively: he's just looking like he's going about his business, and the environment he's in has no impact on who he is.

I'm not in the position at this moment to commission anyone with this, and I don't think I currently have the skill in any image making medium to pull this off.

(please don't take this prompt and use some AI generator with it, or at the very least don't link back to this with it. I don't want to see that shit.)

Because why not make something while doing a sound check?

15 day supply of meds acquired 🎉

Written by Liam on 2025-01-03 at 14:33

They did let me know that they'd given a code for the pharmacy to fill a temporary supply, so unless something else bizarre happens, I will be picking up my meds shortly. Which is good enough for today.

I'll just have to check back with the insurance in a couple of days to make sure the name change went through.. again.. and then ask my doc to resend the prior auth paperwork so that I don't have to deal with this for another year. (I should probably make a note to self that this may come back up next year though)

update:

Prior auth did not go through because my insurance has reverted the name change on my account

..for the second or third time now.

Things I learned about the #makershour crew today:

And here's me with a rage-grumble, again, at the fact that my insurance requires prior auth for my atomoxetine.

That they require it is annoying.

That they only require it for patients above the age of 17 is rage inducing.

ADHD IS NOT EXCLUSIVELY A CHILDHOOD CONDITION!!!!!!!

I'm so mad. I don't think there's any way for me to file any kind of formal complaint about the issue. So I'm just stuck raging.

Worse still, due to how bad the automated communication processes at my pharmacy are (and, admittedly, my lack of checking in on my supply level), I have a day of meds left right now as I try to get this sorted out.
