i already feel the seasonal affective disorder so bad. nothing has felt enjoyable today, even my fav ever video game and my freshly ground coffee. i'm ashamed that i feel so bad when it's only been autumn for ONE week. idk what to do with the rest of it this sucks
#馃悰#i got vit d supplements and i have a light therapy lamp so i'm going to try and use those to see if that helps but blehhh#also unrelated but my plugs are sparking and crackling (loudly :D) and a few of the sockets just come right out of the wall. stupid ass fla

Hi. Hi cat. Hello. Thank you. Yes, I love you. I know you love me too, cat. Cat? Look at me. You do NOT need to affectionately headbonk me DIRECTLY IN THE JUNK AT FULL SPEED to prove you love me, ok? I already know.
#cats#what creatures they are#purring up a storm the whole damn time........#and now as i type this she's trying to knock the cord for my lamp out of the wall socket.

I love being tired because my brain will say some shit like "When we sleep our hearts still beat, our brains still send out electrical impulses to the rest of our body, we still function when we're unconscious. But you turn off a computer, everything goes still. There is no little functions afterword, no heartbeat, no little electric signals going through anywhere, it's just nothing. Is that what death is? Does our computer experience death every night? How must that feel?" And it is immediately followed up with "I don't care. Go to sleep."
#5 minutes of not sleeping after that and we start getting into shit like ''It's not a fair comparison because the computer is a tool''#''Does a lamp experience death when you unplug it? Does a light bulb die when you take it out of the socket''#''Does a fuckin windmill 'experience death' whenever the breeze calms down?''#''Does a bicycle die when someone stops pedaling it? what are you fuckin on about dude''#Pun's text Posts

Lamps.
I fucking hate lamps.
#bought a lamp - it required a cord for the armature. as in it was literally just a light-socket and a lampshade#alright. fuck me i guess. i went specifically to the lamp store that sold lamps instead and bought two lamps.#i talked with the clerk and was given the cords with the right contacts (which were sold separately ofc)#(on top of the actual lightbulbs for these types of lamps but that's whatever at this point)#came home and decided to move the one lamp i had that worked to my bedroom instead so i had good lights elsewhere#that lamp had a SLIGHTLY different contact. i'm talking like literally a difference between ''perfectly round'' to ''has a single flat side'#and my only guess for why this is might be that they've updated the contact-shape at some point in the last 30+ years?#except i had THAT EXACT SHAPE for contacts already in my apartment. so it's like... what the fuck?#then the first lamp i bought turned out to have been designed by an idiot - to the point where i had to basically discard the instructions#(i did manage to get it functioning - but i'm not going to be terribly surprised if it comes crashing down at some point)#and the second lamp i bought required a flat-head screwdriver. which is the one thing i don't have. so i can't install the cords on it#so i've bought three lamps - and the number of working lamps in my apartment has not increased at all#i feel like this should be some type of illegal - why can't the fucking lamp-industry at least standardize basic fucking contact-types?#personal stuff#rants

I finally managed to pop the shell off the base of my lamp.. comrades I might be able to save her after all!!
#this lamp is genuinely one of my favorite possessions but it's been broken since before we moved :(#but. it is a koala hugging a baby koala! it's so cute and it belonged to my mom or one of her siblings when they were kids#so it is. Pretty Old 馃槶 i was very glad to get some use out before she died#im hoping that replacing the socket will fix her.. she worked perfectly but one day she just gave out + now she doesn't turn on anymore#it's not a bulb or outlet issue so it's something with the wiring.. im just hoping it Is the socket and not something else#anyhow ive hit a wall bc it is currently 3am.. i cannot buy a new socket/base rn 馃檲#sriracha.txt

my family is fucking addicted to macgyvering and it's becoming a problem. every time something in this house breaks, instead of doing the sensible thing of replacing it or calling someone qualified to fix it, we all group around the offending object with a manic look in our eyes and everyone gets a try at fixing it while being cheered on or ridiculed by the rest.
it's a beautiful bonding activity, but the "creative" fixes have turned our house into a quasihaunted escape room like contraption where everything works, but only in the wonkiest of ways. you need a huge block of iron to turn on the stove. the oven only works if a specific clock is plugged in. the bread machine has a huge wood block just stapled to it that has become foundational to its function. sometimes when you use the toaster the doorbell rings. and that's just the kitchen.
it's all fun and games until you have guests over and you have to lay out the rules of the house like it's a fucking board game. welcome to the beautiful guest room. don't pull out the couch yourself you need a screwdriver for that, and that metal rod makes the lamp work so don't move it. it also made me a terrifying roommate in college, because it makes me think i can fix anything with enough hubris and a drill. you want to call the landlord about a leaky faucet? as if. one time my dad made me install a new power socket because we ran our of extension cords
#this post was inspired by me using a screwdriver to take the broiler off the wall because the warm water stopped working#while my dad went well there is only cables in there. who are we if we dont find our ways around some cables#damn right!!!!

I am going to lose my mind what the fuck do you mean ANOTHER HALF STRAND OF LIGHTS DIED 馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶 why couldn't they have done this BEFORE I put the new ones up. my God this is all I have. I cant. I don't care anymore I am not playing shuffle the chair around the room again. They can stay dead. Idk why I bought one single stand of colored lights anyway.
#silly me i should know it can never just be one fucking thing it has to be at least two#then tomorrow watch the other old strand of lights go so im right fucking back at square one#lamps literally arent even an option because this fuck ass house doesnt have adequate sockets

how did i not know how easy it is to rewire a lamp this is so fun
#crow.txt#lamps are pretty simple devices.. i should've figured as much but i honestly thought there'd be more to it!#i found an old hanging lamp for a STEAL on marketplace#<- marketplace has my ticket i do not spend much time there but i couldn't pass this up when they kept lowering the price#i've wanted one for ages but they're usually $100-$200 on the low end and this one is the coolest one i've EVER seen#the cord was cracked and the socket was corroded so i just got those out and ordered exact replacements#and then there was paint all over the chain somehow??? but i spent an hour cleaning all that off#and thankfully the shade is still in excellent condition!!#the outer layer needs to be glued back onto the inner layer in a couple spots but it's not stained or dented at all#i can't wait to finish the repairs!! i have another old brass lamp that needs fixing too but that's a project for another time
