Medical

Turns out there aren’t many more good options for me medically. I won’t overshare, just say that there’s a couple of things left to try but after that I could be in a bad spot. 😐

Melbcat was sulking in the other room because I moved while she was sleeping on me and then gave her medication. There were literal grumbles.

I’m trying Runescape during downtime. OSRS gets spoken of highly but something happened where the game got stuck as a tiny window and was jittering… uninstall. The newer Runescape is more playable but I don’t really like the controls.

Having to constantly manually re-orient the camera to whatever direction you’re going (with clicks on a legend or using keys awkwardly on the same side as your mouse hand) isn’t the best. It’s so clunky and gets very old. I really prefer WASD controls and hope there’s some add-on to allow that. So much clicking to move on top of everything else is hard on my wrist. And not being able to move with the map open is also really annoying. You’re constantly having to stop to reorient yourself. Also usable items don’t stack in your bag. This means constant trips back to the banks and the travel stone or whatever I have doesn’t take me near one. I really hope a larger bag can be crafted or I can get a better location.

It’s a good game but involves a fair bit of unnecessary faffing around. That can become a bit of a chore to the point I’d rather just lie back down and rest.

May I suggest a 3/4 sized guitar? And also JustinGuitar has a lot of free resources.

  I’ve found some cool mini ones intended for travel, it’s just… I’m so constantly exhausted and lazy and probably wouldn’t be able to stick with putting the work in. So would be spending money on something only to abandon it and have the item become clutter 😔

    boredom is very tiring in itself, it means your mind is desperate for activity, has no activity and yet is being attentive
    
    do something that is not boring and makes you feel good about yourself
    
    so many hugs

    Thanks. Easier said than done but hopefully I find something that doesn’t feel like a chore

It would be another instrument but bass ukeleles are really fun. Not the baritones that are just a bit bigger, proper bass ukeleles with the big rubbery strings. They’re easy to fret and sound nice.

And they pack a punch when plugged in since they have a built in pickup. Size doesn’t matter and you could fit in the mix live with the right gear

  They look cool, I’m just not wanting to spend money and won’t be performing (learning may even be a stretch)
