#PastebinMonday 12/27/2021 Literally Pulling Teeth Edition

'Sup, doods! (I think I'm more comfortable with this for the time being.)

I am re-learning that getting myself to focus on an administrative task is like pulling teeth. I get bored easily with the same, repetitive, uninteresting stuff (Puzzle League speedruns are interesting to me so they don't count), but I have too many distractions at my fingertips to use them as background noise. That said, I am in the process of revamping and reorganizing my stream layout to look less cluttered. I am moving all of my streaming tools from StreamLabs to StreamElements. That includes remaking all of the commands for the new bot as well as remaking all of the alerts that I had previously disabled. How do I 'git gud' at this streaming thing without embracing the memes? I expect to be back and better than ever in 2022... in more ways than one.

So many people make the simile of something being like pulling teeth, but don't actually pull teeth or have had their teeth pulled.  At this moment, I have had two teeth pulled. Come Thursday, I will literally have another 15 teeth pulled on my way to having top dentures. I said I would get my teeth taken care of after the Pokémon Puzzle League speedrun tournament and I am sparing little expense to do so. Unfortunately, this also means that I have less time available to me to get stuff done. With that in mind, I will not be streaming at all this week. I'm gonna get me taken care of, if only a little bit. Make sure to take care of yourselves, okay?

I THINK I will be on Tetris Attack when I get back? I'm not sure yet. Got to prepare stuffs for the tournament like always and playing the game will probably get me in the right mindset.

Also, now that I think about it, what does this mean for the next salt compilation? I honestly don't know. It will depend on how I feel after the surgery. If I feel okay, I will get through the rest of my footage for the month. Well, there is still that focus problem. We'll play that by ear, then, shall we?

That’s my life story for the week. Later, doods!
