The punctuation has made things more confusing.
It is hard to get around to stuff......with, you know, looking after Mistress Chaotica.
Stuff...is a general term. You could say ...things...or ....jobs...instead.

The verb pattern in this instance is almost certainly ”to stuff sth with sth” given that the context is about mending a hole in the wall.

”To stuff sth with sth” means to roughly fill sth with sth so that the thing is filled tightly.

e.g. ”He stuffed the hole in the wall with straw” = he filled hole in the wall roughly and tightly with straw.

In the given context, ”stuff” has nothing to do with the meaning of ”things” or ”possessions”.
