The twofer's delayed until tomorrow because I need to help MeMum shift heavy things and do other stuff whilst there. Petrol and such.
Which will take most of the day and a good portion of my energy. Yay.
There's time limits on the heavy lifting so I have to run fairly soon.
So. I post, I vamoose.
See you later.
It's the last day of holidays for Friendo Awesome, so we're taking her and KIABIL up to Rainbow Beach for fun times in the sun times.
Expect me to look rather red for the next couple of streams.
Speaking of streams, I won't be online for some time. There's a high chance that I might not be able to stream at all today. If that happens, there will be a twofer tomorrow.
I will not be taking my "security blanket" - aka

That's why the stream happened closer to sunset. And there's another reason it won't be happening tomorrow.
The fam is heading out with Friendo Awesome to Rainbow beach and having some fun times in Meatspace.
I fully expect to not have the wherewithall to do much more than the daily tale.
NEXT week, I shall be getting on with getting on. Fingers crossed.

Bum.
I have called my dentist and reschedule my appointment because economical offsets. I have cleaned out the catio. I have yet to feed the Starters or create The Bikkie.
I'll be doing that after the stream.
Which should be happening very,

I stayed in bed with my Beloved for a little too long today, and wound up streaming at 10AM.
Whoops.
BUT I also didn't have the 10AM curse happening to me.
We did not alter anything, but the compy failed to slow to tar and attempt to die. Huzzah. I am not going to fault it at all for surviving and defeating the curse.
I'm pretty much pointing to True Love's Kiss at this point because NOTHING ELSE DID ANYTHING.
BUT it
