So. We have a cyclone about to smack into my neck of the woods. I have given yard tidying assignments to the spawn, I have a mission to go forth and acquire essentials. In this case, paper, tape, a tarp or two, and kibble for the cats.
I'll pick up some extra meat for just in case. Best to be sure than sorry.
After I return from my acquisitions, I'll be doing all the doomsday prepping I can before I settle down for some fiction.
Wish me luck. I think I'll need it.

Time management is a lack-of-skill of mine :D
Four hours plus six hours plus wandering time would have equalled me putting the dough to rest at somewhere close to two fucking AM.
I put the dough to rest after the first fold. I'm doing the the rest of the three folds today, and then the first loaf after that. We will see how I feel

Yes.
"And your fever is almost 102."
Yes.

I can't put it to rest in the fridge until it's done with the fourth fold, and there's six hours after the starter's done incubating. Which takes four hours. So that's ten hours hence. More or less.
I'm getting to bed closer to midnight. Yikes.
At least I had a nap after VTTRPG.
We have a new player - who got bit by the newly werebat Kobold Rogue.

But Tyr doesn't like it when people use their name without following the actual tenants. And it's time the Everdark adventurers had MORE than just one full sized dungeon to explore.

I might have to find her some variety of McJob in order to appreciate that learning programming is the easier thing to do.
I'll ring APM if I have to.
Then I'll look into online courses to teach me how to properly use GameMaker and how much they might firkin cost.

Clothing has had messages behind it since one person decided to do something a little different with their garments. Or, as it may be, their decorations. Who was the first to create style, and who was the first to begin fashion. All that is certain is that the young have been using it to annoy adults since before records became available.
It's

The one place I did find operates solely in NSW and Victoria, focuses exclusively on children and mentions homeschooling a little too much for my personal comfort.
And there's literally nowhere else.
Any other searches for programming education and ASD just leads me to job offerings and education opportunities

It wasn't just Elves, Wudsgaad, and Brauniin that came into Mundis Mortalidae in the beginning of the world. Of course they came with magic, but there are other things native to Nanogh that found their way through. Many monsters, and things that go bump in the night.

I cannot count the number of thumb drives MeMum has lost. Giving it something big and visible might help there. Might.
But I have to wait until the pay goes through before I head offski for

"Listen," said the AI guide. "You're big tough Deathworlders, and wish to prove it. There's other Deathworlders, here, and the temptation is very strong to test how Deathworlder they all are. There's arenas for that."
The tourist group grumbled a little, but seemed to accept the limit on their usual behaviour.

So yeah, I'm a little tired today.
But I also know I can catch up on anything I missed yesterday and that includes recording some chapters for the Patreon! Woo!

So I therefore suspect that I may not have time to get any of my expected offerings out onto the interwebs. If that happens, I'll have a grand catch-up session on
