Breakfast was delayed this morning because someone used the last of the olive oil and didn't inform me about it. So I had to send Chaos up to the local Woolies for some more. Turns out Woolies overcharges for oil.
If Mayhem complains, he can go down to Aldi and get a big tin on his own money.
I have things to send out to my Patrons today, the offerings to gift fresh to my audience, and perhaps some free time to claim for pay.
If I don't get rolling on that now, I won't get my treat time.
Wraithvine and anyone ze believes will help with the task (possibly meaning no one) must infiltrate a ball and rescue a prince from the clutches of his evil (yet, alas, overwhelmingly popular and powerful) Queen Mother. All without being recognized or exposed during the escape, and before the clock strikes one in the morning, for some reason… -- Deathshead419

At least I have more ready for the day, I guess.
The Promptcast has two casts so I've dipped off the Archive reads to watch the Promptcast, and I still have the last week to catch up on. I aim to be doing that today.
I don't mind getting stories out of order.
Meanwhile, drawing friend is still

Good news, bad news, good news... Good news, the gun still had ammo, and she was smart enough to pick it up with gloved hands. If the occupiers were looking for clues, they wouldn't find a hint of

And I have reverted to writing just a little of ADT first thing on waking up. It keeps things moving forward. And increases my chances of having a chapter complete for my Patrons.
My story shall happen in between paying attention to the streams.
The good news is that there is now a fix to

He begs Hir to deliver his letter. But, a dying man is not necessarily a righteous one, not all treasons are unjustified. Wraithvine must decide if fulfilling the promise is correct, and ze does not have much time… -- Deathshead419

At least I can get one to stay on if I wear the ankle brace. Sort of.

I also need a mouse to make my lappy work because the trackpad has decided it doesn't like me. I have what I call "Random Clickitis" that calls functions/things I had never wanted. Often while I'm typing.

It had been a simple enough plan of sorts. Assassinate the new Earl, gain the favour of the old Earl, and perhaps that of the favoured son. It may even gain them the favour of their liege lord for removing an obvious problem. Others who knew of their plot insisted that no good

No pressure.
The catio is fixed, at last. Necessitating a trip to Bunnings to get the aviary clips, but it was done yesterday afternoon and the cats are once more secure indoors. Huzzah.

The thing with running was... you had to keep running. Stop and relax, and they would catch up with you. You learned a thousand ways to stay out of sight. You learned a hundred ways to avoid notice. And you had to learn what was safe to eat more than once. Especially if you wanted to survive for one more meal.

It's aviary clips. I've bought them via click and collect and will collect them when prompted to do so.
In about four hours. When the full heat is on the day.
So my options are: Wait until the day cools off and do that, or... wait until early the following morning

One can wander very far on assorted quests during twenty years. Especially if a few Dragons or deities decided to relocate Wraithvine to different continents.
