Bread Day

The Archive is reading stories, the Promptcast is reading stories. I have to keep an ear out for diverse alarms because I am baking more bread today.

The new cool pack means that I can to ten minutes icing my ankle. Less time on distraction activities, more time for the other things. Theoretically.

I'll see how I go.

The Archive is about to commence. I shall be working on my prompts today, as well as the daily dosage of offerings.

My ability to procrastinate footnote checking knows no bounds...

I have issues with my heel today. On the advice of my physio, I'm leaning on a broomstick as an ersatz hiking pole. All so I don't do more damage to my stupid knotted shoulder. So I have Miss Chaos making the next set of dough while I focus on baking the last batch of dough.

One of my prompts ["Problem Child"] has been elected next week's story prompt. I think I might make two tales out of it.

Yay.

My old

We're down to our last loaf of bread so I shall be informing Miss Chaos that she's making the next batch. That will be happening later in the day. When she's conscious.

Meanwhile, I have Patreon stuff to post, a story to write, and an ankle to ice every two freaking hours.

And thanks to Trackbear, I now know that I've written almost 13K words for various creative works in less than a firkin week. I had NO IDEA I was that

My sandals have fallen undone for the last firkin time, so now I'm on the hook for getting another set. And also attempting to find them is going to involve wearing the shit set because they're the only set I have.

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

I also have bread in progress so I may even wait until the first loaf of the day is done and the next is

The Archive is not streaming this week. The Promptcast is. Meanwhile, I'm allegedly working on my main offerings.

I shall endeavour to have some play time today. Rather than diving wholesale into shiny and spicy fanfic. I have no idea how well that's going to work, though.

The fanfic is fun... but not play

In the FuckMyLife Files, the stand mixer that has done excellent service since my smols were SMOL... has decided to give up the ghost. So my future travels

I'm not good at making time off. Despite my plans to take things easier: I have a video to arrange, reviews to do, and the mandatory offerings.

No pressure.

Only the reviews help my collab partner increase their odds of getting on the stream. The videos increase my odds of people enjoying my stuff and journeying down the rabbit hole about me, and the offerings increase the chances of gaining a vocal fandom.

They're all good things to aim for.

And so

The Archhive is not reading anything today. Neither is the Promptcast. Because it's Halloween in the US. Where they are.

So I don't have a 4-6 hour distraction from my normal offerings.

I've signed up for QueryTracker at long blipping last, and I now have a fresh PLN for pitching my books. I can seek out agents willing to look at my stuff and go through them alphabetically. I can even use it to pitch.

Starting tomorrow.

I now have new glasses,

I'm paying for the other half of my new glasses, today. As soon as the place is open. I'm also wrangling a double batch, today. Baking one set of dough, and making the next.

My videos are back in my work cycle, so that's going to be interesting to work back in to what passes for my routine.

The ankle needs a brace, today. My bad for pushing it too far after Physio. On the other hand, I had to test it

I have bread on, today. Can't really delay it without consequences. Alas for my plans, we are also out of cordial and that's going to need a dash up to the shops to get more.

Which means I have to wait until I have money 'cause I've currently run out. The joys of feeding a household when everything runs dry.

I think I shall wait until the account fills up before I sally forth. It'll give me time to get the bread

I've had technical issues involving graphics drivers, this morning. Issues that involved the destruction of my precious tab hoard. I'll rebuild as I need and hope for the best.

Today is the first day I'm operating without my ankle bracer, with a new strengthening exercise to get it back up to approaching normal. And maybe even stronger.

I can hope.

Without the bracer, icing my stupid ankle absorbs less time. Yay. Which also means less time to sit and write other things.

The fam's on our last loaf, so I'm beginning the process of two batches. Yay. I've published the video for today, so all I need fret about is the daily offerings.

Especially since I got half a chapter in at 1AM.

Insomnia for the win? Maybe?

I think I might prep for Wednesday by taking screencaps of the Murderbot Critters(tm) and attempting to do some armchair xenobiology. Maybe including the more obvious xenofauna as well.

It depends how well I feel

In between bread and icing my ankle, as well as the offerings as per usual, I am removing myself from TubeTube and setting up other things.

I'll be shifting all my TubeTube content to my Peertube. Except for the story videos, as they're already in my Peertube. My miscellany channel will get my music videos and attempt at Minecraft let's plays.

In the end, all that will be left is a (hopefully) brief video explaining why I'm shutting up shop.

I'll be

We're down to one loaf, so I'm beginning the three day journey to make four more loafs. The good news being that a batch lasts a week. Slightly longer than a week. The dubiously good news being that, because of my grinchy ankle, I can actually be home to do all of it.

What I consider to be the bad news is that the established precedence might not hold.

I'm staying off YouTube today, as protest against the bloody stupid age gating
