I have a physio appointment today, so my priority is getting things organised (tm) before it's time to skedaddle to that.
I have chapters to read and record, the usual offerings, and maybe catching up with Weird Writer Wednesday.
At least I've made a start on the recordings.
Let's see how far I can go.
I have been reminded to do my wrist stretchies by a persistent pain in my right wrist. At least the container bite from packaging rice has healed. But I still need to wear the thumb splint because nerve janglies.
It's time to take off. BRB.
I return.
Even the physio can't figure out what the hell I did to myself. I shall continue with rest and being very careful with how I handle the household taps.
I also have to keep today's

I'm good at juggling finances.
When I get back, that's when my offerings shall occur. Which means I can focus on being Prepared(tm) for social time
Read more »I need to get more supplies for the fam. I actually left the house to get meds, today. Considering the backup reads, the plans with Beloved for Tuesday... and some in-fam tech issues... I'm going to be a busy bean this coming week.
Fun times.
I have my second loaf in the incubator and baking today. Yay. I forgot to turn on the incubator so I have to add another hour after the current timer runs out.
Whoops.

I have no idea what, if anything, is going to get done for my offerings, today.
Yoiks and away.

The plus side is that she finally has the other side of her insurance claim finalised. Just one more room to go and all is theoretically well.

Fingers crossed, all the measures put in so far will prevent

Everything output-related is delayed today because Firefox obliterated my tab hoard. I have the barest necessities back, and that's a start. But damnit, it hurts every time.
And it still firkin crashes my compy when I try to upload a pic using Firefox -_-
Everything I post that wants an image is

I have found a video tutorial for pop-up text windows for GameMaker, and I will be using that for a default error message first.
Then putting that into each and every function call so that the WIP will not have any errors for
Read more »Since the Christmas chainsaw has the exact sound profile of a toy, we're relatively free to go out pruning at the crack of dawn as well as the afternoon.
We were doing quite well this morning, until the battery ran flat.
We will get more branches cut down this afternoon. I've signed up the spawn to help out and spell me on the pruning work. Theoretically, we can get the branches away from the fence a lot faster than if it was

As soon as all the shops are open, of course.
My attempt to get the printer working was an outright failure. Hashtag, I tried.
But I also got all the buttons done, so my GameMaker time will be in placing them on the boards, and then learning how to make each function do what I want it to

Step one - finding a small wooden bread board for cheap - has been a bit of a stumbling block. If I get my nonsense out early today, I shall try some other venues to acquire the necessary materials.
