Busy Busy

I have bread in progress and MeMum needs tech support. Fun times ahead.

Here's the PLN:

• Get myself presentable for public appearance [done]
• Feed the cats
• Prep the bread process for the kids to take over
• Wake kids and notify them of same
• Make sure I have everything I need
• Ice my ankle
• Leave for MeMum's

I shall make certain that all is in place including a full tank.

As is always the case when I'm on an extended Leyland's Tour, there may or may not be a story today. It depends entirely on how much the day takes out of me by the time I get back.

Onwards to the rest of the list.

My prescription for the preventer has expired, and I need more preventer. So today includes a visit to the medicos and a subsequent visit to a pharmacy.

It's going to get EXPENSIVE. And it's already been expensive, this week. I needed to stock up.

Keeping track of it all might break my heart, give me headaches, and so on... but it will also help me understand where or when I have economy issues.

Figuring out a decent strategy is key. At least

The Archive is going. The Promptcast is about to commence. I have starter in the incubator and the kids set for wrangling dough.

I can only hope it all goes well.

I have found a way to supercharge my coffee. The downside being that it should only be taken in the morning.

IDK about making myself iced coffee in the AM but those frozen cubes of coffee are the way to supercharge caffeine.

Might be an idea to stay awake on the

I need to check my footnotes in the anthology. And make sure I have the cover done properly. Get the dingdang thing out before February.

The Archive is having its backup reads real soon now. I have a prompt to consider for the Promptcast.

One thing at a time. I shouldn't have too many footnotes to check this year. I'm just procrastinating like fuck about them.

Story whenever the mood sweeps me to get onto that.

Let's get rattling.

I have one eye on my (decaying) phone so that I know when I should take off for the medicos in the middle of Brisbane. Tomorrow, I'm offski for a Physio appointment. At least it's not too far to wander for that.

BUT I also have to wander into the zombie hordes in order to acquire a small something-something for Beloved.

And I need petrol. Bleh.

'Tis the season to be expensive, alas.

We will survive this. It just feels like I

So... my laptop is dying and I know it. My fam has become aware. Even a friendo on the interwebs knows that when I use a laptop, I have to use an attached keyboard with the loud tikkatakka. And even that has moments of fail.

Meanwhilst... I got logged out of my Auspost account and I can't remember the email I used for it.

I got the second batch of crimbo bikkies going off today. We have some experiments in order today,

The backup reads are on later today, I have collated all the ingredients necessary to make the crimbo ginger bikkies. I just need to wait for a few things. Like for the butter to thaw.

At least there's loads of eggs so I don't need to worry about that for a bit.

I can hope.

They've started into the new bread, so I'm glad I got flour for the next bread. Yay.

I'm waiting for the butter to soften before I start

Mayhem ran through the eggs in the effort to make mayonnaise with the wrong oil (: So my agenda today includes an emergency shopping trip for even more eggs, some bulk olive oil, and more firkin wholemeal because the fam is definitely powering through my bread supply.

I may be cooking Crimbo bikkies and bread if I'm not careful. I'll see how I go, closer to the teens of the months.

Fingers crossed.

Meanwhile, I am attempting to do the things I need

Miss Chaos needs more slobwear. And hefty instructions on how to make her clothing last. Maybe re-enforced with some parental haranguing.

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.

Adorable is trying to help me out by extreme remote - she's in Melbourne with Beloved doing a meet&greet to organise

Breaking News

Pippi has figured out how to escape the fucking catio. Part of my ongoing mission now is to figure out how she gets out and what we can do to fix that shit.

So I gotta put on clothes, go to Costco, and get another slab of eggs at least.

THEN there's detective work on the catio to figure out.

So... whatever is happening online today? It's happening whenever.

It was nasty, yesterday, and after getting so far, I decided to stay home instead of dropping off Miss Chaos and soldiering on. I have physio today, so that's an excuse to continue the Leyland's Tour and get all the things we need to keep the house going.

It promises to be just as nasty today, alas. But we still need stuff and things.

I've not been feeling the video production of late. Progress is happening slowly, there. I might have something

We're almost out of eggs. We're certainly out of bacon. I need flour and things because the kids are tearing through my bread.

So that's part of today's agenda.

I have to think up what I'm ranting about today.

I'm reviewing Archive tales before the time comes to launch on the Leyland's tour. Just so I can get my points in to be sure I have a chance to get read.

And I'm keeping track of my words now to see how

I did my video prep before commencing, and I already did some 1AM writing because I have once again fucked up my sleep schedule.

At least I got a chapter finished. Twenty-six chapters to go.

I got some things to share with my Patrons, yay.

But first, I need to make one more thing to entertain my Patrons with, and that shall be the Podcast prompt. Since I still can't fucking figure out the Archive prompt. There's still time. I will get

I'm getting things done by slow degrees. I'm trying to remain focussed on the things that need doing, but getting distracted by the things I'm having fun doing.

Same old same old.

Remembered the email system with MeMum. Forgor I was driving Mayhem to work this morning.

I'm sure it's stress.

I have the flash fiction to write today, the Archive fic to at least try to concoct, and a rant about something to think up and consequently write.

And I am

It's my Beloved's birthday today. We have a dinner planned to celebrate the day.

I have a collab to work on, the daily tale, the thing for Promptcast, the thing for the Archive, and technically three fanfics in the works.

I will be posting things whenever I can, but ability to can might just be out of my reach. My collab partner and I can get distracted by the drop of a topic.

While we're yatting on down rabbit holes, I shall
