Busy Busy

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 won't at the moment. I have savings. I can dip into them for this.

Given how much folderol is happening, I'm halfway tempted to post Seasonal Seasonings on my other outputs this week and leave it like that until next week.

It. Is. H-E-C-T-I-C this week.

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

My site's back up and my backlog's taken care of, but now Peak'd is down for maintenance. Huzzah.

I usually do my prompted work there, so we might be high and dry for twenty-four hours.

If so, there shall be twofer whenever normal services remain.

Which happens to be now. Yay. Glad to be back!

I am now offski to do the daily thing. Yay.

I'm getting my eyes checked today, and I've already packed an old set of frames in case my lenses need an upgrade. Huzzah.

I owe some stuff to Patreon, though I still don't have a terrible lot. I should throw myself at making Kdenlive work again.

The experiment with the videos should get back online. It's just a matter of having the emotional and intellectual wherewithall to hit that shit with a hammer.

The current chapter of ADT is fighting me a

I have begun prepping the pitch kits for A Devil's Tale book one. No point in pitching the rest of the six if I can't flog the other five.

I have some blurbs to brew up and the rest of it is lined up. Having a checksheet really helps get things together. Yay.

In a few hours, I'll have to put on some clothes because I am at last getting my preventer prescription. Hooray. I can also get supplies along the way.
