Saturday, Parkrun, Birthdays, and Continuing Nonsense

I'm still adjusting technology, and getting used to things, so there's no current timetable for my popular flash fiction reads on PeerTube.

The link for that is currently right at the bottom of my links menu. When I learn how to move those around again, it will be above my YouTube link over there.

I am a terrible Parental, in that I completely forgot about Chaos' birthday, yesterday. Made it up with some Steam gift cards, and there's a dinner at Outback Stakehouse tonight. Cheers, Beloved. Trust my wife to help me remember the important things. Love you, babe <3

Anyway. I must get my offerings done in four hours, so I will be pumping up the binaural beats for concentration of creativity and making offerings at warp seven.

Story first, natch. All happening soon.

Tuesday, Patreon, Deliveries, Shopping, etc.

I owe some stuff to Patreon. I owe some offerings to y'all today. I should be recording five more chapters and that should be going up on Patreon too. I should be focussing on all of that but the allure of relax time is calling me.

I can resist. I hope.

On the plus side, Mum has her seasonal chocolate and a half-dozen eggs, a fix to her tech, and refreshes supplies. Yay.

I have no idea what I'm going to doodle

Sunday, Unfucked A Thing(tm)

So here's my day:

  1. Wait for Beloved to be awake
  2. Commence personal prep
  3. Get invited to morning markets for brekky
  4. Cart them all there for that thing and also get some noms
  5. Beloved drives here
  6. Adorable photographs the local mob [of kangaroos]
  7. The bad patch of the catio roof is removed as Adorable and I drag out the metal spandek
  8. Find out I got the wrong fucking size of spandek. I needed to get 2.4 meters, but I got 1.8

Thursday, Physio, Spandek, and Ouchies

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

Monday, Backup Reads and Shopping PLNs

The cats need food, the fam needs protein, flavour, and little things. I have a bit of a Leyland's Tour ahead of me, which will commence as soon as the group's done with the backup reads. I have five stops this time and I can only hope I have enough money to cover our needs.

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

Sunday, Game Nights and Interesting PLNs

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.

One more hour into

Sunday, Game Night and Preparations

I am making sure the battery is charged for my Christmas chainsaw. All so I can head on down to MeMum's tomorrow and help her be rid of some overgrowth in the way of other things.

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.

just in time for the next flood season

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

Thursday, Forgotten Blog and Shopping

I need to be positive. I need to share the love. With that in mind, I will make some time to talk about my favourite Pratchett book - Nation.

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

Friday, Physio and PLNs

I need to get Sillicea pills so my knees won't get worse. I also have to see my Physio today. So that gives me a chance to go place and acquire thing all in one trip.

I couldn't find a tutorial on text boxes that I could understand, so I tried to improvise one and I'll be testing that and finding out what the hell I need to do to make it work properly.

I will therefore, eventually, understand text boxes and

Tuesday, Pitchathon and Patreon

There's an event on Bluesky called #2025Pit in which authors give their elevator pitch to the app in the hopes of picking up representation.

I pitched: Adapting, B'Nar, Clockwork Souls, Beauties and the Beastly, and ADT because why not?

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

Saturday, No Parkrun and Mor Pruning

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
