I have MONEY! Yay. It's immediately going to go on some foods and a couple of treats.

...and staying alive is getting expensive, these days.

Even my normal pinchpenny tactics aren't making the grade. Hell, it's got to the point where filling up on petrol spells a rough financial week.

I can still cope, and I can still save, but it feels like I'm just scraping by. This might be also influenced by being pushed to pitching by Beloved. It might only feel like a desperate need for moneys because I really should have an income from what I've been calling my day job for ten years.

And I really should shit or get off the pot on that one.

The good news is that it's easier to get the pitch kits together for just one target than it is to get them ready for all targets.

The anxious news is that I will be pitching all the sooner and I shall be an absolute WRECK about it. I'm going to be terrified, but I'll do it scared.

You could run a nation off my nervous energy, honestly.

I also have to call the bank for some reason. Probably related to the home loan. Which we are paying regularly, dangit. If it's anything else I can ask them why the heck they're calling me about it.

AND I need to unriddle my Smashwords taxes while I'm at it.

IF I get it all done today, I'm having some ice cream.

Offski on my Leyland's tour. Offerings when I get back from that bullshit.

I am gathering lists of things to acquire, places to go to get them, and maybe even the budget for doing all of that. Fun.

My aim is to get as many non-perishables or freezables as possible so I can avoid as much pre-holiday zombie hordes as I can.

Mayhem's making two pies. He can keep those cool or frozen before the Big Day(tm). Finally got some ideas out of Miss Chaos, so now I can concoct a PLN. Yay.

I

Okay. For realsies. THIS time, I'm going to go out and get my Ashwagandha, some Crimbo shopping, and household essentials.

Not going to be saving a lot this pay cycle.

When I finally get back from my excursion, I have to remember my stretchies or I shall hurt myself by writing.

Hargleblargh.

I am just so firkin tired already. AND I still have to unfuck my habitat.

The house is still a shambles and I can feel time running down. Grr.

It's

So. Last night, I discussed arranging a means by which MeMum could cock a snook at the people cutting her off from Doctor Who and other things for the sake of profit and profit alone.

Lots more of us will want to know about that for sure. Watch for cautionary posts telling you what not to do so you don't accidentally commit a piracy. Coughcough.

One of the essential tools for that sort of thing is a Smart TV. Be very careful
