Sunday, Complicated Day

So. Capt S is having a day in which she should not be without some fam nearby for comfort and succour. We have plns to visit her in the morning, because I need to sleep for D&D tonight, we need to get going ASAP because Capt S is two hours' drive away.

As a direct result, I am streaming at 4AM and missing out on the Tale Foundry readings. I shall catch the VOD1 at a later time.

Because Capt S needs us today.

I will probably spend a large portion of the transit time in cat-napping, and internet SUCKS in Scenic Coominya, so I will likely be incommunicado as far as the interwebs is concerned.

I will try to take Devil's Tale with me. On my new lappy. I will NOT be taking the associated stylus because the method to keep it with the lappy is a little on the dodgy side.

The magnets are nice and clever and also weak as heck.

I don't have any arting programs on it anyway. Not yet.

It's unlikely that I'll write anything, BUT... if I get the chance, there shall be more terrible Tiefling yearning and stuff.

Wish me luck.

Long Monday, and an extended quest

I have been awake since 10PM last night, I have tasks and errands that will keep me awake for most of the day, belike.

All to help my Beloved have a better stay in hospital.

And when I'm done there, I need to go get some cream because we're nearly out. Fingers crossed, they won't be sending Miss Chaos home early because weather.

...you watch. I've spoken it into existence. It will happen.

Blargh.

I can only try my best. It's all

Thursday, proposal, and shenanigans

I do not have much time this morning so I make an effort to be quick.

Bullet points:

  • Re-proposed to Beloved as part of the pre-anniversary celebrations
  • Beloved has a tummy bug. Not related
  • Mayhem has a job interview
  • I'm trying to build the Box of House as a base for my players
  • I still want to have merch but I have little in the way of time today because of the above
  • If I don't hurry, I won't get my story

Thursday, Day 0, STILL busy

I'm feeling a bit better about my place in the world this morning, but I know I'm still on recovery. So. No stats. No news. Just me doing my utmost to just achieve stability.

Speaking of stability, Mayhem is renewing his learner's permit, an event that I predicted. He's starting to realise that time and procrastination is going to bite him in the bum. BY having time and procrastination bite him in the bum.

...speaking of time and procrastination, I should focus

Maybe Learn Some Manners: OR YOU'RE

Friday, Day 0, Busyness

Plague news: Three new cases - one local, two imports. Thirty-two total active cases, twenty in hospital and one in the ICU.

Something broke for me last night and I am shifting chunks like nobody's business today. I only feel like I'm breathing easier so one of my tasks this morrow is to put myself on Max for another dose.

My head firkin HURTS today. I've already taken ibuprofen and paracetamol for it. It's not kicking in so great. Alas. I predict
