The Archive will be reading, the Promptcast will be reading. I will be juggling my attention between those livestreams and my own writing... and probably my stupid ankle.
Treating it gently after a long day walking around is a good idea.
Story whenever I can make it happen.
In the meantime, I make sure I look after myself.
The shopping trip made my ankle really, really angry, so I'm taking more of a break for that sore and sorry portion of myself.
Sometimes, it's difficult to tell whether my heel or my ankle causing issues, I just limp all over the place. Or need my cane and cause worse knots in my firkin shoulder.
I need my cane today.
So instead of going on a Leyland's Tour with MeMum, I'll be staying in and doing the writing and the icing
Read more »I am DONE with baking for the meanwhile. Thank grop. The kids were left unsupervised with the second batch and accidentally invented something cool because they wouldn't listen to or didn't remember the original instructions.
The original plan: Dip the tops of some bikkies in treacle, then test to see if icing sugar or cornflour stopped them being sticky thereafter. The kids did the dipping and then covered them in caster sugar. AKA table sugar.
The end result is not sticky. Yay.
Read more »I have a video to publish on Peertube, the daily tale, and just maybe a chance to play a game other than Minecraft today. I also have zero excuses to not set up the blood test at firkin last.
Watch me come up with one.
My ankle's being a little tender so I'm treating it gently today. But in all other things, I should get things done.
Let's get going on that.
Read more »I have motivation to make my offerings quickly, today, because Anthill Village has released a demo!
Of course I'm going to record my first play for Peertube. I might even use a few plays for B-roll on my story reads.
I'm still babying my ankle and swearing my way through my knee stretchies in the morning. Trust me folks, start your body maintenance when you're young. It's worse than a bitch to build it back up again.
At least there's some notable
Read more »I am taking it easy in between wrangling bread. That means not fussing about interruptions and allowing myself to write the offerings I want and then stop there.
I have the video ready for tomorrow, so all I need to fret about are: the bread, the offerings, and maybe getting a few more paragraphs into ADT. I am not getting fussy about that.
The rest of today will be spent in making my mountain.
I need the time to chill.
Read more »I am sticking to the bare minimum offerings and only thinking about doing anything else. I've been told I might overwhelm my audience if I post story videos every day.
I might slow down when I get close to the stories I've written this year. There are a LOT of stories to read. And a lot more past entries to the Writer's Group that I could stitch into one reading sesh.
Not that I have an audience yet. It's early days on
Read more »For four days, I at least tried to get dressed, go place, and do thing. For one of them, I gave up because feeling awful. Even on that day, I got as far as getting dressed before crawling back to bed.
Tomorrow, I have to get dressed, go place, and do thing. Again. But today? I am taking it easy. Well. Relatively easy.
I still have no idea what to put into my rant for this week. I'm feeling weary so I
Read more »There was a lot of fun with the international chaos crew this morning. And now that I've had a nap and my stretchies, I should get on with the offerings.
But after that?
I'm taking the rest of the day to slack off. No work on Pseuducku. That can happen tomorrow.
Because I will be done making buttons and the next step is working out the buttons' functions. Terrifying.
But I think I can do it.
I... hope... I can do it.
Read more »I got MeMum home and helped her with a quirk of her laptop. We might have to do some jiggery-pokery down the line. It's looking like enshittification has made its slimy little had reach towards Mum's bank account.
Lucky for us that we can attach a new monitor and keyboard to the same processing power of the compy. That'll work for a while, I should hope.
I'll get cracking on the twoferfest overdue today. And then take it exceedingly easy into the
Read more »Mayhem has once again found a Lurgi that loves him. Alas, this news came after the writer's group was done with the share session. Whoops.
Tomorrow, I'm offski to the other side of Brisbane to unriddle MeMum's tech issues. At last. With a freshly-tuned car to do it all with. Yay.
Today, I'm going to attempt to add sounds to my Pseuducku project. Daring.
The good news is that my feet are starting to hate me less and walking is a lot
Read more »I posted what I have to offer. Which isn't a lot. Procrastination is my copilot and some degree of exhaustion is at the helm.
Soon, I'll be making my offerings unto the internet. Also, I shall be making bread with the help of the spawn. Because I already borked my wrists by walking with a cane.
I'm cancelling my story streams because schedule issues.
And spending as much time as possible on things I enjoy after that.
The sooner Mayhem has his
Read more »I'm taking it easy today, and I think I've earned the breather.
I'm putting minimal effort into A Devil's Tale today, and doing my mandatory dailies. And then I am slagging off until bedtime.
Given all the furforal I've been doing all week, and the furforal I'm going through next week... I deserve a little time for self-indulgent pursuits.
Next week, I resume the grand endless runaround.
Read more »All of this week shall also be taken in 4-hour road trips to drop Mayhem off at work. He's considering getting Work From Home, but has to (a) get his hand in at the job (b) rearrange everything in his room so it's also an office, and (c) figure out how to finance that noise.
It's going to be a while.
Fun times are ahead. Including the fact that I need to rearrange OBS again and configure my nonsense for streaming.

Read more »I don't have to go anywhere so I PLN on making the most of that. Four hours of my days next week will be in ferrying Mayhem to and from his new workplace.
The sooner this lad gets a car and license of his own, the firkin BETTER. Or he could move into a place closer to work if that works out for his long term PLNs.
Today, I owe y'all a twofer, which I will be taking at a relatively leisurely
