Dear Diary

A 3764-post collection

Sunday, Stream, Unfucking, and Conflict

I think the fam is tackling the spare bedroom today. Which contains absolute years of hoarding craft supplies. Which Beloved promised, once upon a time, that she would organise.

Some of my SABLE dates back to the 80's.

See yesterday's blog about emotional attachment to things I spent a lot of money on.

There's also my job of moderating the Promptcast story stream. Which may or may not be a thing because the aforementioned clearing of the SABLE. Which promises to be a very personal nightmare.

Yay.

Not.

The old computer room is cleared out of all but the stereo and my albums. The new computer room is now being dubbed "The Nerd Cave" by yours truly. I've yet to tell if that's going to take off.

Speaking of taking off, I should get wriggling on today's tale.

Saturday, Unfuckathon

Can't mod today. The fam has come to evict years of packrattus. It's only now, hours after they arrived, that I have had the chance to sit and type anything about it because I also need the nebuliser.

I've been throwing out a lot of stuff I spent a lot of money on, but turned out to be useless. There's also been a huge amount of technoscrattle unearthed from the packrattus of ages.

My back hurts. My feet hurt. I'm almost certain

Friday, Everything is Sideways!

The situation in meme: New digs, who dis?

My compy has moved to the new computer room. I am currently tucked neatly into a convenient corner with everything set up nicely. Well. Nicer than a desk full of packrattus, anyway. Everything was working well, last night.

This morning, with very little changed in the way things were set up, the whole rig is no longer functional. All I did physically was add a few desktop gewgaws to my workspace. Make it homey

Thursday, Physio and Shenanigans

I have a physio appointment this afternoon and a shopping list that is growing into arm length, and no car. Or at least, no car as I write these words.

Just a little stress. As a treat.

On top of all the other stress going on because - once again - the Archive is blowing up with DRAMA.

After damn near two years of being told, AMitA's crew has finally noticed that the numbers are dropping off. This revelation has absolutely nothing

Wednesday, The Unfucking Continueth

Got the soon-to-be-ex computer room's drifts swept up, had a sneezing attack. Keeping tabs on breathing ease for the meanwhile.

The Dutch Oven is coming good. Less rust happened after the second baking incident. After the first one, the rust had become kind-of... fungal shelf looking growths in the bottom of the pot. BUT applications of steel wool, rust eraser, and coconut oil are improving the situation. It is looking better.

I'll be applying extra layers of oil as the days go

Tuesday, Hocus Pocus, Needs Moar Focus

Skipping the Patreon stuff today in favour of Bread and Unfucking the House. I have boxes to sort and the house has a new skip to fill. Huzzah.

I will get the daily tale sorted, but that will be happening between everything else. Expect it late, if at all.

I have physio this Thursday and there's no sign of my lovelies coming to help unfuck the place. So I shall take command and assign some tasks to the kids. Namely - moving

Sunday, Mor Stream Shenanigans

The Promptcast is reading stories, today. I'm moderating, of course. And probably working on today's tale during the slow bits.

I have my Dutch Oven in the process of seasoning right now. When that's done, I shall feed my starter, make The Bikkie, and set the dough-making process in motion. Wednesday morning, once the Dutch Oven is cool from all the bread making, I shall season it again. It will take a while to get it properly in order, but I have

Saturday, Streaming Nonse and Other PLNs

My lovelies are off with Chaos for Parkrun today. Then they're off once more to unfuck their soon-to-be-ex location in Brizvegas. Leaving Chaos here, of course.

I have storage boxes to sort. Mayhem has the job of selling of usable excess to whomever may be interested in that stuff.

Pretty certain that some's going to go for a dollar a piece. Either way, someone's happy, we have a little extra dosh, and Mayhem is interested in that 10% commission.

Chaos has yet

Friday, Big Unfuckening

I hope to get today's story underway after the fam has decided to take a rest for the evening. Hope. If not, I shall commence piling up the twofers.

I expect to be spending a majority of my day tromping around and moving things. Lifting heavy objects or carting them hither and yon.

I might get a chance to get a few words in when resting my poor sore feet. Time will, of course, tell.

These next four weeks are going to

Thursday, Technical Difficulties

The servers got hacked and my forum is currently inaccessible. Yay. So I can't address any of the submitted prompts from the lovely people who put them there.

Fortunately, I have the sum total of human knowledge at my fingertips. That includes writing prompts.

I'm sure I can find something truly random and interesting in good time.

And I need to write something for yesterday.

The Archive has spontaneously developed "piss on the poor" reading comprehension. So fuck if I'm doing anything

Wednesday, Rant and Other Shenanigans

I have a rant entry due and it looks like I'm out of fanfic. It also looks like the editor I use for that could use a good kicking. Huzzah. AND the primary means of communication to my lovelies is also down and out for the count.

Don'cha just firkin LOVE modern technology?

I have a Shrink meeting this afternoon via telehealth, so maybe I can get something done towards my offerings.

Considering it's taking me all day just to write this.

Tuesday, Patreon, Promptcast, and Assorted Palaver

My new driver's license got lost in the post (: The good news is that a replacement is on the way via registered mail. It'll get here slower, but it will GET here.

I've done the Promptcast thing for next week. I still need to post Patreon stuff, and my lovelies are on their way up here for more unfucking of the house. I have Physio tomorrow, so that's when I'm shopping with Beloved for hardware-associated stuff so I can mend the catio

Monday, Sounding Board Duty

There were only two stories for the backup reads, so we spent some time sharing other works. Got some input to consider on chapter one.

One hundred and sixteen to go.

Tomorrow, I get the car back. With Beloved and Adorable included within. What happens after that is a huge question mark.

I have PLNs for fixing things up, but I also need to consult with Beloved about said PLNs. But thanks to my lovelies buying a whole bunch of nonsense for

Sunday, Stream Shenanigans and Changes of PLNs

In order to save on fuel and travel, Beloved and Adorable are coming around Tuesday to Friday to unfuck this house. Which means that I have to make sure all my appointments and shenanigans match those days.

It does also mean I have more Monday to spend on assorted shenanigans and maybe mental degaussing. Better known by daylight as "playing Baldur's Gate 3."

I can hope. That's what I'm good at.

The Promptcast will be reading stories for one day - today,

Saturday, Streaming and Stuff

The Promptcast is about to launch Bookish Friday. I'll mod whilst I can, but there's no telling what may or may not pull me away.

Today's story will happen when it happens, of course.

And in BIG news, I have put in the last words to A Devil's Tale and am overdue a big rest. Or at least a breather from writing an entire novel... or six of them in one hit.

From January 22nd, 2022 to June 12, 2026. Four years
