Dear Diary

A 3803-post collection

Saturday, Ailments Ahoy

Everything intermittently wrong with me has ganged up on me today.

I slept on my left shoulder wrong. Some eyelashes in my right eye decided to stage a rebellion, but they're too teeny tiny to grab with the tweezers and pull out. My lungs want to go on strike and my knees are intermittently warping on their own.

I'm doing what I can to relieve that.

Making progress on cataloguing my comics, now. At last. I give myself one folder or half an hour, whichever is done first. And then I put the catalogued stuff in my "out box" before moving on with the rest of my bullshit.

I have already reached the top of my "out box" with folders, so I'll be cataloguing my manga booklets to fill out as much space as I can.

Meanwhile, another daily tale.

Friday: Twofer Day

I have two stories to write, to make up for the lack yesterday.

For the record, I am rested, revitalised, and reset. Ready and raring to write.

With good luck, I shall not only get a twofer written, I shall also get a folder of comics catalogued. All the better to cash the larger portion of my collection in.

I'll do the folders first, then the 'loose' stuff. THEN the filing cabinet. All the catalogued ones will be going into a crate

Wednesday, Physio, Day Off Prep, Etc

There will be no story tomorrow because I am taking a complete day off. No writing, only sloth.

I think I have earned some indulgence.

My vaguest PLNs for tomorrow include lots of gameplay, some slobbing about, and definitely some bad-for-me food.

Which I plan to acquire today.

Story shall be happening after I return from shopping and a nap. My PLN for now is to try to snag some editing for my Promptcast thing before I have to take off and

Monday, Time Windows

I want to co-ordinate a day off. This may mean going shopping after my shrink session today.

Because if I knew what the fam is doing on Tuesday, I could go shopping then, but I don't. And if I want fun cool lazytimes on Wednesday, I need to prepare.

Also plotting to begin refilling the freezer with good things. Vegetables. Treats. Maybe some meats.

I'll see what I can do for sausages since my lovelies appreciate the barbecue and the brazier at

Saturday, And a Cat!

We found and transported the errant feline! There are now four more people and a cat sharing my domicile. Yay.

We now have more fucking bread than we know what to do with. Adorable made sure we'd have plenty to tide us over the three-day baking process. So we have loaves all over the place.

I've put all of the purchased baked goods out in the open for easy predation consumption. My hope is that sandwiches help erode the supply there.

We

Friday, Maybe This Time - and a Cat

Waif was scared off by noisy door yesterday. And there's evidence that she found, killed, and consumed a rat. Maybe she can teach my fiends a few things...

The big, awkward, hard-to-shift furniture is up here, in pieces, and everywhere related to "in the way". We will be consolidating our assorted nonsense when it's all up here.

That includes two households worth of cutlery, crockery, cookware, gadgetry, and accoutrements to sift through. Yay.

And I have comics to catalogue [later to sell]

Thursday... And a Cat (We Hope)

Heavy furniture delivered and placed, extra people settling in. There's just a couple of small issues:

  1. The cat - Waif - did not like the truck and bolted while it was there.
  2. Our chest freezer decided to die a couple of days ago.

There is a hope that Waif will come running for her people when the truck is no longer there. Then it's a question on keeping the little menace indoors until we get the greater catio patio accomplished.

The good

Wednesday, Bread and Truck Day

I got clearance to make bread. My lovelies are getting a truck to move the tricky bits, and this house is going to be CROWDED-crowded.

C-R-O-W-D-E-D.

But it is very good to get back to bread again.

The downside at the moment is the lack of bench space for the bread-making accessories. I foresee this being A Thing for continuing bread adventures.

We will figure things out. Eventually.

My hobby for the day is progressively putting moved food substances away. All the

Tuesday, Confounded PLNs

Here's my PLN:

  • Wait until the fam has shenanigans with the truck/pod and difficult furniture
  • Steal the car to go shopping and get supplies
  • The next day, I start bread

I even fed my starter because I 'knew' that it would be a while before I got the car.

Delivered my PLN to the Cule who then informed me that they've gone out of their way to give me car access today -_-

So the instant I'm done with my

Monday, Shenaniganery

The moving is intensifying. There has been mention of a truck happening at some point in the week. I may have to wait to shop until next week.

I am endeavouring to focus on today's tale, but I have friends chatting with me on Discord and my lovelies relaying shit into the house.

It's not looking good for story progress. I am DISTRACTED-distracted.

But there will be a daily tale.

Eventually.

Sunday, Cancellations and Shenanigans

Promptcast is cancelled until August. Circumstances beyond anyone's control. So theoretically, I have more time to myself. Or I would if the shenanigans didn't include four people and a cat. My aim today, at least in meatspace, is to arrange a section of the countertop for bread. I will have to move some things around, but moving things around is de rigeur these days.

Once I have space, I will seek clearance to start the bread process.

I'm pretty sure my bread

Saturday, Shifting Stuff

There shall be several trips with smaller stuff (and one person) over the passage of a few days. I still have no idea what's happening with moving the awkward stuff. No updates there.

I have fed the birds, the cats, and myself (yay). And helped out a friend with their writing.

The Promptcast is doing Booked For Friday, so I'm moderating over there. THEN I get on with the daily tale. If I'm not delayed by Other Stuff(tm).

I'm probably going
