I am going to write today's Instant and then vanish into doing nothing until I either finish a fic or fall asleep.
Beloved will be back on Keto today after a weekend of breaking it good and hard. And to be honest, the instant I'm done with the story, I'm back in there to check on them.
We've had a lot of carbs, yesterday. There might be some trouble from the diabetes as a result. In fact. I'll just check now.
Still snoozing. I'll let them continue to nap.
I have a story to create.
For all my plans to do nothing, there's another day of something. Yes, dear readers, my Best Beloved has taken another free trip around the sun and we're celebrating with carb-loaded treats.
Because birthday.
I have also had zero time and energy to devote to the subtle art of present-getting, so. Part of today will possibly be spent out shopping.
I had to help the kids get my presents. Beloved should do the same.
But since it's a lazy day, it's already

IT SUCKS!
This has been an entire week of doing one thing a day that frightens me, and I am worn the feck out.
Assisting Chaos' field trip for what seems like is going to be a majority of the day. So my Instant may be late.
Apologies in advance, but family always comes first.
And I don't have a great deal of time to try doing it now, either. So be warned.
Mayhem is falling under the influence of Lurgi, and I need to get the kid some more sugar-free ginger ale. Fortunately, that is cheap at Aldi's. Yay.
He's not feverish enough to keep
Read more »I fucking called it. I now have Thursday on a field trip with Miss Chaos that is out of the usual routine, and Friday is the day I'm driving Mayhem around.
Fun.
I knew this kind of noise was going to happen. It just goes this way.
So yeah. I'm going to be wrecked by the end of the week. And tomorrow's story is going to be L-A-T-E. Time windows are SUCH fun.
I need to figure out a dinner. I suspect
Read more »I did the quack thing yesterday. Huzzah for me.
I'm doing the shrink thing today. More attempts to sort out where the hell I am and what's going on with this whole procrastination mess and why I've been panicking inside my head for like... months.
And tomorrow... Tomorrow, oh tomorrow... I brave myself up and take that firkin blood test thing and myself out to get all the LDLs counted.
All stressful things for me. All taxing my capabilities. All draining my
Read more »Remember how I said my procrastination would bite me in the butt? It has.
My shrink appointment's tomorrow and I had not gone to the quack since my last one. And I need a mental health plan to continue seeing my shrink.
The thing I've been dragging my feet over is that I also need my blood checked for cholesterols. I have the kit, but I really don't want to find out the lengths I have to go to in order to
Read more »That's my 'meh' face. And will do as an "I'm too tired to think of anything clever".
Which is pretty much where I'm at, today.
Nothing happening. Nothing planned. A luxurious day of ficcing and snacking and napping and perhaps more Minecraft.
Story happening whenever I feel like it.
Read more »I can focus enough to start and finish a hurt/comfort sickfic in one morning. Yay me. But I can't focus enough to do the morning thing and Beloved already wants me to play Minecraft with them.
Sigh.
And I still have to do today's actual free fiction. Rather than turning my eyes permanently to a certain Texmex themed arsehole wizard.
That said, you should definitely listen to the The Adventure Zone podcast. It's amazingly funny and the characters are totally loveable
Read more »Mayhem is going to be making his own game. Or at least pitching one. I can't reveal the details because people will flog any idea off the internet that sounds cool. And I want Mayhem to have some success on this.
I have a long-arse drive, there and back, twice, to deal with. And that's going to take at least one can of caffeine.
And on the second leg, I am definitely bringing my lappy so I can work on things whilst
Read more »Cleaning day has moved to today. All well and good because Friday mornings are now spent ferrying Mayhem to his traineeship.
I'm slightly concerned because he has assignments from two angles now and he's sitting around and playing Factorio. He should be planning. Budgetting his time. But no. He's focussed on fun.
The more I get on his case, the less inclined he is going to be to firkin do the thing. I just have to gently remind him that all projects
Read more »There's things I need to do. Like... make a doctor's appointment for my continuing mental health. And brave up and actually read the instructions for that blood test I ordered half a year ago. And brave up to send my manuscript out to another agent or three.
I am a fucking coward.
I know I'm going to procrastinate myself into a corner some day... I just gotta make myself do these things.
And I would much rather listen to the entirety of
Read more »It's Melbourne Cup Day, and I shall likely not see my Beloved until later tomorrow. It's always a huge scramble at this time of year. And it's made worse by the fact that the site they routinely fix has decided that this morning is the perfect time to go on the fritz.
Hoo-fucking-ray.
I'm doing my usual nonsense, today. And probably cooking up a little something-something that won't take too much of my energies.
I'm sleeping better since I had a weekend
Read more »Bills to pay, licenses to maintain. Food to procure and prepare. Cleaning the house. Writing the things. And a very distracting horde of plotbunnies clamouring in my head.
I am making myself finish a thing before I start off a new thing, though. Let the plots pickle a bit before I go chasing after a new idea. Chasing after plotbunnies leads only to ten thousand partial fictions and even more shinier ideas that will never get finished.
Not doing that noise again.
Read more »I had the most luxurious slug-a-thon, yesterday. Just me, my lappy, and a whole bunch of napping in-between writing some of the most ridiculously loving sex scenes I have ever put into the digital medium.
It was fun for me.
I'm not so very tired, any more, but the inertia is strong in this one. I'd much rather be writing some more sappy love scenes than doing my work. Or lounging with my Beloved and catching up on Star Trek: Discovery.
Or
