Dear Diary

A 3581-post collection

Sunday, Jiggery-pokery, Date Day, and other fun things

If you're reading this, you're probably wondering where the daily tale is[or you're my Mum. Hi, Mum!]. Well. Allow me to show you some weeds that I'm currently facing to explain at least a little bit of that.

  1. The QPP is going to see TMNT today
  2. I have to get ready for that
  3. AND what will probably end up being an entire day of excursion time
  4. I'm already plotting to do as much work "on the run" as possible
  5. Given the previous technical difficulties, this has an angle of unfucking things on the way
  6. The GOOD news is that the unfucking works
  7. The bad news is that I have to do it twice, once for each compy
  8. And my desktop is a little slow to start
  9. So my offerings may be published on Peakd as a wee bit out of order
  10. OR later today or even tomorrow
  11. Sooner started, sooner done. Wheeeeee...

So to commence, I pick out a nice 'fit, do self maintenance and feed the cats.

Joy.

Saturday, Change of PLNs

Adorable has been incapacitated in the wee small hours, so no parkrun this morning. I had to unriddle some banking nonsense before I commenced the horseshit this morrow.

At least the horseshit is sorted for the meanwhile.

Next problem: Having enough money -_-

I gotta do some effort to amend that nonsense. Including finishing the epic tale so I can get on with summarising all my extant novels so I can get them published on a higher scale.

I AM BEING

Friday, Unfuckening and PLNs

Parkrun tomorrow, and I need to buy some things online and configure some other things so my money is still accessible in all its varied places.

I would also like Beloved to answer a question I asked, but I might have to ask until we share air.

There's also cleaning the catio, creating The Bikkie [once more, I have no desire to mess about with pseudobread] and otherwise getting on with my routine.

I shall record an episode for Adorable, clean the

Thursday, Back to the Grind

I am only expected to give minimal offerings, today, so the chances are good that I shall complete some significant portions of a tutorial for Stencyl. At last.

I am confident that, once I complete all the tutorials, I should be able to build a passable game to suit my goals.

Discussing this with Beloved, there was some confusion regarding grid sizes. She was referring to the size of the 'patches' within the grid and I was referring to the whole grid.

Wednesday, Wordpress, Patreon, and a Date

I forgot what I should also have been doing yesterday. Concentrating on the daily tale and the meme.

Also it rained pretty hard and I could not internet easily. On the other hand, I did complete a couple more chapters for the eventual Patreon posts.

I should be picking up my Beloved really soon now. So I'm not investing a lot of time in the usual morning BS.

[One expedition later...]

I'm counter-reviewing all the ppl who reviewed me on the Foundry.

Tuesday, Patreon, Shrinky Business, and Unriddling

I got a very helpful pointer for my work in Stencyl. The instructions as written didn't include one easily-missed step. Now I know what to do for all the rest.

Perhaps.

Further bulletins as events warrant.

I have an interview with my shrink, amongst other business. Which now includes returning to the tutorial for Stencyl.

I'm at least going to try before I lean on Beloved to make the dang app. If I need her to do it.

Who knows? I might

Monday, Unriddling and Reads

I got some advice about Stencyl's oddities, which I shall be attempting to follow in the fullness of time. Tale Foundry is doing the pseudosocial backup readings.

I've already recorded a couple of chapters for Adorable. I shall be working on another chapter of my WIP during the proceedings, and the offerings shall occur henceforth.

Currently, I am typing with one hand because Jolie needs a pillow/teddy bear.

Sunday, Streams and Sleeps and Stuff

We've just had a very interesting session, with my crew discovering how awful the carnival is. And gathering things that might just help them beat the big bads.

I intended this to be a one-shot intermission on their usual adventures with a side of Plot Vortex. It's now stretched into THREE sessions because my crew have an innate capacity for dicking around.

Tale Foundry is doing the reads as I type this and my immediate plns are: Write story, sleep, publish, then

Saturday, Parkrun and further PLNs

I got Miss Chaos running to win this week. She really earned her sweet treat.

It looks like the game tomorrow morning might be off. Still consulting with my players about that.

Further bulletins as events warrant.

I might be spending alternate weeks doing book reads for my early morning stream. Stay tuned.

My immediate PLNs include my daily offerings, some chapter recordings, and if I'm still in a mood to stay awake, I'll likely play more BG3.

But I'll probably nap.

Friday, RESTORATION!

Finally got things up and running thanks to Beloved (bless you love). Hooray!

With good luck and good time, I might get an improvement on the instructions I use to get things back up if this happens again. Fingers crossed on that count.

I'm recording things, I've cleaned the catio, I've created and consumed The Bikkie. AAANNNND it's Mayhem's birthmas.

Happy birthday, kiddo. You got six months to start Adulting before you're effectively forced to do it.

After all, we have PLNs

Wednesday, Wordpress and PLNs

Beloved surprised me by heading home this morning, so I had to drop everything and scoot. Wheeee.

So now she's here and I've got some lower budget PLNs for fun shared space time together. Which have to wait until I am done with the offerings for the day.

Which are:

  • Wordpress
  • Fediverse meme
  • Tale Foundry entry
  • Daily tale

The prompt got announced sometime whilst I was unconscious, so now I hustle to have a go at someone else's universe for the Foundry.

Tuesday, Patreon and Owies

I had a cyclone migraine yesterday. Morning dose of the painkiller combo didn't quite work. Evening dose of same also did not quite work. This morning is very much the same. Took the painkillers, still feeling the hurts.

Fuckmylife.jpg

I just spent two hours (interrupted by fam) summarising my adventures in Baldur's Gate 3 as Kosh. I'm about to do the Patreon posts and memeing before I settle into today's tale. Interspersed with recording five chapters for Adorable.

I finished off

Monday, Progression of PLNs

I have one duck left to draw, and then it's CODING TIME. Oh my sweet powers, I need a lot of help with that.

I shall be searching with the Duck Of Wisdom [duckduckgo] to see if there's anything that will help me actually make a firkin GAME.

Further bulletins on that as events warrant.

As for today, I shall be finishing a chapter that I started in the morning, doing the daily meme and the daily tale.

Then I get back

Sunday, Games and Streams and Fun Times

We're back into the game and, after some MONDO dicking around, the crew got into some PLOT!

Fenri has a surprise sister. Fiver's found her kid that she forgot she had, and both of them and the asshole that killed Fiver's lover are in a carnival in the thrall of an Archfey.

And I threw Marvellous Magical Marvin in there too. For the lols.

I have to make up a bunch of intelligent attractions that are also in the thrall of a

Saturday, Parkrun and Impending Panic

I am waking up early tomorrow morning, and it looks like the rainbow crowd is having a game night tonight.

Whheeeeeeee...

I shall probably end up spending a lot of my weekend asleep, this time around.

I don't expect a lot of extracurricular activities until after Monday.

I shall get my offerings done, maybe play a bit of Baldur's Gate 3, and then catch a napnap before tonights game.

I'm going to check that it's really on before committing to being awake
