Something's in the air in the mountains of Rosewood, and I am SUFFERING, this morning.
I'm going to lie down for a bit after I'm done this morning and see how I fare after a good secondary nap.
I have no idea if I'll get going on any of my projects, today.
I need sleeps.
I also need to clean the Catio and feed my Starters at some point.
Publish first. Rest, next. Other nonsense thereafter.
Today, all bets are off regarding output. I am driving/escorting my love all across the country so we can all deal with funerary arrangements and organising the final farewell.
I'm taking my iPad on the off chance that I may have an opportunity to add a sentence or two to the continuing story of a devilborn whose love life is going to hell.
...better known to everyone in the loop as A Devil's Tale.
It's a security blanket and we both

I asked her what she meant by "it won't Expand" but there was no indication about that from her. Fun stuff. I might find out at a later hour. I might have to go there and find out in person.
Not tomorrow, since I am helping Beloved with funerary arrangements and doing the whole prop-up and support thing. I shall be
Read more »I am going to be set dressing in TaleSpire today. All the closer to swapping over to DungeonDraft and thereby speeding up the dungeon-making process. And also making a new process, huzzah.
I shall also be putting my continuing novel, A Devil's Tale, into a special folder so my mum can read it. Her compy doesn't like the huge master file, so she's getting a bespoke folder with each chapter in a separate document.
It's going to take me ages. I might
Read more »It's school holidays, so I don't need to fret about anything. I can turn varied alarms off and just snooze.
After I'm done with the stream, of course.
Beloved has work-related nonsense early in the day. Blargh. Given how much running around she's doing for everyone else, I'm starting to feel a little neglected. And I'm worried that talking about that is going to make me selfish.
Sigh.
Even finding the time to talk to her is a problem. Given the running
Read more »Tale Foundry is about to commence the weekly reads. I am prepping for the stream and the entry for this week's competition.
I voted for this one, but I only had a vague idea of what to do with it so... hoist by my own petard, I guess.
I also forgot what day it was, yesterday, so I owe my audience another read to make up for it.
I think I'm getting over the mild lurgi I picked up at Woolies, so
Read more »So my blood test results were inconclusive. Just below normal, and the Doc wants another go as close as possible to blood lab opening hours.
Problem 1 - I have a rhinovirus
Problem 2 - I have to book the appointment or wait for everyone doing a fasting test before I get jabbed
Problem 3 - I may have to cancel a stream to do it.
Fun times.
So I must wait for the mild sneezies to bugger off before I book,
Read more »I need to clean the catio today, and also see the local medico visavis my blood test. I also may have picked up a rhinovirus at Woolies.
Some dingus didn't cover their firkin mouth at the ONE place I forgot to wear my dang mask. FUCK.
I'm going to be exiled to the plague seats out in the open air. All the better to prevent the spread of disease.

Beloved and I have begun to work together on the budget, which
Read more »My compy almost died last night because of some weird-arse crap. Something needed scraping out of the circuitry and I was lost for what the problem was.
A problem that did not get fixed until pretty fucking close to midnight. Thank the Powers that I napped between the time of the problem (9PM) and the time of the fixing.
Otherwise, I would be useless for everyone and everything.
I need to talk to my Beloved about how to guarantee contact with her.
Read more »My love spent the day and the night and the morning at work. She didn't turn up at home until like 2AM :P At some point, we need to get supplies and do a budget. Balancing things we need to pay for versus things we want to pay for et cetera.
One bit at a time, we shall manage stuff. Wrangle our income, wrestle our expenditures and get things sorted out.
I don't even know IF we're having a date night this
Read more »Capt. S passed on at roughly ten-thirty last night.
Beloved is likely to need me, and it's my job to be the support for her. Things may be off-schedule as a direct result. She's taking some leave in order to deal with everything.
I might be cancelling or delaying stuff in order to help out. I thank you for your patience with me during this difficult time.
Her stress is my stress too.
I shall try to get everything done today. I
Read more »Today, I do not have to fret about getting Miss Chaos to school. Therefore, my plans don't stretch much further than bare-minimum content, and simply Being There for my beloved.
Capt. S will not be with us much longer, and if I focus on that fact, I will be useless. The cruel world spins on. Creatures need to eat, bills must be paid. Things need dealing with.
I need to go get kitty fodder and litter at some point. Where the money
Read more »I am sinking into Minecraft again, and I know exactly why. It's what I do when I have nothing I can do. It helps me feel like I'm getting something done.
Capt. S is on morphine, and doesn't have long. Beloved's going to be with her today, and I can't do anything.
Beloved is going through one of the worst experiences to survive, and I can NOT help.
So I fart around in Minecraft. Because it's something that I can do.
I
Read more »I should get a chamber or a void done. I should get some more chapters summarised. I should also spend some time with my Beloved because quality time is important.
I shall work at what I can work at whilst my Beloved sleeps.
After that, my schedule is filled with a huge question mark. Hopefully with some R&R but you never know.
I think five chapters per diem is being kinder on myself and letting me have more mental health/
Read more »I shall at least be cleaning out the Catio today. Despite cyclone headaches, despite whatever my painkillers are going to do to me today.
I distracted myself from writing this blog. Yay. But at least I got to do the right things in the right order.
Today's pln also includes a chamber or a void in TaleSpire, at minimum five chapters to summarise of Adapting and then writing, relaxation, and possibly an awful lot of Minecraft.
Beloved has a fancy 'do' to
