I have a story to read for tomorrow's video. I have five chapters to read so that (maybe) Adorable can hear them. So far, efforts had not been great.
I'm recording on schedule today...
I got interrupted by an errand to take machinery and bits to Beloved, and I got a couple more chapters read for her. Yay.
So now I get on with my offerings and video read at minimum. If I can, I'll get the latest five chapters recorded as well.
Onwards, ever onwards to more of my nonsense.
It's half-past nine and so far I'm feeling like...
[Shown here: A simplified humanoid figure oscillating rapidly left and right. It is captioned, "I have done nothing productive all day"]
Which is a lie. I have finished up half a chapter of ADT, I've been working on some fun fiction this morning. And I'm reaching for motivation to start submitting books at people again, but it's the kind of work that makes my bones feel heavy and uuuuuurgh.
If I had an
Read more »I've been going on drips and dribbles with ADT these last two days. Mostly because the lure of three firkin fanfics are calling me with their siren song. I'm aiming to use my ankle icing time to add a few sentences into one work or another. I successfully added a sentence to three fics so this break will focus on the book first, and then drift off to wherever the muse drags me.
So far, so good.
The bread's done, the story's

Fun.
Alas, the information of what to do seems to be behind a paywall and I have no idea what to do about it. Some searching has dug up A lead, but I'm not entirely certain it's the right one.
I've done a few paragraphs in

Which is now the fam's TempoCompy. For all the assorted temporary computer needs. Huzzah.
Which leaves Mayhem baking the second batch of bread and doing... experiments with it. Fun. I'll find out how that went when I get home. Either way, we eat the results.
And, because

I have videos to post, at last. And videos to finish editing. I really should clear out my old video data before it borks my drive. I can do that today.
If I can focus long enough to do a thing.
Focus is the issue.
Hocus pocus...

I have calculated that it takes me around 20 hours to make bread from 'go' to 'whoah'. That's not counting the prep and bumbling about time so it probably is closer to 22 hours. No wonder it takes me two freaking days to have lovely golden butt loaves.
I should be able

It's time to take off. BRB.
I return.
Even the physio can't figure out what the hell I did to myself. I shall continue with rest and being very careful with how I handle the household taps.
I also have to keep today's

There's less garbage in the carport and there will be more space for her bike. In good time.
After I'm done with the backup reads, I'll supervise her practicing riding her bike up and down the road.

Yoiks and away.

Bread is postponed until Wednesday, because MeMum needs my car and tomorrow is the best time for shenanigans of that ilk.
I think Thursday/Friday might be the best day for posting stuff to Patreon. Trying to remember to do that is the hurdle for me to overcome.

That'll be today's ten minutes.
I have no idea what I'll manage tomorrow.
But I will manage it.
Story soon. Everything else thereafter.

I'm taking my lappy for the hurry-up-and-wait. Which means there shall be progress on yet another chapter of A Devil's Tale.
I sincerely hope to get it finished early next year.
I also sincerely hope to stop at a sextology. Mostly because
