When I woke up at 4AM today, it hurt to talk. I'm resting up and keeping the fluids going. I also got a heads-up about not pressing a vital button, so a past story is out of order. Whoopsie.
I have to remember to check that I have hit the publish button. It's not always easy when my head is full of gluck.
I'm going to get my offerings out and chill for the rest of the day. Even though I haven't done buggerall yet, I am exhausted.
...stupid Lurgi.
On Monday, I barely got a story started before Mayhem turned up again. Technical issues prevented work from happening.
Can't work with the system if the system is down.
Yesterday, my plns to help with MeMum's printer were foxed on the starter blocks by another system going down.
Can't unfuck an electrical device without electricity.
I didn't get to sleep until after midnight. It's going to be a fun day today. Guaranteed early bedtime tonight.
But at least I get breakfast and

I just wanted to know which background colour made the better button. Black background or white background. I got information about literally everything else but that one simple choice.
I'll try this way:
Which version makes a better button to your eye? The one with the black background or the one with the white background?
To make things easier, I used the same bird

I still have to clean the catio, but I am going to focus on my offerings and work on Pseuducku. I have 64-pixel assets and 32-pixel assets. I shall be figuring out how to make the game boards at the very least.
We shall see.
I'll stop when I reach a frustration point.
And then likely get on with the habitat maintenance.

I might need to appeal for help from Beloved, but I'm trying to hold that off for as long as possible.
I can drive. I can sit and write. Walking around? I limp. I'm slow. It hurts. The maintenance routine doesn't do a lot to ease their symptoms.

Read more »I woke up in the wee smallest hours, this morning. Pretty soon after midnight, in fact. Since I couldn't easily get back to sleep, I sat up and wrote something.
Half a chapter of A Devil's Tale and the start of a Doctor Who fanfic, in fact. Part of me wants to write it like it could be an episode. A greater part of me is absolute shit at scriptwriting.
So it's a hybrid. And messy. I have a lot of ideas

Last time I tried this, it quit at 47% instead of 30% Last night, it crashed at 47% again, so I did the charge accurately this morning and I'm hoping to wind things down properly before I need it tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
I'm headed offski to unriddle MeMum's ongoing tech issues to the best of my inability. At least I'm

Managed the 5K in under an hour, and then it was off to-- SHENANIGANS!
Helping KIABIL get some parcels. Going with Friendo Awesome to get all our hair did. With meals between destinations.
I am a very tired bean because I haven't had my post-walk nap.
Nevertheless, I must to get the daily offerings done. At which point I shall be free to messing around

So I shall complete my daily offerings, and then figure out what I'm capable or willing to do.
It probably won't be much.
It's a feast day, so I have squirreled away a bunch of noodles for a later treat. My love and I are going

The magic cable was one that interfaced with Beloved's Cricut. So yay. Love of magic devices pays off at long last.
Bad news! I also have to edit the master document to make sure all the breaks for chapters

The post-lurgi sensation of limp, greasy, unwantableness continues to linger. So I shall baby myself. Wait until I'm sure that I am up to snuff, so to speak, before I take some wobbling steps back into what passes for my normal routine.
I need my voice to stream. I don't need it to write. So.

Coffee is not working rn.
I might just do my stream and then slug off because so dang tired. Get to the other stuff when I'm properly rested.
This, naturally, is a cue for everyone with a dirt bike or a motorcycle to have fun times in a round-robin noise-off.

We're keeping her home until the mucous goes away. Just in case.
My PLNs are few and mostly involve sleep.
After I post today's tale and participate in the Tale Foundry readings.
Let's get on with the first thing.

Not helped by Beloved deciding she wanted to whirlwind the entire house JUST as I was trying to sleep. So I'm more than a little wrecked today.
Blargh.
So wrecked that I didn't blog or publish until now. Whoops.
I do not expect a lot out of myself on Mondays.
