Pain Hurts

A 147-post collection

Saturday, MOR Shopping GDI

My sandals have fallen undone for the last firkin time, so now I'm on the hook for getting another set. And also attempting to find them is going to involve wearing the shit set because they're the only set I have.

At least I can get one to stay on if I wear the ankle brace. Sort of.

I also have bread in progress so I may even wait until the first loaf of the day is done and the next is proofing before I set off on my grand quest for orthopedic sandals that will actually stay on.

I have some leads, but I don't know if they're worthwhile. I shall be finding out the hard way because the online catalogues available don't have the data I need.

I can get orthopedic thongs, but I'd rather not.

I also need cat food as part of my journey. Though it is the most important supply to get (just ask the cats) it's going to wait until I have better footwear.

Story whenever I can squeeze that thing in.

Friday, Emergency Dash

Miss Chaos needs more slobwear. And hefty instructions on how to make her clothing last. Maybe re-enforced with some parental haranguing.

I also need a mouse to make my lappy work because the trackpad has decided it doesn't like me. I have what I call "Random Clickitis" that calls functions/things I had never wanted. Often while I'm typing.

Adorable is trying to help me out by extreme remote - she's in Melbourne with Beloved doing a meet&greet to organise

Thursday, Chugging Along Slowly

I know what the next prompt for the Archive is, so I've written that story far in advance. Now I just got to trim it town to the allotted amount of words.

No pressure.

The catio is fixed, at last. Necessitating a trip to Bunnings to get the aviary clips, but it was done yesterday afternoon and the cats are once more secure indoors. Huzzah.

Wednesday, Rant and One Little Thing

I just need one thing to fix the fuck-off hole in the catio.

[Shown here, plastic garden mesh with a huge hole in it. Concrete and plants are visible through it]

It's aviary clips. I've bought them via click and collect and will collect them when prompted to do so.

In about four hours. When the full heat is on the day.

So my options are: Wait until the day cools off and do that, or... wait until early the following morning

Tuesday, Patreon and FML

Breaking News

Pippi has figured out how to escape the fucking catio. Part of my ongoing mission now is to figure out how she gets out and what we can do to fix that shit.

So I gotta put on clothes, go to Costco, and get another slab of eggs at least.

THEN there's detective work on the catio to figure out.

So... whatever is happening online today? It's happening whenever.

Monday, Archive Socialising and Other Things

The folks at the Archive missed me, so that's where I'm spending my morning hours. And it gives me a chance to procrastinate on sallying forth and getting more stuff.

I need a new stand mixer, and I need a new stash of rice, as well as flour for the ginger bikkies that I plan on gifting the fam.

I'm thinking about rolling some in 100's and 1000's just to see what happens, but I don't think it'll work out like I'm

Sunday, Stream Shenanigans

The Archive is not streaming this week. The Promptcast is. Meanwhile, I'm allegedly working on my main offerings.

I shall endeavour to have some play time today. Rather than diving wholesale into shiny and spicy fanfic. I have no idea how well that's going to work, though.

The fanfic is fun... but not play

In the FuckMyLife Files, the stand mixer that has done excellent service since my smols were SMOL... has decided to give up the ghost. So my future travels

Saturday, Reserved Fun Hours?

I'm juggling bread, icing my ankle, and the usual story stuff, today.

And one side project is very shiny and distracting.

BUT I also hope to have a few hours at the end of the day to meddle around in a long-format game. Either Sexy Vampire Game or Hideo Kojima's Pizza Delivery Interactive Movie.

I dunno.

I'll see what I can do whilst at the mercy of various timers.

Friday, Dramathon

Today's off to a fantastic beginning. My mentee decided to post after asking for help and not waiting for it. My mum's blacked out and dreading the heatwave. Miss CHAOS cooked up a week's worth of mince in two goes and let it rot, so I have to replace that shit.

...and I have a doctor's appointment today.

In a few minutes, actually.

So if I'm off the radar for the rest of the day, you know I had to go rescue

Thursday, Physio and Mor Shopping

It was nasty, yesterday, and after getting so far, I decided to stay home instead of dropping off Miss Chaos and soldiering on. I have physio today, so that's an excuse to continue the Leyland's Tour and get all the things we need to keep the house going.

It promises to be just as nasty today, alas. But we still need stuff and things.

I've not been feeling the video production of late. Progress is happening slowly, there. I might have something

Wednesday, Shopping and Other PLNs

We're almost out of eggs. We're certainly out of bacon. I need flour and things because the kids are tearing through my bread.

So that's part of today's agenda.

I have to think up what I'm ranting about today.

I'm reviewing Archive tales before the time comes to launch on the Leyland's tour. Just so I can get my points in to be sure I have a chance to get read.

And I'm keeping track of my words now to see how

Tuesday, Patreon and Writing PLNs

I did my video prep before commencing, and I already did some 1AM writing because I have once again fucked up my sleep schedule.

At least I got a chapter finished. Twenty-six chapters to go.

I got some things to share with my Patrons, yay.

But first, I need to make one more thing to entertain my Patrons with, and that shall be the Podcast prompt. Since I still can't fucking figure out the Archive prompt. There's still time. I will get

Monday, Shrink Day and Other Things(?)

I have now signed on to a word count tracker, so every word I put down that isn't chat between pals is going to get counted.

I have no idea if there's going to be a read-in today. We have three weeks to work on the prompt in the Archive and I still have no clue what I'm doing with it.

I will either get an idea or not. I can hope that I do.

In the meantime, I have

Sunday, Streams and Shenanigans

I am watching the Archive stream, and as soon as the Promptcast one begins, I'll be over there to see how they react to the snippet I managed to get.

I'm evil that way.

I have a video to arrange for tomorrow, the story to write for today, and some very shiny story that I'm basically writing for a friend.

They're throwing art at me. How could I resist?

I shall attempt to focus on the day's tale. And then get on

Saturday, Taking it Easy? Please?

I am aiming to get more hours of free time, today. BUT the other collab work has apparently revived, so I'll be keeping an eye out on that particular channel.

...and I have shiny, shiny fanfics whimpering for my attention.

We'll see how I go.

Shopping, yesterday, wrecked my ankle but good. I needed the cane and extra ice time just to shamble around and finish the rest of my appointed tasks.

At least we have bread now, and the fam are
