Pain Hurts

A 397-post collection

Monday, Shenanigans Ensued

I gave Chaos the mission of heading to the shops to get my polident. She decided to take off to do that long about 7AM... way before the shops open. I have no idea if she learned something from this, but Mayhem got paranoid about her staying away so long, so we had to stop by and make sure she was fine.

She's fine.

I have videos to post, a story to write, and an ankle to repeatedly ice. But at least I managed to get half a chapter done because -again- awake at 1AM. Yay?

Onwards and onwards to the remainder of my offerings.

Sunday, Catching up, Archive Reads, and Other Things

I've written the story for the next Archive prompt. I've posted the meme for yesterday in Blahaj.zone. I'm about to write today's tale and work on tomorrow's video.

After a week of snippets and little patches, I have finished a chapter of ADT. Huzzah. Also good news - Toasty has finished Escape From Divinity but I don't have the freedom to watch it just yet. Because the Archive stream is still going.

The bread I spent three days making is looking

Saturday, Social Time is Very Important Darling

Spent most of today in very good company as the process of investigating Chaos' computer issues got properly unriddled. Diagnosis - one of her compy cooling fans wasn't.

She now has a temporary computer to see her over to the time in which the original is fixed. This will also help various server downtimes with our personal infrastructure. Or having backup systems when we need them.

And I do confess to spending some of the time I could have been writing in

Wednesday, Rant Due, Videos, and Burnout

I am feeling exhausted from the moment I get out of bed, so I know I need a breather. I'm spending today, tomorrow, and the day after wrangling a double batch of bread and holy shit, I need a holiday.

If I record and edit Friday's video today, I can take tomorrow at ease. Or relative ease. I've given myself so much to do that I have to really juggle time in order to take time off.

Something's got to break, and

Monday, Surprise Expedition, Backup Reads, and Further PLNs

Mayhem has just notified me that he has to go to town this morning. I'll be finding out later if this is going to be a regular thing. Then I can actually plan my Mondays around them.

A little more than an hour's warning would be nice.

I'm experimenting again with not using the ankle brace, since it seems to be okay this morning.

Of course I'm still babying it. Hoping for the best and ready -just in case- for a relapse.

Sunday, Archive Reads and PLNs

The Twitch channel AMothintheArchive is reading other writer's microfictions. I'm attending as normal.

Some time after Costco opens, I shall be offski on a rather urgent adventure since we're almost out of eggs. We're rather caning the supply.

I don't think I'm likely to go back to regular chain store eggs. Costco's are cheaper and more abundant. I'll also be picking up a few other things along the way because resupply seems to be my regular mission in life.

Meanwhile, I am

Saturday, Hair Experiment and Taking it Easy

Once more, I am stuck nursing my ankle and otherwise attempting to return what passes as my health.

I am doing better. I can wander around without the cane, and in the brief occasions when I'm not wearing the brace, I am reminded why I need it with the odd little twinge.

I need to go shopping at some point because, once again, we're powering through the eggs and flour. My bread's delicious and Mayhem and I have developed the habit of

Wednesday, Rant Due, Video Editing, and Patreon Overdue

...and bread. Because the ravening hordes reduced a loaf to half in one night. So it's sensible to start off a second batch.

I have a rant, I have to finish editing a video [I have to post those], I have to post the Patreon stuff... and the offerings.

The ankle and the bread don't exactly slow me down, but they do interrupt. They derail, distract, and delay progress.

I'll get things done. Eventually. I might have to maintain being kind to

Monday, Yoiks and Away

Hi ho, off to work Mayhem goes. Then I have to do the backup reads, some recordings and videos to wrangle, and shopping to do. And bread to bake.

As well as the usual offerings unto the temple of notes, icing my ankle every two hours, and maybe getting some selfish time at the end of the day.

I'm going to try to at least put one sentence into ADT while I'm there.

Stick a broom up my bum and I can

Sunday, Technicalities Unfucking

I just finished today's tale and Adorable has my tower at minimum functionality. Since she's already working on it, the next order of operations is to get subtitles working on my version of Kdenlive. So I can stop bothering her for the subs to my videos. Huzzah.

At least I got the self-maintenance done. Yay. I'm taking that win.

Packing the cold pack seems to have worked, as I can keep it cold in Adorable's spare fridge. All I'm lacking is a

Saturday, No Parkrun and Yet More Technicall Issues

I gleeked on my lappy keyboard in the wee small hours of this morning and have had to do a hard reboot to fix the random BS that was happening as a result.

Gleek(n): That thin stream of saliva that comes out sometimes when you yawn.

It's now almost noon. It's taken me this long to unfuck the issue.

For the record, I had random windows popping to the top when I didn't click anything, and essential buttons refusing to be

Friday, Physio Day

Hopefully, I get the green light for driving further than a shopping expedition. That means I can take my tower to Adorable to get it un-imploded tomorrow. Why tomorrow? Because the physio is happening this afternoon. Taking it towards the evening might be a little bit on the risky side.

Best to go in full daylight so I don't risk making two round trips when I may only be able to withstand one.

I've set up a "working nest" on the dining

Thursday, Well... Fuck

My main compy imploded because I accidentally kicked the power loose multiple times because I need a pillow for my stupid pained ankle because I twisted it getting out of the car at Costco [that ate the malt that lay in the house that Jack built]. So I now cannot edit the videos due tomorrow. And a bunch of other things, besides. A lot of the stuff I do for the interwebs is locked in that machine and I can only pray

Tuesday, Furthering PLNs

Mayhem now has a foundation in using Cursor, and a week to FAFO with it before he says yae or nae to the traineeship. Okay. Would have been nice to know that before this morning.

I have a parcel to pick up so I might as well go on a supply run while I'm out. In socks and sandals because my shoes are too heavy for my delicate ankle. I'm in my comfy dowdy clothes because I could not give less of

Monday, A Small Hope

It's been a disorganised morning. Starting with Mayhem notifying me that he has a takeoff time to get to the nearest train station. Nice of Beloved or Adorable to give me a warning about that.

Anyway, Mayhem is offski for his traineeship orientation tour, all to see if he's amenable with the traineeship at all. If not, I have NO idea what's going on with him and his future.

Fingers crossed, my lad gets a career.

If not... well. There's a Woolies
