Parkrun

I did parkrun with little impact on my poor old feet. Huzzah. What it did make an impact on was my energy levels. I needed a nap after I got home.

So the offerings will be going out as soon as I can get them out.

I need to seek help with a bracket issue in GameMaker, but I also have personal energy issues that means it all has to wait until likely Monday.

Miss Chaos has gifted me the final straw, this morning. In an effort to save time, I sent her off with clear instructions on how to get me painkillers for my cyclone headache. She misunderstood my instructions so badly that it could not possibly be an accident. All the time bad-mouthing herself about her mental capacity.

Fun stuff.

Not so much time for handicrafty projects with power tools. OTOH more time for messing around with GameMaker.

I aim get the buttons sorted out this afternoon. I have the mock-ups to go off of when I do all of that. I have the assets ready. I have the instructions. All that's left is a few minutes of jiggery-pokery.

All that's standing in my way is my inhibiting terror that this will all blow up on me. Again.

I've had so many setbacks on this thing that I'm overdue some setforwards.

But before I get on with that, I'm doing

I survived with my feet intact, found a very nice place to have brunch, and managed to avoid getting feedback on the Pseuducku mockup. My tester didn't read the accompanying text, methinks.

I'm sharing a game with one pack of maniacs tonight, and another very early tomorrow morning. Fun times ahoy!

I'm saving on exercise shoe money by living all summer in my new orthotic sandals. They work wonders, even if my toes get froze in air conditioning. Thus saving me from
