It was a VERY wet parkrun, this week. I spent a majority of my volunteer time holding up my Bunnings Brolly for all the people coming in with their tokens. Yes folks, I signed myself up for token sorting.
I want to get my exercise next week, but if they need folks to help, I shall see what I can do.
In other news, I have a new toy to play with. So I'll be messing around with that at a later time. After I've made today's offerings.
Best to get on with that.
I don't have to get up early tomorrow, so I have time to bake. Yay. With all good fortune, I should have bread and be able to face tomorrow.
Beloved and I still haven't found the end of Book 5.
Whilst I wait for bread milestones, I am going to get brave and fling a thing at someone. And fiddle around with Zrhythm to see if I can make it go.
I can do this. I have the technology. I can at

I need to preheat the oven, arrange dough and shape at least one loaf. Since I have to get up at Awful AM tomorrow, I'll be doing my second loaf later on that day.
My shoulder's still giving me trouble and I've discovered
Read more »Today, I decided to see how far I could get this parkrun without using my cane. I had it dangling from my belt in case of need. Which did become necessary. Chaos reckons I made it about 3K and I'm not about to argue with the math. All I know are landmarks. On the way out, it's the bridge over the stream, the large overpass, the small overpass, and then the turn-around before going through all that backwards. I made it past

I might have to find her some variety of McJob in order to appreciate that learning programming is the easier thing to do.
I'll ring APM if I have to.
Then I'll look into online courses to teach me how to properly use GameMaker and how much they might firkin cost.
I
Read more »Well. I just finished the chapter in which Kosh dies for realsies. There's aftermath to cover, and then I'm skipping ahead by centuries. Covering a few of the warped stories that become nursery tales or wild fantasy stories.
I think I might write chapter 600 in advance. Just to cheese it. When I get there, that's it. The end. Finito. Done and dusted.
And I will take an extended break before I even think of rewriting Rael or finishing off Kingdom of

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,

Gotta acknowledge my limits, you know.
I have added gel pads to my super foot-friendly shoes, and I think it's made a difference. So too has swapping the side I use my cane on until my other heel stopped whinging about things.

I just need to remember everything I need.
I should be fine.
I have to soak my feet in cooled water because swelling issues and I also have to keep off my feet for as long as humanly possible until further notice.
Fun stuff.
Not so much time for handicrafty projects with power tools. OTOH more time for messing around with GameMaker.
Read more »My poor Beloved has been run off her feet with work. So much so that the post-parkrun chapter reads have been suspended until further notice.
I sincerely hope that "further notice" happens today. I need to find the end of book five and ponder WTF I'm calling book six.
I'm starting to run out of alliterative D-themed titles.
All whilst also plotting to kill off my MC's and wind up the sketches of the fantasy future.
I will finish this WIP. I

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
Read more »I've packed my pills, my headphones are fully charged, I have my knees on and I remembered to cool my heels before I tied my shoelaces.
I think I'm doing pretty good so far. Despite feeling very, very tired.
I will for sure need a cold pack when I return home to make my offerings. All the better to make sure I can shamble around the house for my varied needs.
I don't know why, but my heel is protesting this morning.

Attempt.
The physio is working in that I was able to walk the entire 5K without needing to support it with the cane. Yay for my left heel. Alas, my right knee has had enough of supporting me and decided to be a huge bitch the entire time.
I shall be talking with my physio about that come Monday. Replete with descriptions of the clicking and clunking that
Read more »The good news is... I made it over 3/4s of the way through the whole 5K before I needed my cane to help me make it all the way there.
It's sweltering hot, out there, so my brunch this time included ice cream.
As for progress... after two weeks of too busy, too sick, and too disorganised - I finished one chapter of A Devil's Tale.
Trust me. This is a massive cheev.
As for the pain -well- the heel that

It is my sincere friend when my heel feels like I have stepped on a thousand legos.
Beloved, Adorable, Miss Chaos, and I went to see The Wild Robot and... I'm not crying, you're crying.
It's interesting to
