Parkrun

There's a movie called Mickey 17 out in cinemas now. There's another one called The Day the Earth Blew Up coming soon. Both of these are my personal must-sees. So we have a couple of date nights arranged. Yay.

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 that I have to be careful about the household taps. If I'm not - they bite me and give me the nerve janglies again.

Yes, I did parkrun with a thumb splint on. And I used my cane because I didn't want to need it for most of next week.

The physiotherapy is working... but not enough to have me fully on two feet again. Not yet.

I'm going to warm up the oven and shape a loaf. Then I go on and create today's offerings.

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

Miss Chaos earned her coffee toffees this week. All it took was me expressing my concerns. Would that that worked on her motivation to learn how to make a game.

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 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,

I have everything together, I am going to make myself put out last year's anthology today. I have the technology.

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.

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
