Parkrun

Saturday, No Parkrun Because Ankle

I have a maximum of two hours to do things before I have to spend twenty minutes with a cold pack on and under my ankle. Plus I have bread going on. I thought one batch would be enough, and it looks like the kids are back to predating upon it.

Mayhem's off to work this Monday, so I may have to get Chaos to contribute to the bread supply.

I have NO idea how I'm going to deal around shopping time. I'll figure it out when I get there, I guess.

Onwards to what I can manage of my offerings, before I have to collapse about it.

Saturday, Parkrun and Other Sundries

Adorable introduced me to a cute little game called Dragoncraft which definitely gives off Kickstarter game vibes. It's complicated and has a lot of pieces and needs a lot of setup. That's what Kickstarter games look like.

It was fun all the same. I was figuring out how to game the game long about halfway through the play session we had. Chaos joined in just after we started and stayed still for the entire sesh, so win for board games... but not

Saturday, Parkrun and Pseuducku

I now know what to do to get Pseuducku online. I also know what happens when I hit the maximum of the free sample queries.

It's not a thing to worry about. Thank grop.

With luck on my side and maybe digging up a spoon to spare, I should get something online tonight or tomorrow.

I'm betting on tomorrow because I'm already pretty much shredded today.

Let's get on with the offerings.

Saturday, Parkrun and Progress PLNs

I am not working on ADT nor Pseuducku today. I'm also not working on them tomorrow. That is something of a relief, as I need a break from my own expectations.

Burnout prevention is very important.

Mayhem got a start on the first loaf, and I'll be finishing it off and working on the second one later today.

The offerings should be happening shortly.

...probably slower because a cat just settled on my left hand.

Saturday, Parkrun and Learning Journey

I have to admit, AI is here to stay. But that doesn't mean I'm going to use it very much. It's never doing my writing or art for me.

Beloved uses it for coding and I've been shown how terrifyingly good it is at doing that. And if I want Pseuducku to be playable this decade... I'll have to do that.

I still don't know how ethical it is, but... it's here to stay. If Beloved trusts it to write code, I

Saturday, Parkrun and Hairdo Stuff

I got my roots recoloured, and the whole QPP got their hair extravagandized. Miss Chaos just decided on a trim rather than more purple.

In parkrun news, I've managed another 5K without needing my cane. The physio is really effective.

I managed to finish a chapter whilst waiting for my colour process to finish, so there's another win.

I've decided to use PeerTube as backup for my VTTRPG VODs, and I can only hope that it works because those files are firkin

Saturday, Parkrun, Birthdays, and Continuing Nonsense

I'm still adjusting technology, and getting used to things, so there's no current timetable for my popular flash fiction reads on PeerTube.

The link for that is currently right at the bottom of my links menu. When I learn how to move those around again, it will be above my YouTube link over there.

I am a terrible Parental, in that I completely forgot about Chaos' birthday, yesterday. Made it up with some Steam gift cards, and there's a dinner at Outback

Saturday, Parkrun and PLNs

I did token sorting this week, so I'm testing myself next week by walking as far as I can before my heel starts to hate me.

We'll see how well that goes. Next week.

This week, I'm not running D&D so that I have time for Mother's Day stuff. She's getting more stash, some play time with my chainsaw, and a lift to acquire more stuff and things.

Meanwhile, an experiment in the Writer's Group has resulted in one of

Saturday, Parkrun and Technical Difficulties

Parkrun was a huge success for me. I repeated my experiment of walking without my cane to the halfway point, and then walking with support on the way back. I now have confirmation of the end of Volume Five of ADT so now all I need to do is fill in all the chapters between where I am and the two chapters I wrote for the very, very end.

Seventy-four chapters to go.

Meanwhile, I spilled a teeny tiny drop of beverage

Saturday, Parkrun and PLNs For Later

Beloved and Adorable are unfucking servers, today. In order to get the Catio similarly unfucked, my mission tomorrow is to go forth, abduct Beloved, and haul her back to do the thing.

Tomorrow... all being well and sincerely unfucked... I also get material things unfucked over here. Yay.

Finally, the kitties can wander to the catio and enjoy the fresher air and the glimpses of the birds. And use the litter tray in a less constrained atmosphere.

My offerings are due and

Saturday, Parkrun and Holy Days

I set out with the PLN to walk 2.5 kilometers without the use of my cane. Alas, my food quit somewhere along the 1.25-2 K mark, and I spent the rest of it limping along with support.

Better that than paying for it tomorrow.

Today marks the second week that I've been attempting to fix my messed up shoulder on my only. Heat and Deep Heat hasn't worked, possibly because nobody's available to do a good job on the dingdang

Saturday, Parkrun Volunteers Soaked

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

Saturday, Parkrun and Bread

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

Saturday, Parkrun and Date PLNs

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

Saturday, Parkrun Progress and Further PLNs

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
