The blood test was a fasting test, so I am just now sitting down to breakfast at 7:30 with a hole in my arm.
I have yet to write for the Promptcast or the Archive, so I'll be focussing on that before I get to today's tale.
I got a lot of writing ahead of me... so of fucking course I'm having focus issues.
On with the tikkatakka.
Someone left the Promptcast [as is their right] and took their wordcount with them. I read it as leaving in a huff and throwing a tanty about things they weren't allowed to say or do. Especially some of the things said about Generative AI.
I don't know what their bugbear on that is, and it's ultimately not important.
The issue is that the person who did that has moved over to the Archive. Bad habits and all.
I've warned the Archive's presenter/

I have to check my stuff, but I'm pretty sure there's some to share with my Patrons.
Tomorrow... I may yet be late putting anything up because I'm due to take MeMum out on errands and then do some tech support. Huzzah.
The Promptcast hopes to put the second

I don't know if I'm doing Patreon and Rants this week. I'll see how I feel after I return from my excursion.
I am feeling very tired about feeding that beast.
BUT I also want to make sure the chapters are recorded and ready to share.
I also have

If Mayhem complains, he can go down to Aldi and get a big tin on his own money.
I have things to send out to my Patrons today, the offerings to gift fresh to my audience, and perhaps some free time to

Combo of a productive 1AM and this morning's ice session. Huzzah.
May today be just as productive.
I also have a story to read so that tomorrow's video will be prepped and ready to launch. Fingers crossed, I stay that much on top of things.

So does today. I have things to deliver unto Patreon. I have a story to create, the meme to participate in... and so many shiny projects to work on.
I think I'll give the Patreon Patrons a page at a

One of the things I spent my birthday money on is Death Stranding (Director's Cut) and I plan on spending at least a couple of hours on the spooky walking simulator for virtual hiking and chill.
Somewhere along the way, I also have to fill my Patreon with whatever I

In a few minutes, I'll start working on my offerings for the interwebs.
I've got the starter in the incubator and the first batch of ingredients weighed and waiting. I'm going to have to reserve some hours for cleaning the gluck off/out of my keyboard. Now that I know how to use the keypick, I can do that.
I now have a

This morning was a little on the rough side. Awake and productive at 1AM, unable to rest but sleepy by 3AM. Awake at some point after my morning alarm went off.
I'm determined to look after myself. Which can be a little bit of an emotional drag when I'd much

So it's time to bust out this little chestnut:

On one hand - more to share with my

I'm in a conference call with another writer's group. They like my nonsense so we're having a good old gasbag.
In betwixt chatting, I shall attempt to create fiction. I'll see how I go with that.
Story happening whenever I can wrangle that thing.

I can do this. I know I can do this... but the inertia to get started is too real.
And of course I have Pippi running

Another one is knowing how to do the thing by hand.
Anyway. We're down to the last loaf of my bread, so I know what I'm doing for the next three days. Yes! Two firkin batches of bread because Chaos has managed to engulf an entire loaf in

I'll be recording those very, very soon.
The good news is that most of a chapter I was recording at implosion is still there! I just need to loop in half a sentence and then, as Jukebox the Ghost sang, I am off to the races.
I also need to go fetch a new cable to
