Tuesday, Patreon and Bread

I've measured out everything but my Starter, which is currently incubating in preparation for the autolyse. I have 170g of chia soaking in 800g of water for the duration.

I know the traditional wire tool for bread [Called a "Dough Whisk" I have just now learned] is not good for mixing flour and soaked chia because the sticky goop just gets stuck in the cracks and it's nigh impossible to shift. I shall try "chopping in" the flour and mix with the large bowl scraper and see how that goes.

It's raining HEAVILY this morning, so I expect internet problems. Since most of my day is devoted to bread, I shall dedicate my spare hours to map-making in DungeonDraft. I need a fire lit under my bum on that count anyway.

Bread is good enough motivation to do that.

Story and Meme coming soon. Patreon post soon after.

Tuesday, Patreon and Errands

Mayhem's got an appointment this afternoon. I have stuff to post on Patreon. I have offerings to make for y'all's entertainment.

I've put my nebulous PLNs to make bread today on hold. I'll have way more time for that tomorrow.

We should get paid today, and that will be a breath of fresh air. If I have the funds when Mayhem's in transit, I'll get the supplies on the way home.

Otherwise, I'll have to do all of that on Wednesday. Perhaps

Tuesday, Patreon, Gravel, and a Day Off

The gravel was announced before I was done with my stretchies. So I had to hurry up. Paused stretchies, put on my knees, put on my pants, fed the cats, roused the kids, and set up for a stakeout.

I was just ready to sit and write and wait when the crane truck turned up.

We now have 400kg (62 stone + 14 lbs) of gravel which, I hope and pray, will do great things towards making the swamp less of a swamp,

Tuesday, Patreon and Shenanigans

I'm off on a Leyland's Tour at an unknown hour today, and I'm already prepped for that much running around. Mayhem is currently sound asleep and I could not wake him enough to get the time of take-off.

I can only hope that he wakes up with enough time to act appropriately.

Meantime, I have made an important discovery about my self-maintenance routine.

It can take up to an HOUR. Two if I need more time to ease the aches and pains

Tuesday, Patreon and the Morbs

The Morbs(n): A feeling of ennui, depression, and generalised gloominess in which the possessor wonders whether there's a point to continuing. In brief, listless, lackluster depression.

I.

Have.

The Morbs.

I just feel like I'm doing so much for so little in the way of rewards. I posted about that on Tumblr this morning. It's so rough getting out of bed on days like this.

I will have better days. Knowing that is the only reason why I fought to get

Tuesday, Boxing Day and All the Fun Times

I got bogged trying to return my car to the shed, got a neighbour's help getting it out and safe, and I now have some lovely wheel holes in my lawn.

Other than the bogging event, we had a relatively quiet celebration with all the usual things. Gifts, tableside debates, and WAAAAYYYY too much food despite my best efforts to prevent that happenstance.

I went overboard on the acquisition side. Again.

BUT we have plenty of unsuitable food to nom on. For

Tuesday, Patreon and Tyre Shenanigans

There is something wrong with one of my practically-new tyres :P So I have to go to a tyre place to get it checked out at a later point in time.

If I have to run out and get a thing, that's when I'll go. Try to keep as much of my money as I can for as long as I'm able. That sort of thing.

I've done my stretchies, and I shall be scattering progress all over my Patreon in just

Tuesday, Patreon and Payday

My PLNs today are mostly to stay at home and get on with getting on. Such as recording more chapters, making my offerings, posting my Patreon stuff, and maybe even finishing the chapter I started yesterday.

I gotta do my stretchies before I get into that stuff though.

That's the good thing about watching videos whilst waiting for my painkillers to kick in [oh btw I got a cyclone headache]. It gives me time to do those stretchies in full.

We get

Tuesday, Patreon, Reads, and Other Tricks

Finally moved on to the next tutorial for Stencyl, and they have fucking MOVEMENT CODE for the mobs on the NEXT GORRAM PAGE.

...fuck...

I'll see what copying that code does for my extant Invaders game. Later today.

Once again, I woke up super early, but I at least had the sense to do my stretchies before setting to committing literature.

I still borked my wrists :P

BUT I have made some progress with Stencyl and shall be making an effort with

Tuesday, Patreon, Chapters, and Owwies

I borked my wrists by finishing off chapter 341, this morning. So I can't do my stretchies because the bracers prevent that mobility.

I'm still too dumb to make Stencyl do a thing. I'm going to direct copy the code from someone and untick my failcode to see if that works. Next week. This week, my lovely Patrons hear about all my efforts at failing.

Yay.

I'm going to try and be gentle with myself today. Attempt to keep my offerings brief.

Tuesday, Patreon and OW

I have started my day with a cyclone headache. Whee fun.

I just used the stretches page I found before I started in with typing today. See how that goes. Tomorrow, I may actually follow the stretching instructions properly instead of going with what I felt was cool.

Even done wrong, it seems to be working.

I have a lot of things for my Patrons, but I really want to finish the chapter I started before I get on with that.

I

Tuesday, Patreon, Readings, and Pickup

All going well, I collect my Beloved for more cuddle times. Huzzah.

Chapter Count: Finished Chapter 335. So that means another spate of reading for Adorable.

...I did not make any adjustments in Stencyl, yet. Honestly, Patreon day reminds me to try things instead of putting them off.

Alas, the solution I found was not working. Further digging is necessary.

I will find a way to make it work. Eventually.

Speaking of 'eventually', I should get a wriggle on with the nonsense

Tuesday, Patreon and Workload

I have completed five more chapters of A Devil's Tale, so I'll be reading some of that rather than more of Adapting. I can only read one chapter of Adapting a day and have my throat still want to know me by nighttime. ADT has much shorter chapters so I can do five of those per diem.

I really borked the programming attempts with Stencyl, so I'll have to use screencaps to regress to the previous stage of nearly working. None of

Tuesday, Patreon and Busy Bean

My Beloved has a lot of shenanigans tomorrow. So I shall be working by remote. I have a lot to share with my peeps on Patreon, today. It feels like I've bitten off more than I can chew.

I gotta do it so that I shall have less waiting for me to do. More gets done, less left to do. Theoretically.

There's still a huge pile, but I shall nibble it away in good time. I hope.

Doing what I can with

Tuesday, Patreon and Sundry PLNs

I'm in the procrasti-nation this week. Just started working on the entry for the Foundry. I have NO idea where I'm going for the All Hallow's Read.

All going well, I get some quality time with Beloved tonight and tomorrow.

That's the highlight of the week, if I must be honest.

I have sore wrists this morning, so I shall be longer about my nonsense than usual.

Trying to finish up the Foundry entry before I get on with the rest of
