Thursday, A Need for Pick-Me-Ups

I have had some issues with Appointment Inertia1 when Mayhem's working. So I don't get to sit down for my offerings until the afternoon.

Tomorrow, I'm camping up at Mayhem's workplace so I theoretically have more time to do things. Meanwhile, I am soothing my current emotional issues with carbage.

It's Pride this weekend and because Adorable is volunteering at Parkrun, we're not doing the march. We are, however, turning up for the fair.

I shall be putting up my buttons-so-far over in my Pseuducku gallery, and what they're meant to be. That'll be happening very soon.

I draw them in ProCreate, export them to my GoogDrive, and then download them on my main compy before I post them or use them anywhere. That takes a while when I have other shenanigans going on.

Let's get on with the shenanigans I get up to on my main compy, now that I'm here.

  1. I have a Thing happening at X-o'clock and therefore I can't do anything until that's done. ↩

Wednesday, Rant Day and Sideways Day

I'm still on my coffee, pills, and vegemite soup. Mayhem just called for a retrieval so I'm doing what I can to get underway but I still have to finish my doses.

In an hour or so, there will be an update about my PLNs. Stay tuned.

Update:

I have returned from my journey so now I can figure out what the flying heck I'm doing with my remaining time. I'm running out of things to recommend, but I think I shall

Tuesday, Errands Done and Further PLNs

I dropped Beloved off just in time for the train. I finished tormenting my feet, then hauled my butt all over everywhere to get a few necessities. Including more meds for my asthma. Huzzah.

I even have a lot of good feedback about Pseuducku.

Now I have to find and devote some time to drawing the missing buttons and, perhaps, working on some interactivity. One baby step at a time.

I am going to put my offerings out there, including the Patreon

Monday, Pseuducku Progress and Stream

I have a stream going in a handful of minutes, and I have a new entry in the Pseuducku Progress Log. Huzzah. I am now moving on to general layout questions. I might have to ask them individually.

...that's a pain in the anatomy for another day.

Today, I shall be streaming a flash fiction! Yay!

Tonight, I shall have a date night with Beloved! Also Yay!

For the rest of today, I shall attempt to de-stress from the meltdown I had

Sunday, Roadblock on Pseuducku

I have been trying to get an answer on one thing for THREE. DAYS.

I

Want

To

CRY

I just wanted to know which background colour made the better button. Black background or white background. I got information about literally everything else but that one simple choice.

I'll try this way:

Which version makes a better button to your eye? The one with the black background or the one with the white background?

To make things easier, I used the same bird

Saturday, Parkrun, Game Night, and Game Morning

I survived with my feet intact, found a very nice place to have brunch, and managed to avoid getting feedback on the Pseuducku mockup. My tester didn't read the accompanying text, methinks.

I'm sharing a game with one pack of maniacs tonight, and another very early tomorrow morning. Fun times ahoy!

I'm saving on exercise shoe money by living all summer in my new orthotic sandals. They work wonders, even if my toes get froze in air conditioning. Thus saving me from

Friday, Baking Day and Further Shenanigans

Mayhem's still recovering so I've got the bread underway. My scales behaved, my dough behaved, everything seems to be working out except the familial health thing.

There's another progress log entry over on Pseuducku development to see which button "reads" better for the specific purpose of knowing which ducks are used up.

When I know that, I can work on different mock-ups. Which will include finding out which ducks look better when placed in the field.

For today, I shall be cleaning

Thursday, Bread in Progress

Mayhem's crook, so I have time to make bread. The starter's incubating, the chia's soaking, and everything is weighed and measured out for the folding and fermenting.

Which is a good thing because I need to make bread.

I'm finishing my stretchies up, so I'll be doing my offerings soon. Then to work on a mock-up for Pseuducku. All to test what the buttons should look like.

Let's see how far I get, today.

Luck be with me, I should have a

Wednesday, Rant Soon?

I just about finished off my meds and doses, and I got the text from Mayhem to come fetch him back home. I'm still finishing off my morning soup.

I'll run and go fetch him real soon.

When I get back... It's daily offerings, the rant, and maybe even time enough to muck around with GameMaker.

Whatever.

I am taking chill time.

But first... a fetch quest.

Tuesday, Free? Time?

I got shopping to do, Patreon posts to make [I forgot again], offerings to create and some chapters to record. I also have some mock-ups to create and test.

I also have to re-size my prototype since I've made a mistake regarding the screenie, all so I can create a mock-up for the progress part of my Pseuducku logs.

Kind of feeling a little lucky that Beloved's in crunch time and I have the hours to spare.

I have a knack of

Monday, Shenanigans ::Jazz Hands::

I woke tired this morning. Feeling wrung out, strung out, and maybe a smidgeon touch-starved. A hug has helped my emotional 'tanks'.

Started going on Max, and then had Mayhem turn up telling me it was time to take off. I'm back on Max as I speak. JUST ABOUT THREE HOURS LATER.

Because Mayhem applied for flexible hours and got them just as I was half an hour out. Ish. I then had to turn around, fetch Mayhem, and then drive home.

Sunday, Bridge to Brisbane

I have checked the weather and wearing the long excercise pants would boil my thunder thighs. So today is the first day of...

::dramatic sting::

Summer Wear

This in combo with the pure polyputthekettleon branded shirt means that I will be a lather by the time I reach the finish line. Also the world will be mercilessly exposed to my pasty white hairy legs. Deal with it.

And I'm only doing the 5K walk because I know I'm capable. I need to

Saturday, Health Update and PLNs

After days and days of applying goanna oil heat cream combined with careful stretching, the corks in my calves have vanished. Huzzah.

Just in time for me to cork them again doing the 5K walk in the Bridge to Brisbane tomorrow. Look for my dumb pink hat if you find footage of it.

I'm still finding out how I'm going to get there on time. Travel is going to be "interesting" tomorrow.

Today... I'm dealing with a Cyclone Headache [taken my meds,

Friday, Lo Batt Issues

I gotta clean the catio today. I have to go fetch Mayhem at some point. I'm behind on my imaginary progress with Pseuducku because I didn't do jack about making a thing happen for/in it.

And you know what?

Screw it.

If I need a breather, I'm taking a breather. If I want to relax, I'm going to relax. If I need sleep, I'm taking a nap.

If I need hugs... I'll try to arrange more time with the QPP.

I'm

Thursday, Further Disorganisation

So here's my day so far:

  • Wake late and commence the self-care regimes
  • Foot torture and commence stretches
  • Drive Mayhem to work
  • Drive home
  • Attempt to complete stretches
  • Phone call from Mayhem
  • Drive there and back again to fetch Mayhem
  • Complete stretches and half a chapter.

and now it's 2 in the afternoon and I am just now getting to today's blog entry. Offerings very soon, I should hope.

I also hope to figure out buttons in Gamemaker, but I'll probably end
