Plague Diary

A 1641-post collection

Wednesday, Wordpress and Milestone

Today, I am writing my four thousandth story. I'm going to be spending some of my spondooly in getting that thing out to as many eyes as possible.

That will be happening later. For now, I do the minor tasks in waiting to go get all the things we need for the interim.

I managed to bork my wrists before I was done getting dressed. Mayhaps my morning routine needs to do the wrist stretchies before I put on my new knee bracers.

I got things wrapped around four of my joints this morning. AND a cyclone headache. Ow.

Not gonna be a fun day out for me. I am in a lot of pain. I've taken the relevant meds, and they take five-ever to kick in. IF they kick in.

At least the bracers are keeping the joint pain to a minimum.

Shops are opening soon. I think I can maybe get the meme out before I have to launch.

Let's get on with that.

Tuesday, Tech Support Excursion

Patreon and all my other offerings will be LATE today. Because the instant I finish my morning routine, I'm offski to MeMum's for extended tech support and budget wrangling.

It's going to be interesting times, as Mum has just broken something else in her new TV.

And to top it all off, I have a cyclone headache this morning. Huzzah.

Of course I've taken my painkillers. I can drive with one of these bastard heads and have done so before. With good

Monday, Tale Foundry Reads, Continuing Technical Issues

My writing group is sharing their diverse tales today. A thing that will likely keep me until the afternoon.

In the meantime, I shall be doing my stretchies, working on the entry for next week, recording a chapter of Adapting, and maybe doing something for Chapter 353 of A Devil's Tale while I'm at it.

Perhaps even some minor tweaking to my work in Stencyl too.

Tomorrow is the day I don't have scheduled obligations, so that's the day I sally forth

Sunday, Stream Stuff and Things

I just finished the game stream, and am doing my pre-literature stretchies. Following Tale Foundry's stream, I shall get on with the daily tale.

Chapter Count: Finished Ch 352, about to commence 353. Getting closer and closer to my arbitrary limit where I believe I should wrap things up and finish up the dang STORY.

But I also have some plot to resolve in there as well, so I'm not going to rush too hard. And there's a lot of book 4

Saturday, Parkrun Without QPP

Beloved and Adorable are in foreign climes, so it was just Chaos and I for the parkrun. Mayhem doesn't want to join the cult the activity and that's his choice.

Sigh.

The good news is that APM is getting Mayhem some saleable work skills. I already put my hand up for anything he can teach me. You never know what might come in handy.

I'm doing my stretchies before moving on to my daily offerings. In between Jolie smudging for attention, because

Friday, Finishing Preparations

I did one thing I've been planning to do for literal years and it's a Crimbo present. Yay. Not saying anything more about that because spoilers. I can only hope that it's welcome when received.

I've done my stretchies, cleaned out the catio, and fed the felines. In a few short minutes, I shall start with my regular nonsense. Including the Stencyl stuff and some chapter recordings. AND The Bikkie.

I am not going anywhere and doing very much but my work

Thursday, Tyre Resolution Impending

I have until three this afternoon to get my shit together and present my offerings to the temple of notes.

THEN I poddle off and maybe get my tyre fixed. And perhaps work on another chapter of A Devil's Tale.

I just finished chapter 350 by the way.

I detailed my epic tyre shenanigans over on my Wordpress which was a frustrating fury at the time. Especially with the clock running out for Mayhem's appointment.

I should have the wherewithall to record

Wednesday, Wordpress and Tyre Things

I'm going to pop up to the shops for a small couple of things. So it's ideal to get the tyre looked at.

Mayhem has a job-related appointment this afternoon. I can only hope that the tyre is set to rights before I need to go a-roving.

Cross your fingers. I am offski very soonish to go place and do thing.

With all good luck, the offerings should be arriving relatively close to what passes for "on time" with me.

Let's see

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

Monday, Supplemental Expedition

I have a list. I have hopes that I will be able to fill it out today with little in the way of trouble.

Just a few things. Should be easy.

Never firkin is.

Also kind'a sorta sick of poking the kids into thinking of others during the season. One last half-hearted nudge and I surrender.

Let them do as they whist.

I am going to head offski to the shops RSN. Local supermarket should have everything I'm looking for, all being

Sunday, Stream Stuff and Sleeps

I have done my stretchies, I have DM'd a session. I am about to commence my story stream. After I've done my instant fiction, I shall get some nap time in because this is pretty tiring no matter what I do.

That second cup of coffee is wearing off and I shall definitely need a napnap before posting.

Offerings shall be out in the open some time after I wake up.

Tomorrow, I brave the zombie hordes of Crimbo Shopping to get

Saturday, Parkrun Off, Hairdressing On

It's a threat of rain and we don't want Adorable getting ANOTHER bout of pneumonia. She's had plenty before we grouped up.

We're still getting our hair done at a later point today. I need more of my special conditioner, since I'm fresh out this morning.

I may be running a Candy Heist session at some point while Beloved and Adorable are offski overseas. The map-making has commenced. I'll see how quickly I can whip that stuff up.

I have a chance

Friday, Preparation PLNs, Unfucking, and Other Things(tm)

I am gathering lists of things to acquire, places to go to get them, and maybe even the budget for doing all of that. Fun.

My aim is to get as many non-perishables or freezables as possible so I can avoid as much pre-holiday zombie hordes as I can.

Mayhem's making two pies. He can keep those cool or frozen before the Big Day(tm). Finally got some ideas out of Miss Chaos, so now I can concoct a PLN. Yay.

I

Thursday, Expedition and STUFF

Mum's having technical issues with her birthday present so THIS nerd is going cross-country to unmuckle whatever mess she's found herself tangled in.

Huzzah.

I have my darling dearest for one more night before Convoluted Shenanigans that include her holiday overseas with Adorable. And me moving the booze from the tiny fridge so that I have room for Crimbo Food(tm)

So my offerings may be later than expected. As long as I get one per diem out, all is well.

Wednesday, Wordpress and Shrink Stuff

I just finished a telehealth session for my braining issues. And I still have braining issues.

I know I have a bad habit of overcommitting to various projects and then burning myself out. I can potentially recognise when it's happening, but... not. That. Well.

So I have my offerings to do, and maybe shopping if I can focus long enough to get the offerings done.

Wish me luck on that.

Despite stretchies, my wrists are starting to hurt. Dangit. I probably need
