Plague Diary

A 1901-post collection

Monday, Patreon and Stream and...

I need to track down one doctor and make an appointment with them. I have to create an appointment with my regular doctor for my asthma meds. I need to run my stream, post my Patreon stuff, push forward my offerings...

I'm a very busy bean. I might even delay the Patreon stuff to tomorrow, since I can't have a day with Beloved because driving.

Augh...

Mayhem needs to talk to people about brain issues, but one of his brain issues is motivation to do what's good for him -_-

At least I have fresh bread, now in their paper bags and in the fridge.

I should be focussing on my Patreon posts and alternate offerings before the stream.

Sunday, Stream Shenanigans and Bread

I have my first loaf proofing in the incubator. I managed to run a session where all four hours were combat. Well. Combat and setting up for combat. There were a lot of mobs to juggle.

So after some tea and a nap, I'm back up and ready to rave onwards. Huzzah.

After the daily offerings and bread, there's another game tonight. Assuming all goes well. Then it's back to what passes for normal and fitting my work in between other things.

Saturday, Parkrun and Stream PLNs

Did Southbank parkrun properly this time, and I swear that thing is uphill in all directions. Ow.

Brisbane Geography for the win?

My feet hurt and my legs hate me and I'm having ice cream as compensation. Story very soon.

I have my starter in the incubator and, given that I fed them on Thursday, haven't bothered with the Bikkie step. I'm checking on it on the hour and hoping this helps me streamline dough.

Wish me luck on that one.

I'm

Friday, House of Pestillence

Mayhem didn't listen to my good advice on shaking his lurgi. He's taking that good advice today. By Monday, he'll be back at work.

I'm going to try Stencyl again. Unriddling the sound issue is a complicated problem that includes converting files to other formats and stripping their metadata. I tried finding or making copies of the extant sound files, but... that's something I must mess about with.

I will find a way.

Maybe not today, maybe not next week, but I

Thursday, Software Updates and Lurgi

Mayhem's got a rhinovirus. If it's the same rhinovirus I had a while ago, he'll be back on his feet tomorrow.

I have a software update and drive cleanout on the first of every month, so I may be delayed on my offerings because restart-a-thon.

I'm on the refining layer of my fanart of a fanfic of a fanart happening after I've done my half a chapter during my stretchies. There's two panels refined out of five. I might even drag my

Wednesday, Rant Day and Crowded Schedule Once More

It's just after Midday and I just got back from my shenanigans today. Mayhem's over his tummy bug and hoping he doesn't get sick again. Lad used to be proud of his ability to not get sick, but it turns out that it was mostly due to not leaving his room too often.

Lad needs to get his flu shots and look after himself a little better. BUT he also needs to come to that realisation himself because he just won't firkin

Tuesday, Sniffoos and Patreon

I forgot the Patreon stuff yesterday. Mayhem still has tummy trouble and there's a package in the mail for me at the post box. And I got the sniffoos.

Bleh.

The parcel can wait until I feel better about my part in life. Maybe tomorrow.

Today, I need to focus long enough to get the Patreon stuff up, do my offerings, and maybe pick a side-project to do jiggery-pokery on.

Maybe tomorrow, I will have the wherewithall to go to place and

Monday, Day of Rest(ish)

Mayhem's picked up a tummy bug, so I don't have to drive. The downside for him is that he has no paid time off. Bummer.

I am going to live relatively luxuriously for those four extra hours today.

There's no backup readings today because the person running the streams couldn't read anything this week. So now the sundry authors of the Archive are milling around in Discord and talking about random nonsense.

Cannibalism, flesh horse, poison, vampires, and so on.

I shall

Sunday, Stream Shenanigans and Browser Tricks

TIL that the trouble with GoogDocs and Firefox is not one that is mine and mine alone. Other folks are having similar issues.

Meanwhile, I can plausibly move all my GoogDocs to Zoho Writer, which does more or less the same things but without being as nasty as Google is at doing anything useful.

My problem now is finding the time and energy to transfer the files. I can theoretically upload them from my GoogDrive, but that is an experiment for another

Saturday, Parkrun, Sore Feet, and Stream PLNs

I had a good parkrun, it was afterwards that nonsense went sideways. The original pln was to pull in, drop off the tower, and scoot off before the delivery people arrived so there'd be room to bring in the new freezer.

At no point was I told that Beloved and Adorable wanted to come with me to my beta destination - the New Farm Confectionary Company.

There, my lovely readers, you can get Espresso Caramels. AKA "Coffee Toffee" to Miss Chaos and

Friday, Preparations Ahoy

This afternoon, after I have Mayhem back home, I am packing my old rig in the boot. All the better to deliver to Adorable on the following morrow.

Tomorrow: I go on parkrun, enjoy brunch with the fam, deliver the tower, and then make my offerings before catching a slep. And THEN I might just be doing a D&D sesh as the DM in the wee smol NEXT morning.

Wheeeee...

Mayhem has PLNs to redecorate his entire dang room to

Thursday, Shopping Done, Light Expectations

Squeezing tasks out of minutes to spare included a brief Leyland's Tour for household supplies. I am finally back and about to make my offerings.

I have a Starter to feed, the harvest of that to bake, a treato to ingest, and all my daily offerings as well as attempting to make a thing firkin work.

Yes, I have come full circle with attempting to make Stenycyl work again :P

I will hit that thing with a hammer, so help me.

Onwards

Wednesday, Rant Day & Shopping PLNs

I think I shall give a shout-out to Girl Genius today. Tomorrow, I go get supplies after I drop off Mayhem and hope for enough time to chill thereafter.

Results may be negligible.

I'm going to go jiggery-pokering around in Stencyl later today if I have the time. If not, I'll check another month of tags on the app-to-be.

That's usually pretty fast.

Mayhem's having his doubts about his job. I told him he should at least give himself a chance to

Tuesday, Fewer Hours

Mayhem had a later start this morning and an earlier finish this arvo. I have less hours for my assorted shenanigans today. Including making sure Owlbear works on OBS with everything else.

I have yet to work out KittyCam for my writing stream, and using the intro timer as well.

Baby steps.

Today, my priority is the offerings first, then a little screwing around in Stencyl. Just to have my chart picked in the new colour. If I ragequit Stencyl before the

Monday, Interesting Week Ahead

The backup reads are going on, I have to set up OBS for my streams, and I have more chapters to read for Adorable. I have Patreon posts to get out there and I am already highly distracted by nonsense on my desk.

At least I have my meds and daily doses taken care of.

I'll figure out ways to cram it all in. Somehow.

And this week, I'm still spending every day on two two-hour round trips. Yaaayyyy...

Wish me luck,
