Breakfast was delayed this morning because someone used the last of the olive oil and didn't inform me about it. So I had to send Chaos up to the local Woolies for some more. Turns out Woolies overcharges for oil.
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 claim for pay.
If I don't get rolling on that now, I won't get my treat time.
I forgor what day of the week it was (((: I seriously thought it was Tuesday. I was planning to do Patreon stuff and all.
At least I have more ready for the day, I guess.
The Promptcast has two casts so I've dipped off the Archive reads to watch the Promptcast, and I still have the last week to catch up on. I aim to be doing that today.
I don't mind getting stories out of order.
Meanwhile, drawing friend is still
Read more »The Archive is reading stories, and soon the PromptCast will be reading stories. I have new sandals (yay) and some half-baked PLNs to alter the old ones.
And I have reverted to writing just a little of ADT first thing on waking up. It keeps things moving forward. And increases my chances of having a chapter complete for my Patrons.
My story shall happen in between paying attention to the streams.
The good news is that there is now a fix to
Read more »My sandals have fallen undone for the last firkin time, so now I'm on the hook for getting another set. And also attempting to find them is going to involve wearing the shit set because they're the only set I have.
At least I can get one to stay on if I wear the ankle brace. Sort of.
I also have bread in progress so I may even wait until the first loaf of the day is done and the next is
Read more »Miss Chaos needs more slobwear. And hefty instructions on how to make her clothing last. Maybe re-enforced with some parental haranguing.
I also need a mouse to make my lappy work because the trackpad has decided it doesn't like me. I have what I call "Random Clickitis" that calls functions/things I had never wanted. Often while I'm typing.
Adorable is trying to help me out by extreme remote - she's in Melbourne with Beloved doing a meet&greet to organise
Read more »I know what the next prompt for the Archive is, so I've written that story far in advance. Now I just got to trim it town to the allotted amount of words.
No pressure.
The catio is fixed, at last. Necessitating a trip to Bunnings to get the aviary clips, but it was done yesterday afternoon and the cats are once more secure indoors. Huzzah.
[Shown here, a mesh patch over existing mesh, held on with crimped aviary clips]

[Shown here, plastic garden mesh with a huge hole in it. Concrete and plants are visible through it]
It's aviary clips. I've bought them via click and collect and will collect them when prompted to do so.
In about four hours. When the full heat is on the day.
So my options are: Wait until the day cools off and do that, or... wait until early the following morning
Read more »Pippi has figured out how to escape the fucking catio. Part of my ongoing mission now is to figure out how she gets out and what we can do to fix that shit.
So I gotta put on clothes, go to Costco, and get another slab of eggs at least.
THEN there's detective work on the catio to figure out.
So... whatever is happening online today? It's happening whenever.
Read more »The folks at the Archive missed me, so that's where I'm spending my morning hours. And it gives me a chance to procrastinate on sallying forth and getting more stuff.
I need a new stand mixer, and I need a new stash of rice, as well as flour for the ginger bikkies that I plan on gifting the fam.
I'm thinking about rolling some in 100's and 1000's just to see what happens, but I don't think it'll work out like I'm
Read more »The Archive is not streaming this week. The Promptcast is. Meanwhile, I'm allegedly working on my main offerings.
I shall endeavour to have some play time today. Rather than diving wholesale into shiny and spicy fanfic. I have no idea how well that's going to work, though.
The fanfic is fun... but not play
In the FuckMyLife Files, the stand mixer that has done excellent service since my smols were SMOL... has decided to give up the ghost. So my future travels
Read more »I'm juggling bread, icing my ankle, and the usual story stuff, today.
And one side project is very shiny and distracting.
BUT I also hope to have a few hours at the end of the day to meddle around in a long-format game. Either Sexy Vampire Game or Hideo Kojima's Pizza Delivery Interactive Movie.
I dunno.
I'll see what I can do whilst at the mercy of various timers.
Read more »Today's off to a fantastic beginning. My mentee decided to post after asking for help and not waiting for it. My mum's blacked out and dreading the heatwave. Miss CHAOS cooked up a week's worth of mince in two goes and let it rot, so I have to replace that shit.
...and I have a doctor's appointment today.
In a few minutes, actually.
So if I'm off the radar for the rest of the day, you know I had to go rescue
Read more »It was nasty, yesterday, and after getting so far, I decided to stay home instead of dropping off Miss Chaos and soldiering on. I have physio today, so that's an excuse to continue the Leyland's Tour and get all the things we need to keep the house going.
It promises to be just as nasty today, alas. But we still need stuff and things.
I've not been feeling the video production of late. Progress is happening slowly, there. I might have something
Read more »We're almost out of eggs. We're certainly out of bacon. I need flour and things because the kids are tearing through my bread.
So that's part of today's agenda.
I have to think up what I'm ranting about today.
I'm reviewing Archive tales before the time comes to launch on the Leyland's tour. Just so I can get my points in to be sure I have a chance to get read.
And I'm keeping track of my words now to see how
Read more »I did my video prep before commencing, and I already did some 1AM writing because I have once again fucked up my sleep schedule.
At least I got a chapter finished. Twenty-six chapters to go.
I got some things to share with my Patrons, yay.
But first, I need to make one more thing to entertain my Patrons with, and that shall be the Podcast prompt. Since I still can't fucking figure out the Archive prompt. There's still time. I will get
