Plague Diary

A 1694-post collection

Saturday, Parkrun, Leyland's Tour, and Heavy Stuff

The expedition to Captain S' old place was more of a scouting and planning mission than any serious unfucking.

We also found out how much had been "creatively borrowed" by members of the fam who thought they were entitled. Some old tools and Captain S' password book. Charming. Not.

Whoever nicked the password book potentially has access to what little money Captain S had in her account. What a "winner" this person was to choose to do that.

Quoth Beloved: "Have a nice time in Hell, hope it was worth it."

The people we trusted had added some unexpected padlocks so they could potentially raid the place whenever the flakk they wanted. At least that's the theory.

We're going to change them all at the earliest opportunity. Serves them right for being dillholes.

ANYway, I owe y'all some offerings and I plan on getting on with that before zonking out until I've had enough sleep for the night.

Tomorrow's streaming stuff is not on because (a) sick, and (b) really flakking tired. Also because resting my voice and hoping it finally recovers from all the coughing and sneezing.

Let's get on with getting on.

Friday, Shaking it off

My head doesn't hurt any more. Hooray. The sniffles are still present and my energy is low. Boo.

I should be okay for the plans involving tomorrow. Possibly with some added doses of caffeine.

I PLN to get a lot of sleep and a lot of fluids and hope for the best.

Story and offerings very soon.

I have at least one ready to go.

Thursday, in a lot of pain

One quarter of my face is in agony. My super painkillers seem to only keep it muted but don't make it go away.

I have a gigantic mug of tea, all my meds, and no help from the rest of the QPP.

I left a message at 3AM and as far as I know, it hasn't been looked at closer to 8AM. It's easy to feel ignored and neglected when there's no feedback.

I am planning to get the daily offerings done

Tuesday, Patreon, Recordings, and PLNs

I already posted the Patreon stuff in the wee small hours of the morning. It's all because I went to bed SUPER early last night and woke up somewhere between 10:30 and 11 PM that night.

I worked on a chapter, chatted with a friendo, and then it was just past midnight. Also, because I anticipated helping MeMum with a fuel run.

Which is not necessary after all. Hooray?

Which means I also have time to do other things... potentially.

And

Monday, PLNs and Reading

I have a limit of five chapters to read for Adorable. I am now also tasked with reading previous chapters for a "just in case" future in which we not only release the finished book(s) but also release a "director's cut" audio book.

It's a definite idea since everyone does audiobooks these days and I may not be able to afford a professional reader.

I'm still not worrying too hard about production values all the same. If something needs to be

Sunday, Tummy Bug?

I got struck down by a sickness this morning. The guts are feeling better as I type this, but I'm still feeling very weary.

It should plausibly pass by tomorrow.

The family economy is likely going to shit and I shall be finding out what happens when my meds run out if they're going that much to shit.

I can hope not, but I'm waiting for news about that on the topic.

Meanwhile, I get on with my PLNs as if I

Saturday, Out all day

We did parkrun, we did brunch, we came back for a shower and a change, we got our hair did and had dinner.

That's why this post is so late in appearing.

A whole day out and about. And to your eventual benefit, more chapters in A Devil's Tale

Current chapter count: paused for names and profiles in Chapter 306.

There's a limit to the number of times I add TK[Fix] to a WIP because otherwise I will let something slip

Friday, Sleepover PLNs

I think five chapters' worth of recording is going to be my limit. And to clear confusion, I am NOT podcasting them. I'm just sending them to Adorable and LATER sharing them with a fairly high tier on the Patreon.

I aim to do that between other things during the day.

Gonna do this blog, clean the catio, cook the Bikkie [this time with olive oil as well as the other stuff, just to see what happens], tidy up the front room,

Thursday, Game Night and Catching Up

I did indeed go offski to cuddle Beloved and spend some time. Lucky for me and my anxiety, Adorable had a busy day and didn't have the time to listen to any chapters.

I aim to get up to 20, and hope to get up to thirty red and recorded for her.

No stress though.

Turns out that Adorable's auditioning podcasts on weekends only, so I don't have to panic about having any stories recorded, edited, and ready to fling at people

Wednesday, Wordpress and Shopping

I forgot a few things when shopping yesterday, so I have to do a remedial shop today.

One among our prizes from yesterday was a cow tongue. Which Mayhem and I are going to turn into a very nice soup. He doubts that I've done this before, but I know I firkin did it.

Okay, yes, I did feed the kids pig tongue earlier, and they had zero objections. Miss Chaos even snaffled the tongue skins for snackage.

We need ingredients for

Tuesday, Payday, Shopping, and Supply Run

We shall have money today. Hooray. We need to pay for so much stuff. Boo. We've run out of a lot of things and stocking up is going to be a BITCH.

BUT it also has to be done. I can only hope that we can afford a little more than the minimums because running out of that before payday hurts me in the anxiety.

I'm keeping an eye on our bank account and hoping to all higher powers that the money

Monday, Doctor's and Debts

It's going to cost us money we don't have yet before I even get my medication. This sucks.

Why the FUCK do we keep trying to be USA Lite?

Sigh.

I am watching the clock and consider myself ready to launch. I shall be doing the biggest offering of the day in the afternoon.

...at least they aren't making us pay to go into the doctor. Only after we get out. [Don't give them ideas dangit]

I can explain we have money

Sunday, Streaming and Enshittification

My GP in their ultimate wisdom and lack of government funding have had to charge $75 Dollarydoos per visit. Which I cannot afford on the Monday I have scheduled because payday the next day. Whee.

So when I visit, I'll clear the later payment with them and FOR SURE come visit before I go to the nearest petbarn, Food Emporium, and whatever bits-and-piecery we need for the fortnight in order to stock up on necessities.

Not necessarily in that order. I will

Saturday, Parkrun and The Barbie Movie

The planned shenanigans had the plan implode so the four of us [Beloved, Adorable, Miss Chaos, and I] zipped off to see Barbie starring Margot Robbie.

My recommend: WATCH. IT.

It's meta and philosophical and heartwarming and hilarious and it doesn't even matter that Will "I was hot shit on Saturday Night Live" Farrel is in it. As a character, he's effectively useless and just is there to draw in the SNL fanboys. Strictly IMHO.

It's also got some very subversive things
