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 up resizing the art assets I want to use as buttons.

Onwards to the offerings.

Wednesday, Rant Due and Shaking the Debuffs

I am smearing so many products on myself and swallowing so many others. I smear stuff on my corked calves to try and get them to firkin RELAX. I smear stuff on my hair to keep the colours looking neat. I smear stuff on my face to stop large chunks of it flaking off. And there's the more normal smearing of stuff on my teeth to keep them clean.

There's one medication I inhale, and that's my preventer.

I won't go into

Tuesday, Patreon Perhaps and Pseuducku

I have a day of minimal expectations, so of course I'm piling expectations on myself.

I have updated my Pseuducku pages. Check it out if you're interested. I encourage my user base [Hi, Mum!] to do that. It's linked in the Menu.

I think I'll be sharing a fanfic with my Patrons in order to plump out the yield this week. I don't have a lot of Archive work either and I am trying to not feel bad about this.

The time

Monday, Errands Ahoy

I don't have a story to share with the Archive today, and I need to get stuff and things at place. So therefore I am headed out to get all the things we need.

Might be a pinch, this week. Because I had to pay for my hair, because Beloved got an e-bike for the work commute. A necessary expenditure, true. But also a hecking expenditure. A needful dent in the wall of money between us and a true disaster.

I like

Sunday, Catching up

I owe y'all two stories, today. Two starter sentences. And two WIP memes over on the Fediverse.

I'll be getting on with that very soon. But first - Riverfire!

Pro tip: Do not schedule a hair appointment in Caboolture on the same day you're plotting to see Riverfire. Just. Don't.

We wanted to see the jet flyover, but the traffic was INSANE. I couldn't even get to parking before sunset turned the sky dim. Poor Adorable had a fight over ill-timed alleged

Friday, Extra Time and Distractions

Mayhem has an upset tumtum this morning, so I don't need to spend four hours on the road, dodging maniacs.

I still have to clean the catio, but I am going to focus on my offerings and work on Pseuducku. I have 64-pixel assets and 32-pixel assets. I shall be figuring out how to make the game boards at the very least.

We shall see.

I'll stop when I reach a frustration point.

And then likely get on with the habitat maintenance.

Thursday, Late Start and Flexible Times

The good news is that Mayhem may have flexible hours at work henceforth. The bad news is that I have to hang around for a bit lest I have to turn around when halfway home.

The good news is that I get some work done and a breakfast whilst out and about. The bad news is that I start later and work slower as a direct result.

I forgot to do the piece, yesterday. I can hope to do something today. At

Wednesday, Rant Day and Lack of Clues

As I write, I have very little idea of what I'm going to do for this week's Weird Writer Wednesday. I might resort to a State of the WIP if no other ideas float into my cranium.

So far, I have driven Mayhem to work, hurried back so I could be in time for a telehealth shrink appointment. Then there were technical issues that made connecting at all a problem and a half. Yay.

It's almost midday, and I only just now

Tuesday, Grand Run-Around Commence!

I'm trying to be as quick as possible on the blog entry this morrow. Why? Well... there's stuff happening today. Including:

  • Trip to MeMum's to set up her TV and remote situation
  • Which includes dragging Beloved along because I have no firkin clue how to do the thing
  • And that includes dropping Beloved off at the buss stop close to noonish so she can get back to the office because all she can swing is a half day
  • Huzzah
  • So I have

Monday, Busy Bean

So here's my day, starting with last night, because sleep issues.

  • Needed white noise to fall asleep, it was super-effective

  • Check my time versus Mayhem's work time
  • Detect conflict, shit a brick
  • Get Mayhem going for an early drop-off
  • Long drive #1
  • Head on down to inner Brisbane for special doc's
  • Long drive #2
  • Have to drive around thrice to get a park

Sunday, Post Stream and Sleep

It's Mayhem's birthday today, so I wished him some happy returns. The lad returns to work on the morrow and I am roaming about for medical intervention that day too. Yay.

So no stream tomorrow.

I shall not expect myself to "win" this week. I'll do what I can, but I know I'm going to miss a day or two.

That's just how things are going to go this time around.

It's RiverFire this Saturday, so no game stream next weekend. Be

Saturday, Exhaustion Points

I made it through parkrun. Yay. My heel still hates me. Boo. I needed a nap after I got home because irrevocably awake at 2AM. Fun times.

Nap done with, I am disinclined to leave my bed again, so all my offerings come from my laptop to you. Anything else deemed unnecessary will wait until tomorrow. Possibly, tomorrow afternoon.

Sneezin' and Wheezin' Season is still kicking my butt, so I may have to leave my little sanctuary just to put myself on

Friday, Temporal Issues

I have been a busy busy bean, lately. So much of my time has been eaten with other needs. Yesterday and today, I had a late delivery of Mayhem to Maroochydore. Yesterday, I also had a series of fetch quests. Today... I decided to take it easy.

It was nice, but I still had to reheat my breakfast.

Tomorrow is parkrun. Sunday morning is game morning. Monday's when I'm supposed to post my Patreon stuff.

This coming Tuesday is going to be

Thursday, Really Running Late

I was up at 4AM to do bread. Which is now baked and on the cooling rack. Yesterday's loaf is safe in its paper wrapping and tomorrow, I wrap the second one. Yay.

Pretty much immediately after that, I had to ferry Mayhem off to work. And after that, I went on a series of fetch quests. I got the remote for MeMum, a blackhead tool, a mouthguard to protect my teeth from grinding in my sleep, and some tech tools for
