Plague Diary

A 1694-post collection

Wednesday, Wordpress and Remote Dating

Both my snugglebuddies are down with a sickness. Beloved caught a Lurgi while she was over at Adorable's and we mutually decided not to give me another threat to my lungs.

BUT it's also date night and bonding exercises have to be a shared experience we can do together. So we're doing that.

Technonerds for the win, I guess.

I already did the meme on the Fediverse this morning, so all I have left is the daily tale, the Wordpress entry, and the mandatory chapter.

I also aim to be summarising a little bit of Beauties and the Beastly. If I don't have the 'oomph' for that, I'll do it tomorrow. I mean, I also have some beta-ing to do before I get on with everything else.

Howmst the FUCK did I become a writing mentor for two people?

Eh. Onwards with the offerings.

Monday, Twofer For You

The foundry is doing backup reads as I speak. I shall be getting on with the twofer after that is done, and also trying to concoct a tale for the foundry. So I shall be writing a lot.

I need to concoct a Keto Kibble 2.0 because I have been doing it wrong the entire time. Bleh.

Yesterday went well enough. The most anxious person about the QPP was MeMum, who had some points about a few things.

Society as it

Sunday, Home Again, Tired Bean

It's after five in the afternoon, I have been talking all day and socialising with people, and I am bloody worn out.

All I want to do is nap.

So it's highly likely that I will be doing a twofer tomorrow, or at least the minimum a day behind and a twofer on Tuesday.

I don't want to make it that extended, but I might have to.

My feet hurt and I am very sleepy. If anything comes out of my warped

Saturday, Parkrun and PLN'd Shenanigans

It's been a long day. As you might guess by the lateness of this post. Not just parkrun, but also getting our hair did and getting food and going shopping and doing a bunch of other stuff while we were there.

Needless to say, I am a very tired bean and I have yet to create or post my offerings for today.

As for tomorrow? There may not be any entries at all.

Tomorrow, the QPP is heading out to introduce ourselves

Friday, Shenanigans Ahoy

It's another sleepover tonight, so we can go together to a closer parkrun tomorrow, so we can get our hair did later in the day... so we can be all done up relatively fancy at the Meet The Fam thing on Sunday.

...huzzah...

It's another thing I'm nervous about, so I heartily expect to be exhausted on the following Monday.

I didn't even know I was stressed on Wednesday night until I fell over and slept through most of yesterday. It'll be

Thursday, Game Night and Fun Times

The QPP went out to watch The Little Mermaid. The unnecessary live action remake version of it.

Make no mistake, Halley Bailey does amazing work in this film. It is not her fault that she's been acting against soulless CGI puppets and one guy who can't really sing.

I was not impressed by the Seemingly Mandatory Lin Manuel Miranda rap. And it's not his fault that the corporate mouse owns his soul.

I would like to know who held the decision button

Wednesday, Date Night, no current PLN

I'm going to place and do thing with my love tonight, but I have no idea which place or what thing. Nevertheless, I have my Torture Shoes(tm) on for whatever may happen.

I'm sure we'll figure something out in due course, but it will probably be involving the Jacka's iced caffeine with bursties in there.

It's not often I get my hands on sugar, you know.

I'm kind of running out of new things to experience, or ones that are easily

Tuesday, Patreon and Cyclone Headache

My head does not like me today. I was up at 1 in the morning because PAIN.

I need to make an appointment to get a prescription for the super painkillers since I'm out. Meanwhile, I make do with ibuprofen and paracetamol.

We got ourselves some crowded days ahead, so that time window is currently eluding me.

I have some things to share with Patreon, hooray. Some plns coming through, too. The rest of the fam is going to meet the QPP

Monday, Nebulous PLNs

Charlie 3 is having his official birthday bash today and people are not allowed to complain about how their kids are starving during the multi-billion-dollar events that are sure to be going on.

But that's apparently okay because of the one-sixteenth of British economy derived from tourists and tabloids devoted to the royals 9_9

[MeMum's a loyalist and I will for sure hear this argument today. People are STARVING so an elderly man can wear a fancy hat with diamonds on

Sunday, Tale Foundry and stream plns

Tale Foundry is doing its thing. I just finished making a lot of maps, and cussing about DungeonDraft crashing like a bitch.

Lots of Frustrate, this morning.

Beloved is coming home sometime today, so if I am streaming when she does, I may be understandably distracted.

I also have a loud as FUCK keyboard that is going to be a lot of tikkatakka noise on my stream. Sorry to the ASMR enthusiasts who may tune in.

Be prepared.

Chapter Count: About to

Saturday, Parkrun and Torture Shoes

Miss Chaos was my only company today. Because the other lovelies were off to Mt Tambourine for other shenanigans. And because I ran out of money, Miss Chaos was in charge.

Also, because of the bone spurs on my feet, I was a little more in pain than normal.

Now I need the Torture shoes and my feet still firkin hurt.

...I'm going to have to stand on broom handles and roll frozen bottles under my feet every day. Again. Blahaaargh I

Friday, Ongoing PLNs

Beloved is off on adventures that include a journey far afield. Which means that I may be doing parkrun tomorrow all on my only. It's a possibility that Miss Chaos may not wish to do the thing tomorrow morning.

So far, bribing her with hot chocolate and brunch afterwards seems to be working.

Wish it'd work on Mayhem. His problem is the covered shoe requirement. My lad has wide feet, and it's difficult to get a fit that doesn't get at him

Wednesday, Wordpress, Date Night, and Revelations

Yesterday, I finished Chapter 280. All I needed to do was have half an hour away from the temptation of Dwarf Fortress.

So that's what I'm trying today.

After I write this blog, I shall have to leave to go shopping for essentials [cat food, tinned fish for the fam, more cream for my good self]

The kids have been on a tinned fish bender lately and supplies are running low.

So my day started with needing cream and graduated to a

Tuesday, Patreon and Movie Night

I have been making minimal progress this week because distractions [aka Dwarf Fortress] and there's something that makes me wish to mess around with shit rather than create.

I think I need to sit somewhere and be bored for a while.

...I don't have ADHD, but I do a remarkable impersonation thereof.

The good news, such as it is, is that I shall be experimenting with a medication that might help my general attitude against the world. If it works, it works.

Monday, Whoopsidoodle

I forgot what day it was. Something about napping during a day makes me lose track of time.

The good news is that I was there for the Foundry's backup reads. And now I shall be going henceforth to do the offerings.

I am going to focus on making a thing. I shall quit at the frustration point for sure. The point is I'm kind'a tired of saying I want to do things and then not actually doing them.

I am going
