Thursday, Wise Words of Bullwinkle

Every now and again, things fuck up SO greatly that the only recourse is to start all over again. With the wisest words of Bullwinkle J. Moose:

This time fer sure!

Today is one of those days. Allow me to elaborate...

  1. Saturday 10th: Beloved and I do the Park Run. Since the only available vehicle was my zippy little car, Beloved took the key fob that would allow it to stay locked.
  2. Said key fob was returned to me when we got back to the car.
  3. Said key went back into my bag with all the other nonsense.
  4. Tuesday 13th: I do a cans run without any trouble. Didn't bother locking my car because who would steal a car at a recycling place?
  5. Beloved goes out to fetch food in my car, thus revealing the fact that the key fob must have fallen out of my bag at some point
  6. Wednesday 14th: (Yesterday) I had PLNs to go Crimbo present shopping. Which required the ability to lock the car because ANYONE can steal a car at the shops
  7. UNBEKNOWNST to me, Beloved found the fob on the night before. She had it in her purse the whole time during the following points.
  8. Beloved went to work with my fob in her possession while I did my daily nonsense
  9. I went to go search my car, with the plan of evicting all the garbage within my car and hoping the fob would turn up after that.
  10. Of fucking course, no fob.
  11. I went through the car top to bottom. I moved seating. I rearranged the tilt of the backs of the seating. I moved the seating again.
  12. I argued with both of our kids about the possibility that the fob could be literally anywhere else BUT in the car.
  13. Finally, to prove a point, I tried to start the car.
  14. Which would not work if the fob was present.
  15. FOB NOT FOUND
  16. ((((: Alright, sweaty ((((: Something's gone amiss, here ((((:
  17. Call beloved
  18. "Oh I found it last night, put it in my purse, and forgot. Whoopsiedoodles."
  19. Mustnotmurderwaifu.jpg

I now have the fob and can plausibly continue with my PLNs.

Except I feel really crook this morning and IDK what's up.

Can I curl up in a corner and cry now? Please?

Wednesday, Wordpress, Crimbolio Shopping

It's raining, it's pouring, and my face says it's going to get worse because Cyclone Headache.

Yay.

We do have moneys but IDK if I'll be able to use any of it and my current assets are scant.

I'm also pondering the penning of a Wordpress entry about all the AI "art" that's popping up and how it's a novelty and not the end of creativity as we know it.

Yes, Taylor Swift is "writing" a movie with AI, and none of

Tuesday, Patreon and Cans Run

YES! I am finally doing it! I am loading up my zippy little car and cashing in all the full bags of bottles and cans.

Two of those bags become profits for Miss Chaos because she put the work in on filling them.

When I come back from that running around, that's when I share the stuff I have to offer on Patreon.

Tomorrow, I plan on beginning the bullet-point summary of Beauties and the Beastly. It's unedited, it's in a faux-Victorian-lit

Monday, Internet Fail

I had my internet connection bork out on me last night. Right in the middle of a stream. I gave up on reconnecting closer to the end of the game stream and went to bed.

Now that morning has broken, and the internet is back, I shall be streaming once all of my nonsense is organised.

As for PLNs for the day? I might actually do a cans run since I'm adequately rested and the Foundry isn't doing any reading. Any extra

Sunday, Game Night and Budgets

I figured that if I set a limit to my present-buying shenanigans, then it won't break the bank.

Not publishing my limits because fam reads this. I don't want to shame them just because we like to have expensive shit.

I have a quarter of the next map drawn, and I'm focussing on making critter counters for the eventual game. Huzzah.

I might be able to finish the floor plan of the second map. Then I experiment with how to keep tokens

Saturday, Parkrun & PLNs

Second complete parkrun. I get a milestone after about a year of these, so I shall see if I can make it that long.

There's another after TEN years, and I'm currently like haha good joke there mate.

We will be able to do Crimbolio shopping when we have money again, this coming Tuesday. THAT is when I shall go out into the wilderness and attempt to return with something cool for everyone I love.

With a very limited budget.

I have

Friday, Forgotten PLNs and Chaos

Not Miss Chaos, the generalised chaos that seems to go hand-in-hand with my life as I know it.

So it's natural that I forgot I was taking Pippi to get her shots. I also forgot that Beloved and I were getting our hair did today.

Mayhem refused to help me with the recycling, so I got Miss Chaos to do the same thing and will be paying her when all the work is done. Win for her.

I have made a start

Thursday, Scrombling PLNs

I have worked out that I am going to have to set up each map before my players play it. Huzzah. In the meantime, I can make sure there's counters for all the mobs in advance and do the reading ahead and all that nonsense. Huzzah.

So I am scrombling to make sure I have all the tokens. Which means that I can go on and start drawing the next level so this whole thing can maybe go faster.

Whee.

I should

Wednesday, Leyland's Tour & Wordpress

Today, the PLN includes taking Beloved to the train station so she can get to work. I am also taking Mayhem to the Dept of Main Roads so he can get his replacement license and then going to the bank so he can get a replacement bank card.

Whee.

I shall be posting another part of the fanficcy variant of A Devil's Tale very soon to now because I know damn well that I won't have the time for an extended rant

Tuesday, Patreon, Lining Things Up

Guy Councilman1 came by to see what the hell was up with the sullage system and I was able to float my idea for a permanent sullage garden. Turns out that those plns will involve different stuff to the things we already paid money for.

There's going to be a trench to dig and different pipes and different sprinklers and it's going to CO$T so part of getting that all together is going to be negotiating payment rates. Yaaaayyy...

Long(?) Monday, Chillaxing

I shall be streaming in a few minutes, then napping, then returning to consciousness for the TaleFoundry reads.

Thereafter? Who knows?

We didn't get to the sullage pipes as I had hoped, alas. Today might be the day. It might not. The hours my love and I share to arrange all the nonsense are rare and often filled with more important nonsense.

Blargh.

Onwards to the written nonsense.

Sunday,Plott'n and Pln'n

I am streaming early today so that I have the time to go do other things. Like get the supplies of cat food up to snuff. Or finally do the sullage pipes because the hours my love and I actually share are ridiculous and it takes some mutual planning to get things done sometimes.

So after I'm done prepping for the stream, I shall be sending out the "soon to now" notice.

Watch my Tumblr for further bulletins. Or just tune into

Saturday, Parkrun First!

I did the whole 5K for the first time in ever! YAAAAAYYY!

I will probably regret tomorrow. Today, I am proud of myself.

I shall be streaming, and then joining my Beloved for a nap. We hadn't got enough sleep, last night so catching up is priority.

I want some sleep, but I also don't want to be streaming closer to tomorrow.

Onwards towards that goal.

Friday, Day off?

Relax, I'm still doing my stream, but I really just want some fuckaround time for the rest of the day.

As for the tech support yesterday. It really was an object lesson in how miscommunication causes problems for everyone. I thought MeMum was confounded by bookmarks, and in a way, she was. Mum didn't know where to look when I was trying to describe what tabs were.

I had to go there and point.

Which is kind of peak chaos for this

Thursday, Tech Support Speed Run!

I have PLNs to sort out MeMum's trouble with GoogDrive.

Which means that I do my stream, do the publish, and then haul arse to the other side of the big smoke to see what the fuck is up with GoogDrive on Mum's ancient lappy.

Since it's also raining, I will be taking the ultimate care on the roads. There's a lot of idiots out there still driving like it's dry. And also driving like everyone else out there offends them personally.
