Friday, Unfuckening and Unriddling

The record player is now in its proper place! Yay. Now the problem is that the power cord isn't powering the thing. Boo. It's a hellaciously expensive record player, so I doubt the whole thing has gone to Silicone Heaven.

It's probably the power cord. And if it isn't the power cord, then it's the power plug. We shall be doing some investigations when both of us are conscious.

I really hope that we're not down an entire hellfuck expensive record player from better days when we could afford nice things. That would suck.

And I would have nothing to play my vinyl albums with. Which, you know, sucks because I'm something of an audiophile.

...I wanna play my vinyls again...

BUT I'm also cleaning the Catio and attempting to unfuck something else in the household environment. Maybe getting rid of the flowers that have died. I dunno.

I am obviously procrastinating on getting started on the 2K summary of Adapting. It's going to suck balls doing it.

...kind of helps that the by-chapter summary is just a squinch over 2K anyway.

I could possibly edit that. I should do a better job than "just editing" that down. I should do themes and stuff.

...but not today.

I'd really rather write my anguished, angsty devil-boy yearning for true love. It's got all my buttons in it.

I shall get on with getting on and slowly approach the task I dread.

Fingers crossed, it's easier than I think it is.

Thursday, Rushed and Bamfoozled

I forgot about Wordpress Wednesday, yesterday. Caught up this morning with what it was likely to be anyway: another installation of the fanficcy version of A Devil's Tale. The pro version of which is going to be 111 chapters and is STILL nowhere near being finished.

I'm getting closer to individuating all the chapters for mum. I may change the folder name so it's more universal. And if the Master Document won't let me edit it any more, I can always write

Wednesday, Wordpress & Date Night

Beloved's plan for this evening is to Go Somewhere outside of our normal travels and see what we can see. It was my duty to pick out the place, so I chose one with a lot of parks and at least one eatery that wasn't Maccas.

I have no idea if this is going to be a majority of the day thing, or an evening thing. We shall see.

If it's in the evening only, then I have a chance to do

Tuesday, Patreon + Shrink

I think I shall be kind to myself today. There's a lot to tax my energies in spite of my best efforts.

As the title suggests, I'm chatting with my Shrink, today. There's also the Patreon posts to do, as well as the chambering, summarising, tagging, and individuation to do.

On the plus side, I now have the shelf I got for my birthday installed. Well. Stage One.

I've yet to enquire about Stage Two.

Beloved has Wanderlust, so tomorrow's date night

Sunday, Tale Foundry and Game Night

Tale Foundry has delayed to another day, so I'm filling in time until Stream O'Clock. Which means I might have time to resume some of my bullshit getting the entry done before the prompt is announced.

None of the folks who can share a game are able to play with me, so I shall be streaming more of the Cat Game. Yay.

The usual stuff will continue after I have a look at the poll on Tale Foundry's Patreon. The good news

Saturday, Catching up

The Gayening has commenced. We have some rainbow flag bunting strung up near the front door. Very tasteful. Almost discrete. Only those prone to being offended could take offense at it.

In the acquisition of such, I missed out on Catio cleaning and the Starter feeding. I will get on with that after the story is posted.

After the Catio and Bikkie stuff, I shall get on with summaries, chapter separation, chamber dressing, and fic tagging. Yay.

I'm getting closer and closer

Friday, Unfuckening & Some Free Time?

Beloved was out later than I was awake, last night. Visits to relatives post-funeral, sorting things out, I will hear about it when she wakes up.

Today's her day at home so we may get some stuff done in house. Which will include the usual Catio cleanse. I shall attempt to get a dishwash underway as well.

I am attempting a day without coffee, since the extra cuppa pre-game didn't do very much for me. I'll see how far that goes.

So

Thursday, A Break?

Today's the day where I don't have output or sleep to worry about. I might have energy in the afternoon. Maybe.

Or maybe I'll still run out of battery because I have been off the ashwagandha for a week.

It's in the post.

I shall take some time for myself today and consider it well-earned.

I do indeed need it.

OR I might spend some more time on A Devil's Tale. Or minecraft. As you do.

I still have the usual stuff

Wednesday, Wordpress, Date?

I am still dedicated to tagging stories for the app, and that takes some time. I have NO idea what I'm writing for Wordpress today, so it might be another installment of the fanficcy version of A Devil's Tale.

Or I might have to go on another rant about all the stuff I have to deal with.

But at least Jolie has an appointment about her teeth. Also on the good side, Beloved and I are reforging intimacy together now that things

Tuesday, Patreon & Stuff

I'm running out of stuff to share because I am devoting my time to other things.

The other things:

  • Summarising Adapting
  • Individuating chapters of A Devil's Tale
  • Dressing chambers for my players to Dragon in
  • Tagging past tales for the app that really needs to get out there

Each of these takes more effort than you might think. Lots of mental effort, reading, and in some cases, jiggery-pokery.

At some point between those tasks, I shall be booking Jolie in for her

Long Monday, Potential Shenanigans

Something in the living room is humming, the shelf for my record player is still in its wrapping, there's loads to do to make sure Capt. S' old place is orderly for the next step, MUM is still unfucking and hoping it doesn't flood again.

Beloved has taken a well-earned day out with friendos [found a VERY nice jacket with a VERY heinous price tag :P And didn't get it. Whew] and may also be pretty much wrecked for later this morning.

Sunday, Game Night & Unfucking Stuff

Beloved and I have a mutual way to monitor our spending, so that's a step on the long road towards fiscal stability.

My other steps are taking longer.

Like - getting books ready for publishers. And making my firkin APP ready for shipping out to the app stores. And individuating chapters for Mum's ease of access and thereby editorial input.

Which will be attacked in fits and bits at a little at a time. My PLN goes:

  • One week's of stories tagged

Saturday, Catching up, and Blobbing

We have bade a final farewell to Capt. S yesterday. Thanks to that and some close calls on the road; I am frayed, worn out, and feeling very much like a sad lump of blob that's washed up on the tide-mark of life.

Having a night of rest that was a loose clump of intermittent naps did not help this. At all.

I know that I still have to clean the catio, feed my Starters, and manage the Bikkie. But what I

Friday, Calling in Absent

This is yet another early blog because the day of the day, is the day we bid a final farewell to Capt. S.

I expect it to be very full. And very tearful.

Everything and (I hope) everyone is prepared for the big scrum to have things ready at the place and on time. Including ourselves.

Saturday will likely be a twofer PLUS whatever might be in store for Fic of the Week. I fully expect my throat to burn out partway
