Friday, Wiring Install MAYBE

Today's the day that the tradie comes by to put in some VERY EXPENSIVE WIRES so that we can has NBN. The steeper side of a three-figure price tag.

Fortunately, we can use that expense to our benefit.

That's happening early this afternoon. IF all is well. Which I sincerely hope it is. Time will have to tell on that one.

In other news: Pippi has figured out how to push through the gate between most of the house and the "forbidden zone" but only if the gate is not completely latched. I anticipate a lot of anguish sourced from this alone.

Fun times ahead.

I am going to do the Patreon stuff today. Hell or high water. Even if literally everything else goes pants, I'll get that thing out.

Onwards to the rest of the nonsense.

Monday, Busy Week Ahead

Today, I have Physio. Tomorrow, I'm off to see MeMum for tech nonsense. Wednesday, I'm seeing different experts and so on.

I will attempt to get my offerings out in good time, but... Time is not on my side.

And I have to get at least eggs at some point.

I also have a phone with an expanding battery [Not my current phone, my old one] that I need to take to a safe disposal point. There's expired meds I need to

Thursday, Attempting to PLN

So once again, I've hit a wall in trying to make Pseuducku exist. I can't make the program I'm using to make it do one thing I need to do in order to test whether or not the thing I made works.

Sigh.

I tried asking for help in the community and... the community has no help for me.

My options at this point are:

  • Track down the dev working on the Linux version and bother them about it
  • Start all over

Saturday, Health Update and PLNs

After days and days of applying goanna oil heat cream combined with careful stretching, the corks in my calves have vanished. Huzzah.

Just in time for me to cork them again doing the 5K walk in the Bridge to Brisbane tomorrow. Look for my dumb pink hat if you find footage of it.

I'm still finding out how I'm going to get there on time. Travel is going to be "interesting" tomorrow.

Today... I'm dealing with a Cyclone Headache [taken my meds,

Wednesday, Rant Day and Running Around

I have two... "interesting" loaves of bread on the rack, today. After the shenanigans, I shall wrap them up in paper and pop them in the fridge.

I have just enough bread for today. Tomorrow, I can open a loaf and wrap the both of them in plastic.

Loaf tax:

[Shown here: Two photographs of homebaked bread, each loaf is made of two sections. Each loaf has split along the side, instead of splitting along the scores made in the top. The

Thursday, Leyland's Tour and Pitch Adventure

Procrastination and Anxiety are holding the wheel, today. I am being social with Better Authors(tm), I am prepping the abbreviated pitch kits just for one pitching arena. I am also driving Mayhem to and from APM in less than half an hour.

In wet weather. On roads full of freaking maniacs.

WHEEEE...

I think that wrapping my loaves in plastic might be the wrong idea. So I've put them in paper bags and seeing if that helps my loaves stay proper

Saturday, Parkrun and Snuggle PLNs

Beloved has had her meds upped and the subsequent blargies have hit her lightly this time. We did the parkrun, had a brunch, and she's watching court drama while I'm busy doing the thing.

I'm taking things VERY lightly with my WIP during the weekend. If I get a chapter finished, I get a chapter finished. That's a win.

As long as I write one sentence in the thing, I have worked on it that day.

This is how I win the

Thursday, Shopping PLNs

I need coffee. More accurately, I need a supply of coffee pods and that requires a trip to Costco so I can get them in bulk.

I've just done my medication thing, and I'm in the process of recording more chapters. I'll work on the daily offerings until 10, when Costco is open at last.

My efforts at getting my Passport refreshed have hit the imp's ass, so to speak. I need a confirmation email to activate my account, and because the

Sunday, Back in Brisbane

Let's recap.

We were supposed to board the plane at almost seven in the evening, get to Brisbane by eightish, and I would potentially have some energy to drive home and sleep in my own bed. That was the PLN.

However. The plane had a dodgy motor in its tail, the one responsible for driving the air conditioning in the plane. In order to get it operational, they needed a special charger at the airport.

Some other plane nicked it for two

Saturday, Parkrun and further PLNs

I got Miss Chaos running to win this week. She really earned her sweet treat.

It looks like the game tomorrow morning might be off. Still consulting with my players about that.

Further bulletins as events warrant.

I might be spending alternate weeks doing book reads for my early morning stream. Stay tuned.

My immediate PLNs include my daily offerings, some chapter recordings, and if I'm still in a mood to stay awake, I'll likely play more BG3.

But I'll probably nap.

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,

Tuesday, New Developments and Patreon

Beloved is going back to the office today, and I was not given 24 or 48 hours notice about that. So much for my nebulous plns to keep her company.

There is another expert-go-round tomorrow so I shall be chauffeur, escort, and entertainment for the duration.

Today is blackout day. The day in which the power company is going to shut down a neighbourhood to remove a dead possum make some essential maintenance happen.

When that happens, I shall not have internets.

Tuesday, Patreon and Laundry

I needed to do laundries for quite some time. So I made myself take a day to get that done.

With all good luck, it should be date day tomorrow. I plan on helping Beloved binge some chapters, have some indulgent meals, and otherwise share very careful snuggle times.

Then again, Beloved took another tumble because she mis-estimated her balance when she went to help pick up some dropped papers. Would have been all right if she hadn't landed on her owie

Friday, Freedom and Shenanigans

Beloved is OUT of the hospital, but she has yet to escape the swarms of experts there to be assured of her full recovery.

I mis-reported her arm as broken this whole time, it's "only" fractured. If there's "just" a crack in it, they don't need to put her in a cast.

IMNSHO there's no such thing as "only" fractured.

So. Full update on conditions:

  • FRACTURED arm
  • Broken jaw
  • with added plate and braces
  • which means liquid/puree diet.
  • A shoulder that

Friday, Shenanigans Afoot

I managed to wrangle a day for my Beloved to go visit MeMum and thereby sort out some tech issues that I could not unfuck on my own.

The problem with this is that it's also the day that Mum's offski to do shopping thanks to an Elderly Care Transit System.

So I have to be ready to take off at a time of convenience.

Which means that I will likely be working on my Starter on Sunday [Wilson the Wholemeal Starter
