I have finished a chapter of ADT! Hooray. Since it's a number divisible by five, I now owe some recordings. BUT... because date plns, I'm trying to focus on the daily offerings first.
If I don't get to the nonsense today, I'll get to it... Thursday. Because I already have PLNs to go help MeMum with nonsense.
Whee fun.
I also need to find a time window to concoct something for the Archive. I have some ideas, but nothing's popped into my head.
Onwards with making shit up.
It's an absolutely wonderful day to go on a Leyland's Tour to find, purchase, and haul a specifically wobbly sheet of metal homewards. By which I mean it's fucking raining.
I have a cyclone headache, digestive issues, my wrist hates me, my shoulder is in need of deep heat and a big burly massage, my feet are deciding whether or not they hate me, I'm constantly tired, and my right thumb has a glitch.
Recap: Last week, I turned a tap off

There's a thing in the group about putting up primers for your universe(s) and I am all in. I just need to make sure I have a copy of the standards so I can do it right.
I like having rules to follow, when they make sense.
It'll be nice to have a guide for newcomers who wonder what the

After the usual offerings, of course.
I am starting to recognise that the physio is getting my painful heels to behave themselves, so now I'm invested in doing all the physio things.
The rest of my day is reserved for time to chillax. Which means that

We were doing quite well this morning, until the battery ran flat.
We will get more branches cut down this afternoon. I've signed up the spawn to help out and spell me on the pruning work. Theoretically, we can get the branches away from the fence a lot faster than if it was

[Which reminds me, I need to stop procrastinating on pitching my books at people. I have found another agency I can pitch at, so they get the book(s) the other ones aren't looking at. Diversity, baby]
I will attempt some minor jiggery-pokery in GameMaker to keep the streak going, tonight. After all the other offerings are done.
The sooner I have all the buttons going 'click', the

I also need to get into my Patreon and share all the things accomplished since the last time I posted.
I don't even know how much I have to share. I should check up on such things.
When I finish my stretchies [and a bit more of ADT], I will be getting on with all

Today's PLNs include a trip to the DFO where they sell the best possible shoes at the best possible price. Thus leaving a little extra mad money.
I'm also making a start on bread, today. Baking it tomorrow.
I might even

Said checklist in no particular order:

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

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

Sigh.
I tried asking for help in the community and... the community has no help for me.
My options at this point are:
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,

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
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
