Sunday, Game Night and Further PLNs

I'm planning to get to sleep at 5PM today, all so I can be awake at the right time to run the VTTRPG. My keyboard is behaving itself again, but yesterday was entirely terrifying.

I will be keeping all beverage containers out of accidental knocking-down distance. Religeously.

One scare is PLENTY.

I'm listening to AMothintheArchive on Twitch as they go through some entries from last week. I know what the prompt should be for next week, but there's always room for a surprise or two.

Offerings soon. Staying off of the extra work of novel work and side projects unless I want too. Just to avoid burnout.

Friday, In the Wars

I have to take it easy. Both my wrists hate me, despite my stretchies. I still have nerve janglies in my right thumb, and my left got bitten by a pen when I put the lid on it.

To help with my offerings, I am installing some speech/text software.

That might help rest my wrists.

Or so I hope.

I also have a cyclone headache so that's promising fun. And tomorrow, I go do the First Timer's Briefing for parkrun. Wheeee.

Tuesday, Patreon and Date Night

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

Thursday, The Quest For Spandek(tm)

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

Monday, Backup Reads and Making PLNs

The writer's group is having a BS session as I write. We all have another week to play with the prompt.

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

Sunday, Game Night and Chill

Fun was had with my international maniacs, early this AM, and I am much better for a nap afterwards. The PLN for today is to grab screencaps and seek help for the "brackets issue" in GameMaker.

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

Saturday, No Parkrun and Mor Pruning

Since the Christmas chainsaw has the exact sound profile of a toy, we're relatively free to go out pruning at the crack of dawn as well as the afternoon.

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

Tuesday, Leyland's Tour Ahoy

Mum needs help with stuff so I'm on the road again. Yoiks and away.

[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

Thursday, Further PLNs

Today, to further my PLNs for Pseuducku, I'll be making certain I have all assets necessary to proceed. That may take all my allotted Pseuducku time today.

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

Friday, Shopping Trip and Healing

Toe news: The antibiotics I'm on are working. The injury site is no longer reddened nor warm. Even the scabs are flaking off. My lung issues are also waning, and tomorrow evening is the time I take the last pill. Yay.

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

Tuesday, Streamlined PLNs

Beloved took the thing from here while she was up to deliver Chaos and collect a few bits and bobs for stuff and things. So that's one thing off my checklist for today.

Said checklist in no particular order:

  • Foot maintenance routine
  • Wrist maintenance routine
  • Doc's visit to see to the toe situation
  • ...and possibly gain an addition to the foot maintenance routine
  • Collect MeMum and her stuff and things
  • Offerings unto the Temple of notes
  • Chillax

Further bulletins as events warrant.

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

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,
