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 I need to get a wriggle on if I want that time.
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

[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.

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:

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

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

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

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
