Friday, A Day at Home

For four days, I at least tried to get dressed, go place, and do thing. For one of them, I gave up because feeling awful. Even on that day, I got as far as getting dressed before crawling back to bed.

Tomorrow, I have to get dressed, go place, and do thing. Again. But today? I am taking it easy. Well. Relatively easy.

I still have no idea what to put into my rant for this week. I'm feeling weary so I might not rant. I dunno.

But I do know how to make my offerings, so I'll be getting on with that shortly.

Wednesday, Feeling Much Better

Good sleep and lots of hydration helped me shake off the lurgi nonsense. So today is going to include shopping as well as my general offerings.

I'm trying to branch out, get my works seen - or heard - by other audiences. It took me a while, but I've found some arenas that might welcome my short stories and I'm trying them out one by one. I might dig up one of the older ones I'm proud of for a scifi podcast

Friday, Can I be Brave?

There's a lot of emotional effort in sending a book off on a pitch. Not limited to the sheer anxiety surrounding sending it off. But I've got to throw it out there if I want someone to pick it up.

And I do want someone to pick it up.

This is the one thing I'm good at, and I should get paid to do it.

I'll get on with the offerings first. Then I try to get brave.

Wish me luck.

Thursday, Finally at Rest

I don't have to go place and do thing, today.

Which means that I might have a chance to fool around with a thing. But it's more likely that I'll be spending some selfish time on entertainment.

Procrastination is my copilot.

And it really shouldn't be.

I should re-pitch Adapting and figure out what I'm doing next. By the time Adapting is ghosted by PS Literary, Clockwork Souls should be out of slush pile purgatory. I can flick Clockwork Souls at the

Tuesday, Patreon Overdue, Shrink Day, and Shopping

I'm seeing my shrink in a couple of hours. I have stuff to post on Patreon and I need to take a couple of pictures for over there, too. And there's a supply run in the offing.

As well as the normal run of offerings unto the temple of notes.

Fun times ahead.

I can only launch after the Shrink Stuff(tm) but I can get a rattle on with my other contributions to the nonsense. And that's the PLN.

The good

Saturday, No Parkrun, and Waiting For Spandek

I will bother Mitre 10 about the lack of Spandek sometime after the weekend. Parkrun is cancelled because flooding. We're still getting our hair did, all the same.

I forgot about that and washed my hair. Whoops. I will suffer the consequences with minimal complaint.

Offerings happening whenever. I'm trying to preserve my poor wrists, but it's not going well. I do have speech-to-text, but it's a minor pain in the butt.

Better a minor pain in the butt than a major

Monday, Backup Reads and Shopping PLNs

The cats need food, the fam needs protein, flavour, and little things. I have a bit of a Leyland's Tour ahead of me, which will commence as soon as the group's done with the backup reads. I have five stops this time and I can only hope I have enough money to cover our needs.

I'm good at juggling finances.

When I get back, that's when my offerings shall occur. Which means I can focus on being Prepared(tm) for social time

Saturday, Parkrun and Date PLNs

There's a movie called Mickey 17 out in cinemas now. There's another one called The Day the Earth Blew Up coming soon. Both of these are my personal must-sees. So we have a couple of date nights arranged. Yay.

I need to preheat the oven, arrange dough and shape at least one loaf. Since I have to get up at Awful AM tomorrow, I'll be doing my second loaf later on that day.

My shoulder's still giving me trouble and I've discovered

Tuesday, Family Support and Maybe Patreon

I'm taking MeMum hither and thither today, fixing tech issues and helping with the shopping and so on. As a result, there may not be Patreon posts until tomorrow.

There's another embuggerance on top of the regular furforal... Mum's waiting for people to pick up some equipment loaned to help with the flood nonsense. So now we're waiting for those folks to turn up.

On the plus side, I have the time to write this blog, so yay.

I'll be working on

Sunday, Game Night and Necessary Therapy

My feet hate me. Not shocked, considering I was testing how well they could go without a cane assisting it. I sure as heck need a cane now.

I may also need to soak my feet in cold water.

I'm otherwise rested, and should be good to get my offerings out there. At some point, I'll throw a few sentences into the novel and the Butcher's Book.

I'm not seeking out spandek until later on in the week. Today's not good and

Saturday, Parkrun Progress and Further PLNs

Today, I decided to see how far I could get this parkrun without using my cane. I had it dangling from my belt in case of need. Which did become necessary. Chaos reckons I made it about 3K and I'm not about to argue with the math. All I know are landmarks. On the way out, it's the bridge over the stream, the large overpass, the small overpass, and then the turn-around before going through all that backwards. I made it past

Thursday, Crossed Wires and Running Around

I previously thought I was seeing my physio today. I checked my schedule and no. I'm seeing my physio tomorrow. Nevertheless, I have run out of stuff and things and I need to go on a supply run.

It's a long, long run. Here, there, an extra stop at Bunnings for some corrugated iron, and another stop at a chemist for a restock of some meds. Of course I'm getting the refrigeratables last.

The sheet of corrugated iron is going to be

Wednesday, Rant Due and Leyland PLNs

I have to think of something to talk about for my weekly blog. Perhaps the stories behind the story I'm writing in my "Butcher's Book" and the general mood behind Sanity Projects. "In" prefix optional.

Yes, I made a little pamphlet thingy out of a sheet of Butcher's Paper. Replete with sewing the spine for binding. And yes, I am filling it with a weird little story.

Because I happen to be Like That(tm).

And yes, I plan on showing it

Tuesday, Patreon and Shopping Potential

I have to keep the catio closed off until I fix the roof. The good news is that I can get the corrugated iron real easy. The bad news is that I need to find the tools, the charger(s), the screws, a ladder... and a helpmeet to do the thing.

That's going to be an issue.

So too is escaping the shed with the car. Because the yard turns into a quagmire under a light mist.

We're going to be dragging
