Friday, Return of Beloved?

I can't send a message to Beloved because our chat app is having server issues. Fun. But I did get a message saying that they were getting ready to travel so I can continue hoping for a return to hugs and together time.

...and a return to working out where Book 5 ends and Book 6 begins.

I might even get Adorable over to help me wrangle things so I can continue with my PLNs to make a better advertising video.

And once I know what to do about having them done, I may not need to spend any more money on the "Market Analysis". Whee fun.

I now know a little something about marketing, and I hope to apply it in the near future. Once I have overcome the learning curve of the programs I need to do the thing.

Later this arvo, I'll do the catio. Today, I'm doing my offerings. Tomorrow, I'm off on parkrun with Chaos.

I'm helping MeMum back up her Kindle this coming Tuesday.

Thursday, Catching Up Again

Good news: I found someone who can plausibly help me make Pseuducku be a thing. Bad news, I need to update GameMaker again so I can follow their steps properly.

Good news: I have downloaded the update. Bad news: I don't remember how to use it.

I currently have PLNs to help MeMum back up her Kindle, but that's happening tomorrow. My PLNs for today depend on what happens beforehand.

If I can install the GameMaker update successfully, I'll be working on

Wednesday, Physio, Rant, and Maybe Shopping

Technical difficulties have been cleared, I have physio today, and some offerings due.

My marketing connection sent me the exact same video they sent me last time, so I sent them a clue.

As in, I know a few things about editing videos. So it could also be a callout.

Meanwhile, I'm going to be learning how to make a one-minute music piece in a GarageBand-like made specifically for Linux. I have to find my own loops, but that's okay.

I might

Saturday, Parkrun and Rest

I did parkrun with little impact on my poor old feet. Huzzah. What it did make an impact on was my energy levels. I needed a nap after I got home.

So the offerings will be going out as soon as I can get them out.

I need to seek help with a bracket issue in GameMaker, but I also have personal energy issues that means it all has to wait until likely Monday.

Miss Chaos has gifted me the final straw,

Friday, Valentine's Day

I'm starting to wonder about the person I found to help me with market research. Everything that should be a minor tweaks turns out to be a whole new video. There's flaws that should be easily detected, errors allowed to pass. I'm starting to worry this person is using AI to put out low effort somethings.

I don't want to accuse, but I'm also thinking of transcribing the ad copy from the one that needed really minor tweaks and doing it over

Thursday, Finally Some Twiddling

I'm baking today, and Mayhem has all the things he needs to make his own bread. Plus Chaos is probably going to have a share of that. I predict a lot of trips for flour and yeast.

But homemade bread is better for you than the alchemical experiments they're selling in the shops, so it's worth it.

Today, I shall be messing around with brackets in GameMaker. Fingers crossed, I get a single thing working today.

And speaking of working, I should

Wednesday, I Owe Output

I owe Patreon posts, I owe a Weird Writer Wednesday. I also need to make bread and get meds.

I have the best timing [/sarcasm].

At least this time, I can walk without searing agony. That's something, I guess.

Mayhem wants to make his own bread on the same day that I'm planning my bread and this is just adding to the fun. Yay.

I am going to make myself mess around with brackets in GameMaker at some point. But I also

Monday, Backup Reads and Mistakes Were Made

After a pack of weeks that hammered the 10th of this month into my head, it took one blog entry for the crossed wires there to be revealed. So I have everything lined up, but I don't have to take off before tomorrow.

Gotta love having ideals nailed in and having them ripped out next to last minute. Fun times.

Speaking of fun times, my first test of the latest version came up with an error, so now I'm messing around with

Sunday, Game Night and Preparations

I am making sure the battery is charged for my Christmas chainsaw. All so I can head on down to MeMum's tomorrow and help her be rid of some overgrowth in the way of other things.

The plus side is that she finally has the other side of her insurance claim finalised. Just one more room to go and all is theoretically well.

just in time for the next flood season

Fingers crossed, all the measures put in so far will prevent

Friday, Still Unfucking My Feet

I'm getting weird stabbing pains in the back of my right heel when I bend over to pick up things from floor level. My physio recommended extra padding on the relevant shoe and keeping up with the cold soaks. As well as all the stretchies, of course.

...I keep forgetting my wrist stretchies and I should be making myself get back onto that. I just have to catastrophise not doing it like I did for the foot stretchies.

If it's silly and

Thursday, Forgotten Blog and Shopping

I need to be positive. I need to share the love. With that in mind, I will make some time to talk about my favourite Pratchett book - Nation.

Everything output-related is delayed today because Firefox obliterated my tab hoard. I have the barest necessities back, and that's a start. But damnit, it hurts every time.

And it still firkin crashes my compy when I try to upload a pic using Firefox -_-

Everything I post that wants an image is

Wednesday, Rant Due and Physio

I will probably get to the rant after my physio appointment, today. Which rescheduled three times yesterday. No word of a lie.

And speaking of alterations to things, I had to remove the brackets from the title of this year's anthology because they want the cover and the words in the title to match. Fucking. Hell.

Also, Smashwords and Draft2Digital are doing affiliate links for profit reasons and they were the LAST non-evil self-publishing venue I had. Powers damn it.

The sooner

Tuesday, Patreon, Feet, and Shopping

I have enough stability in my feet to actually go out for supplies. Which is a good thing, because we need them. I just need to put on my other knee before I take off, and have ice prepped for the return. We have a stock, so in theory I should be fine.

In theory.

BUT the cats need food and I need a few things here and there and yes, I will probably suffer for it. Needs must be done and

Sunday, Game Cancelled Because Feet

I did get the branches away from the fenceline. The downside of this is that I ruined my feet in the process. Following parkrun, I could not walk very far, very well. It hurt a LOT. So I had to cancel the international VTTRPG sesh so I could spend some extra hours off those feet in the hopes that rest would help a little.

I plan on using my foot-friendly sandshoes as slippers today, as well as doing everything I can to

Saturday, Parkrun and Publishing PLNs

I have everything together, I am going to make myself put out last year's anthology today. I have the technology.

I just need to remember everything I need.

I should be fine.

I have to soak my feet in cooled water because swelling issues and I also have to keep off my feet for as long as humanly possible until further notice.

Fun stuff.

Not so much time for handicrafty projects with power tools. OTOH more time for messing around with GameMaker.
