PLNs

A 368-post collection

Sunday, Christmas Eve, Quiet Company

Traffic was relatively sane on the quest to fetch MeMum, though there were enough dangerous drivers to alert Mum all the same. Something something, panic about the holiday death toll.

I was a supremely careful driver, today. Making absolutely, positively certain that nobody would hit us.

We arrived in one piece with only a minimum of shrieking. So now it's time to chill and enjoy each other's company for the duration.

Apparently, my slow-roasted ham is already driving Mayhem into a crazed hunger. We get into all of that tomorrow.

And now I get on with my offerings.

Friday, Ham Day and Unfucking Marathon

The ham is thawing and we have today and tomorrow to get the house nicer before visitors happen. Yay.

Procrastination has bit us all on the butt this time around.

BUT I do also believe in miracles in association with effort, so we should be able to pull through regardless.

It's a small enough crimbo this year.

We can do this.

When I'm done with this blog, I'll get on with the catio and The Bikkie and then dealing with the mess.

Thursday, Pudding Day and Catching Up

I forgot to do Wordpress Wednesday, so that's what I'm doing first thing. It'll help me wait for the butter to thaw.

Yeah the butter I got yesterday wound up in a freezer. Things happen.

I'm making my Decadent Bread and Butter Pudding today, with cinnamon in the custard.

Gotta switch it up. My mixed fruit came without glace cherry bits.

ANY way. I have offerings to make, a pudding to bake, and a house to clean. Inertia is my copilot. And

Friday, Unfuckening PLNs

I have the BG3 brainworms making me write stuff again. I will ATTEMPT to retain focus on the important bits.

I did get some more written for my Beauties summary, but I decided against doing any programming jiggery-pokery. Emotional fortitude and all that.

Today, I get all the mail off the dining room table, in preparation for the upcoming holiday. Hooray. Alongside all the other unfucking processes and occupations I regularly do.

Speaking of, I really need to get to the catio.

Thursday, Side-projects Day

Today, after I am done with my offerings, I shall try a few things I have remaining unfinished. Maps for another game I'm planning to run, more tooling around on Cheev Three of Stencyl's lessons, and recordings of at least one chapter for the rest of my PLNs.

And at least one paragraph into my summary of Beauties and the Beastly.

Somewhere in there, I should at least try to come up with a rough draft of a "Dear Employee" letter to

Monday, Tale Foundry Reads, Continuing Technical Issues

My writing group is sharing their diverse tales today. A thing that will likely keep me until the afternoon.

In the meantime, I shall be doing my stretchies, working on the entry for next week, recording a chapter of Adapting, and maybe doing something for Chapter 353 of A Devil's Tale while I'm at it.

Perhaps even some minor tweaking to my work in Stencyl too.

Tomorrow is the day I don't have scheduled obligations, so that's the day I sally forth

Saturday, Parkrun Without QPP

Beloved and Adorable are in foreign climes, so it was just Chaos and I for the parkrun. Mayhem doesn't want to join the cult the activity and that's his choice.

Sigh.

The good news is that APM is getting Mayhem some saleable work skills. I already put my hand up for anything he can teach me. You never know what might come in handy.

I'm doing my stretchies before moving on to my daily offerings. In between Jolie smudging for attention, because

Friday, Finishing Preparations

I did one thing I've been planning to do for literal years and it's a Crimbo present. Yay. Not saying anything more about that because spoilers. I can only hope that it's welcome when received.

I've done my stretchies, cleaned out the catio, and fed the felines. In a few short minutes, I shall start with my regular nonsense. Including the Stencyl stuff and some chapter recordings. AND The Bikkie.

I am not going anywhere and doing very much but my work

Thursday, Tyre Resolution Impending

I have until three this afternoon to get my shit together and present my offerings to the temple of notes.

THEN I poddle off and maybe get my tyre fixed. And perhaps work on another chapter of A Devil's Tale.

I just finished chapter 350 by the way.

I detailed my epic tyre shenanigans over on my Wordpress which was a frustrating fury at the time. Especially with the clock running out for Mayhem's appointment.

I should have the wherewithall to record

Monday, Supplemental Expedition

I have a list. I have hopes that I will be able to fill it out today with little in the way of trouble.

Just a few things. Should be easy.

Never firkin is.

Also kind'a sorta sick of poking the kids into thinking of others during the season. One last half-hearted nudge and I surrender.

Let them do as they whist.

I am going to head offski to the shops RSN. Local supermarket should have everything I'm looking for, all being

Saturday, Parkrun Off, Hairdressing On

It's a threat of rain and we don't want Adorable getting ANOTHER bout of pneumonia. She's had plenty before we grouped up.

We're still getting our hair done at a later point today. I need more of my special conditioner, since I'm fresh out this morning.

I may be running a Candy Heist session at some point while Beloved and Adorable are offski overseas. The map-making has commenced. I'll see how quickly I can whip that stuff up.

I have a chance

Tuesday, Patreon and Payday

My PLNs today are mostly to stay at home and get on with getting on. Such as recording more chapters, making my offerings, posting my Patreon stuff, and maybe even finishing the chapter I started yesterday.

I gotta do my stretchies before I get into that stuff though.

That's the good thing about watching videos whilst waiting for my painkillers to kick in [oh btw I got a cyclone headache]. It gives me time to do those stretchies in full.

We get

Sunday, Streaming Nonsense

I have done my stretchies, I have run some more dungeon, and I am about to do my story stream. Once I'm done learning about this one thing I'm watching.

And when I'm done writing this blog. And have published it.

I might be able to do a little more than normal now that I'm waking up at 4AM rather than 3AM, but results may vary. Depending entirely on my ability to want to do anything.

I may yet spend today catching

Saturday, Called For Rain

Adorable doesn't like walking in wet weather because long history of lung infections and consequential pneumonia. So we didn't parkrun today.

Did enjoy breakfast and did a little running around for the QPP.

I think a day without doing very much writing might actually help me today. We shall see.

Story and the other offering very soon. I shall attempt to commit some literature later on. Depends on my mood.

Upcoming: Planning for Crimbo, talking to the kids about gifts and meals,

Wednesday, Date Night, Busy Day, and Nonsense

I have the Offerings to make, five chapters to read [I just finished Chapter 345 of A Devil's Tale btw] some plots to work out, and we're going to visit a new place tonight. Yay.

Beloved is five chapters behind where I'm writing and I have a few ideas with the proceedings and eventual war. With maybe a side of Curse Your Sudden But Inevitable Betrayal for the traitors.

I'll see how things go as they develop. I've made some decisions, so
