PLNs

A 353-post collection

Saturday, Nebulous PLNs

We decided to skip parkrun today. Beloved was not up to sitting still on a freezing day while the rest of the fam were off pounding the pavement. Not fun.

I also have NO idea what I'm doing tomorrow, so I've cancelled my stream plans. Again. My players don't mind and I have no audience so... no big loss.

I will catch up on the memes over in the Fediverse, then give y'all a twofer. Unless I'm called away some other nonsense.

Beloved is doing well. The usual irresistible force, she's only slowed down by current circumstances. I was just there to help her around. I should hope that Adorable is keeping her comfortable in my absence.

So. From here to the Fediverse. From there to attempt a twofer.

And since last night I made the mistake of not checking for spinach on my pizza... I am planning to be very ill long about eight this evening. [Yes I did try to pick it all off. I may not have been successful]

I'm not planning any further than that.

Thurdsay, Potential Visitation

I know where my Beloved is and in which hospital. As soon as I get permission to go see her, I am OFFSKI!

Which means that my usual offerings will be DELAYED.

Current total of her woes:

  • Broken arm
  • Broken jaw [now with added plate and braces]
  • Broken shoulder [soon to have a plate]

I just got permission to visit so I shall be gathering whomst wishes to see her. Either way, I shall prepare to read her several chapters if she

Monday, Continuing Meh

My eyes are tired, and I'm pretty sure that's just what happens when I'm off the Ashwagandha.

The alternative I'm using has yet to kick in and re-establish the energy I'm supposed to have when I'm on it.

It's day four [I think? I'm bad at counting] and this stuff's supposed to take weeks. At least there's no danger signs so there's that.

Rest assured that I WILL quit it at the first sign of trouble. I just haven't had any of

Saturday, Parkrun and further PLNs

My bone spurs are pulling bullshit on me again. I need to acquire some little thing to help me out with that. In the meantime, I'm wearing the Torture Shoes whenever I'm not in bed.

Blargh.

FWIW I need a piece of broomstick dowel that's about 20cm long so I can stand on it and roll it around for like five minutes per foot. Then I go sit and roll around ice bottles under my feet until they start to melt.

Fun

Friday, Unfuckening, Parcels, and Sundry Shenanigans

I have cleaned out the catio. I have created and consumed The Bikkie. And I have learned that it's much better to cook the thing in an oven than to fry it like the guy in the tutorial did.

Baking a BREAD PRODUCT is better than frying it. WHO COULD HAVE THOUGHT!

After I'm done with the offerings, I shall go pick up a parcel. Then perhaps add some groceries on the way back.

THEN I can mess around on Satisfactory or

Thursday, Game Night and Game Day?

We're playing TTRPGs with the rainbow crew tonight. I may be playing Satisfactory with Adorable this afternoon. But I have to get a rattle on with my offerings.

Not helped by my mentoring one of my Beginners about plot elements and making a story tastier for the audience.

Currently providing insights into writing psychopaths is dividing my attention.

I should try to focus on the offerings. More time to play means more time to hang out [even virtually] with Adorable.

Let's get

Friday, Shenanigans Ahoy

It's another sleepover tonight, so we can go together to a closer parkrun tomorrow, so we can get our hair did later in the day... so we can be all done up relatively fancy at the Meet The Fam thing on Sunday.

...huzzah...

It's another thing I'm nervous about, so I heartily expect to be exhausted on the following Monday.

I didn't even know I was stressed on Wednesday night until I fell over and slept through most of yesterday. It'll be

Thursday, Game Night and Fun Times

The QPP went out to watch The Little Mermaid. The unnecessary live action remake version of it.

Make no mistake, Halley Bailey does amazing work in this film. It is not her fault that she's been acting against soulless CGI puppets and one guy who can't really sing.

I was not impressed by the Seemingly Mandatory Lin Manuel Miranda rap. And it's not his fault that the corporate mouse owns his soul.

I would like to know who held the decision button

Monday, Nebulous PLNs

Charlie 3 is having his official birthday bash today and people are not allowed to complain about how their kids are starving during the multi-billion-dollar events that are sure to be going on.

But that's apparently okay because of the one-sixteenth of British economy derived from tourists and tabloids devoted to the royals 9_9

[MeMum's a loyalist and I will for sure hear this argument today. People are STARVING so an elderly man can wear a fancy hat with diamonds on

Friday, Ongoing PLNs

Beloved is off on adventures that include a journey far afield. Which means that I may be doing parkrun tomorrow all on my only. It's a possibility that Miss Chaos may not wish to do the thing tomorrow morning.

So far, bribing her with hot chocolate and brunch afterwards seems to be working.

Wish it'd work on Mayhem. His problem is the covered shoe requirement. My lad has wide feet, and it's difficult to get a fit that doesn't get at him

Monday, Whoopsidoodle

I forgot what day it was. Something about napping during a day makes me lose track of time.

The good news is that I was there for the Foundry's backup reads. And now I shall be going henceforth to do the offerings.

I am going to focus on making a thing. I shall quit at the frustration point for sure. The point is I'm kind'a tired of saying I want to do things and then not actually doing them.

I am going

Tuesday, Onwards with the Offerings

Yesterday was a marathon.

  • Load the car with the full orange bags ready for a cans run
  • Get ready for the day, including Torture Shoes for the betterment of my train wreck body
  • Do the Tale Foundry backup reads
  • Take off for a long, long drive to the cans place
  • Two trips with the trolley to cash in all the cans, come up $20 shorter than normal because someone didn't crush their containers
  • Offski to Costco to fetch TP and Nori
  • Thereafter

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

I spent another night alone because Beloved was off helping Friendo Awesome fend off a house inspection yesterday.

I get to cuddle her again when she gets home at noonish.

And that I shall enjoy.

I shall be working on my offerings via stream today. Just as soon as TaleFoundry has finished the reads.

I might even write a little bit of a chapter at a later hour. Speaking of...

Chapter Count: Finished chapter 278 and about to launch 279. Hooray.

Saturday, Parkrun and Game PLNs

I managed to get Miss Chaos to come with, though she had to sit at the first bench. She gave it a good go and we shall see whether she's amenable next week.

Looks like KIABIL is super un-enthusiastic about doing the parkrun. He's not really scheduling his rest cycles to make sure he can participate.

ANYway. I have offerings to make, and some WIP to write and perhaps some dwarves to micromanage.

Let's see how that goes.

Friday, Ongoing PLNs

I'm doing my usual Friday nonsense. Unfucked the Catio already, and I'll be shortly prepping The Bikkie(tm).

Thereafter I shall be doing the Starters and such.

The wholemeal starter, known in house as Wilson, will be retiring to the freezer today. I have run out of the wholemeal flour to feed it with. Henceforth, only the "Instructions" starter will be part of my routine. Until I run out of flour.

When I am in a mood to make breads again, I
