Friday, Forgotten PLNs and Chaos

Not Miss Chaos, the generalised chaos that seems to go hand-in-hand with my life as I know it.

So it's natural that I forgot I was taking Pippi to get her shots. I also forgot that Beloved and I were getting our hair did today.

Mayhem refused to help me with the recycling, so I got Miss Chaos to do the same thing and will be paying her when all the work is done. Win for her.

I have made a start on level 13 of the maps for D&D. I'm spending some time crafting the tokens, and some time drawing the map. It's working so far. Nicking some pictures from D&D public sources can help, but sometimes I need some avatar creators.

Because my personal art skills are a little bit on the whiffy side when using a mouse. Trust me on this.

I shall be taking my tablet with me so I can work on Chapter 146 of A Devil's Tale and I'm headed towards more fun parts of the story, so I fully expect to be rocketting onwards.

...Mum hasn't sent me any updates on where she is in the test read. I get it. Real life gets in the way of things. She can't take my book with her everywhere like I take my tablet to write it.

Speaking of PLNs, I may not have any time to actually do the cans run today. And I'm doing the Parkrun tomorrow. And D&D on Sunday night.

I had tentatively reserved Monday for helping MeMum with Crimbolio shopping [and do some myself] but I have no idea if Beloved can do the driving. AUGH.

And Mayhem wants to be trundling around on the coming Tuesday.

I'll figure it out. I'm good at that.

Long(?) Monday, Light Writing

I shall be streaming soon, and the usual post-stream nap nonsense shall also be happening.

For the rest of the day, I'll probably be noodling about with A Devil's Tale. Assuming that I won't be able to get help sorting out the sullage pipe situation.

Tomorrow, or the day after? We should have the moneys to go get the cats more food.

I have few other plns than that.

...but I somehow also need to PLN for Crimbolio.

Thursday, Messing About

I have Streamlabs. What I don't have is any idea how to tweak it do do what I want. Some educational videos are in order, methinks.

I shall continue with set dressing and fic tagging, but I shall learn how to do ONE thing with Streamlabs today. It may not be a thing I want, but I shall be learning.

Turns out, I can only use one profile in Streamlabs, so maybe learning IF I can use another profile might be the

Tuesday, Patreon and PLNs

Today, one of my primary goals is working on my Twitch channel. Not just for my morning Instants, but also for the other stuff that's behind the curtain.

Working on my novel, tagging fics, prepping the pre-publishing nonsense, and the dungeon building for the upcoming second part of the campaign I'm running.

That's a lot of my day, all things considered.

I should also be working on sound bites and gimmicks for people to play with when I do stream. I might

Sunday, Tale Foundry and Game Night

Tale Foundry will be live soon, which means I have a chance to do my favourite thing - work on a story for the prompt before the prompt is officially announced.

And there's Game Night tonight, which means I have an early sleep planned in the afternoon.

Looks like the game stream will be Minecraft. It might not. Time, as always, will tell.

Adding to my frustrations with TaleSpire is the fact that NOW they add in water blocks. So now one

Sunday, Game Night Again

The game with the more local maniacs happened between eight and midnight last night, so I am even more worn-out bean than I should be.

So I shall publish this and then catch up on some sleeps before the story goes out.

Mum's got the ball rolling with a new floor, and set up a contingency plan because mortality is a thing. Yay I guess.

I have a story done, it just won't be posted for a while, and Beloved wants to

Friday, Unfuckening and Weekend PLNs

Today's the day of catio cleaning, starter feeding, and perhaps some extra home unfucking on the side.

Mum's got the go-ahead to fix her house, and that means my weekend is potentially booked to help her with her stuff.

Fun times ahead. Whee.

Until bulletins to the contrary, I shall carry on with the routine as previously outlined. Fingers crossed, but if Game Night doesn't happen, you know why.

I panicked and forgot it was Friday, today. Rushed to prepare for the

Thursday, Spinning Plates

I have to stop wanting to do more things. In the space of an early wakening, I almost volunteered myself for: doing audiobooks, making animations, creating some variety of serial entertainment for YouTube, and maybe being involved with the filming of A Devil's Tale.

Fortunately, Beloved is 90% of my self-restraint.

I kept to reading her some chapters and leaving it there.

I must focus on finishing some projects before beginning others. Making more work to do is just going to make

Tuesday, Patreon and Vet Visit

Jolie is headed back to the vet's today, to see how she's healing up post-surgery. She should soon be back on the kibbles.

Soon to be supplanted with very different (expensive?) kibbles that are better for her teeth. Not looking forward to finding those, to be honest.

But I also want to be a good cat parental, so I gotta do the thing.

I also have Patreon posts to create, a Tale Foundry entry to concoct, and all the other things I

Long Monday, Kitty Dental Fun

Poor Jolie is currently locked in the laundry without food and we have to take her water away at a certain hour so that it's safe to anesthetise her for dental work.

Which is going to cost us three figures.

Yay.

Since it's also Long Monday and I have the usefulness capacity of meringue umbrella, Beloved will be doing the morning stuff whilst I catch up on a little sleep.

I will likely be doing the afternoon stuff because I will be

Sunday, Solutions!

The epic saga of the Sound System is done! With the purchase of a new amp, and some other incidental accessories, we have a working record player! Yay!

We also have a working casette player, but all my old tapes may have become warped since the last time I put them down. Sigh.

At least vinyl firkin lasts.

Tale Foundry is on and I have already written and posted the story for the next week, so it's no shocker that everyone knows

Sunday, Tale Foundry and Game Night

Tale Foundry has delayed to another day, so I'm filling in time until Stream O'Clock. Which means I might have time to resume some of my bullshit getting the entry done before the prompt is announced.

None of the folks who can share a game are able to play with me, so I shall be streaming more of the Cat Game. Yay.

The usual stuff will continue after I have a look at the poll on Tale Foundry's Patreon. The good news

Friday, Unfuckening & Some Free Time?

Beloved was out later than I was awake, last night. Visits to relatives post-funeral, sorting things out, I will hear about it when she wakes up.

Today's her day at home so we may get some stuff done in house. Which will include the usual Catio cleanse. I shall attempt to get a dishwash underway as well.

I am attempting a day without coffee, since the extra cuppa pre-game didn't do very much for me. I'll see how far that goes.

So

Tuesday, Patreon & Stuff

I'm running out of stuff to share because I am devoting my time to other things.

The other things:

  • Summarising Adapting
  • Individuating chapters of A Devil's Tale
  • Dressing chambers for my players to Dragon in
  • Tagging past tales for the app that really needs to get out there

Each of these takes more effort than you might think. Lots of mental effort, reading, and in some cases, jiggery-pokery.

At some point between those tasks, I shall be booking Jolie in for her

Sunday, Game Night & Unfucking Stuff

Beloved and I have a mutual way to monitor our spending, so that's a step on the long road towards fiscal stability.

My other steps are taking longer.

Like - getting books ready for publishers. And making my firkin APP ready for shipping out to the app stores. And individuating chapters for Mum's ease of access and thereby editorial input.

Which will be attacked in fits and bits at a little at a time. My PLN goes:

  • One week's of stories tagged
