PLNs

A 447-post collection

Friday, ANZAC Day and Commenced PLNs

Today's the day Australia and New Zealand remembers the fallen in war. Age shall not weary them and so forth.

This morning, after cats, self-maintenance, and foot stretchies, I started braiding jute twine for my new cane cord. I have figured out that I can leave it off my cane until it's nearly done.

I'm also reasonably sure I can braid the entire thing instead of braiding it partway and then making a thicker cord out of the extant cord. I know the technique but... could be troublesome. Best to keep things simple for version one.

I will keep fixing things until they're broken beyond my ability to do that.

Onwards to my offerings.

Thursday, Bread and Physio

Here is my cunning PLN:

  1. Start one loaf off [X]
  2. Make offerings whilst loaf continues process
  3. Bake loaf
  4. Go to physio
  5. Go process the second loaf and do things for creativity purposes, huzzah

I can make a start on the new cord for my cane, but I can't get to the tricky part until I have the entire week to do it.

We'll see how I go.

Starting with today's offerings. Huzzah.

Wednesday, Rant Due and Patreon Overdue

I got a notification this morning that a parcel had arrived at my AusPost locker. It was the cable I ordered sometime last week.

It's unriddled and plugged in before I turned my compy on and the tablet looks like it works. Huzzah! I shall be trying that out in the fullness of time.

Which will be much much much much much much later on today.

I have things to do first.

The daily offerings, the patreon stuff, and the rant that's

Monday, Backup Reads

I got read on stream, so my goal is to get the group to fix what went wrong with my story for that week. I frequently describe my writing process of, "Chronicling what the voices in my head are doing." Learning how to make a better second draft might be a start on improving myself.

There is still chocolate so I am technically off the Keto wagon. Yum num num num :D

I shall be researching how to add instruments and loops

Friday, Erastide Commence

It's Good Friday today, and I have vague PLNs to get fish and chips at some point. Before that, though, I shall render my offerings for all of you, my dear readers.

The weather looks nice enough to maybe finally make the repairs to the catio. Fingers crossed that Beloved is able to be whisked away for the process. Powers only know if there's going to be clusterfucks on her end to put the kybosh on those PLNs.

There will be parkrun

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

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
