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 take me shopping for walking shoes. Augh.
My life is complex and disorganised.
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
Read more »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
Read more »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
Read more »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
Read more »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
Read more »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
Read more »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
Read more »I'm running out of stuff to share because I am devoting my time to other things.
The other things:
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
Read more »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:
I have made the video to my satisfaction, hooray. Now I need to get that onto a thumb drive. And the music onto a different thumb drive. Because technical nonsense.
And then chase down a little something-something for the ceremony. We're telling everyone on the day what that is. No spoilers.
Thumb drives still wig me out a little bit. In this era of clouds and remembering disk drives, it's still ridiculous that you can store a novel or three on something
Read more »...I have no firkin ideas. I am feeling run down and frazzled and frayed around the edges. I might just take a Mental Health Day.
Possibly involving Beloved.
Powers know that we all need a breather to just chill and zone out. Have a bath, watch something stupid, whatever we need to achieve a new equilibrium.
Or maybe another extended nap like the one I took yesterday. And neither of us are allowed to feel bad about not making content/solving problems/
Read more »I have individuated thirty chapters for Mum's ease of access and... she can't access them for some reason -_- fml...
I asked her what she meant by "it won't Expand" but there was no indication about that from her. Fun stuff. I might find out at a later hour. I might have to go there and find out in person.
Not tomorrow, since I am helping Beloved with funerary arrangements and doing the whole prop-up and support thing. I shall be
Read more »Tale Foundry is about to commence the weekly reads. I am prepping for the stream and the entry for this week's competition.
I voted for this one, but I only had a vague idea of what to do with it so... hoist by my own petard, I guess.
I also forgot what day it was, yesterday, so I owe my audience another read to make up for it.
I think I'm getting over the mild lurgi I picked up at Woolies, so
Read more »I need to clean the catio today, and also see the local medico visavis my blood test. I also may have picked up a rhinovirus at Woolies.
Some dingus didn't cover their firkin mouth at the ONE place I forgot to wear my dang mask. FUCK.
I'm going to be exiled to the plague seats out in the open air. All the better to prevent the spread of disease.

Beloved and I have begun to work together on the budget, which
