PLNs

A 424-post collection

Saturday, Parkrun and Further PLNs

I aim get the buttons sorted out this afternoon. I have the mock-ups to go off of when I do all of that. I have the assets ready. I have the instructions. All that's left is a few minutes of jiggery-pokery.

All that's standing in my way is my inhibiting terror that this will all blow up on me. Again.

I've had so many setbacks on this thing that I'm overdue some setforwards.

But before I get on with that, I'm doing parkrun with the fam, having some brunch, and reading to Beloved. And Mayhem wants some social time at some point so that adds to today's fun.

I'm a busy, busy bean.

Have no fear. There will be my usual offerings at some point today.

Monday, Backup Reads and Leyland's Tour

The cats need food, I need to find a knee brace that will keep my kneecap in one firkin place.

The cloth ones are good for bad days, but one particular knee is doing things worse. I might ask about non-thermal knee sleeves while I'm there.

Australia's hot enough without thermal knee sleeves -_-

I tried the spicy sardines this morning, and they're not that bad. My fears of the spicy are dwindling.

When the reads end, I shall be offski

Sunday, Game Night Accomplished

It was a fun one, this morning. Lots of laughs, a few bits of strategy. More than one fuckup on my account. But the important thing is lots and lots of laughs.

I've had a good lie in this morning, so this afternoon is devoted to my offerings and then unriddling what's going wrong with my updates.

That promises to be "fun".

But for now, I get a wriggle on with everything you expect to see.

Thursday, Mor Shopping PLNs

We need paper towels. I need coffee. I have further PLNs to make myself some Ginger Con Carne in an effort to train up my baby tongue. I'm sick of being vulnerable to capsaicin.

That's the non-standard ideas in mind for today.

I checked on the feedback from the GameMaker community, nothing. I looked for FUSE in the normal places. Nothing. Looks like I'm going to have to carefully read the instructions in the error and then go poke around and attempt

Wednesday, Hello 2025

Happy New Year from my little patch of sunny Queensland. I plan on trying to train up my baby tongue to the accepted norm of "spicy" so I don't have to be a wet blanket in social meal situations.

My resolutions this year are:

  • Return to a writing routine
  • Spend 10 minutes a day working on my passion project, minimum
  • Find something positive in every day

Sticking to three seems more do-able than having a list an arm long.

I just finished

Monday, Shopping and Bread

Finally got the dough ready for a baking day, but I also need to get a few things here and there, so... shopping first.

I am definitely going to spend some of my mad money on Steam cards. Chants of Sennar and a few other little treats shall be mine. Muahahaha...

Then all I have to do is engineer the time to play them.

One thing at a time.

Tomorrow, I think I'll be helping Chaos make her kit bread. Needs must

Thursday, A Day of Rest

I got MeMum home and helped her with a quirk of her laptop. We might have to do some jiggery-pokery down the line. It's looking like enshittification has made its slimy little had reach towards Mum's bank account.

Lucky for us that we can attach a new monitor and keyboard to the same processing power of the compy. That'll work for a while, I should hope.

I'll get cracking on the twoferfest overdue today. And then take it exceedingly easy into the

Monday, Luncheon Expedition

Word of warning: I have no idea if or when today's offerings will be out. I am BUSY until at least Boxing Day.

Today: Driving out to collect MeMum for a lunch with other relatives pre-crimbo. I also have to organise the kids into being presentable. Fun.
Tomorrow: Going to the doctor about my toes [more on this later] then dropping off a thing at Adorable's, then picking up MeMum for convenience purposes for the day after.
Christmas Day: Familial nonsense including

Sunday, Sesh Done and Shopping PLNs

Beloved has a fridge in her rental car, so there will be Crimbo prawns. Huzzah.

I do love Crimbo prawns :D

As soon as I finish this blog entry, I'm offski again to acquire more last-minute things. The good news is that my hand-baked presents are wrapped and ready for delivery. Secure from assault from local predators and cat hair. Hooray.

I shall get to today's offerings when I'm done with the last-minute shuffle.

As for the session... My players were all

Saturday, Parkrun, Foot Injury, and Wrapping PLNs

I sat out parkrun this week because of my toe blister. The site is reddened and swollen today, so it's going to get another dose of Savlon when I get back home. If it gets worse, it's going to the Doctor after Crimbo.

Powers know I won't be able to see the Doc before Crimbo.

I have almost all I need for the final gift prep. I would like a thing to make the lable writing fancy, but if I have to

Wednesday, Rant Due and NBN!

Between one and five this afternoon, the NBN crew come around to do the box installations that will make us fully connected. And then I find out whether or not the weather is going to have a bad influence on our connectivity.

Yay.

Tomorrow, I should also feed my starter, no matter what else I have going on.

...which reminds me, I should get my butter out of the fridge so that it's nice and soft for bikkies. That done, I shall

Tuesday, Free-Roaming Shenanigans

Following my foot stretchies and organising my travelling meds, I am offski to MeMum's to help her go to place and do thing. Yay.

So my daily tale won't be happening before sunset, belike. I may get a few more sentences into A Devil's Tale at about lunchtime, and I am counting that win.

As for the remainder of my offerings, if they don't happen today, I will catch up tomorrow.

Meanwhile... the rains are threatening to flood Adorable's locale again. So

Monday, Attempts at Organisation

I have some butter fridge-defrosting at the moment. I've located my melon baller. I know where all my bits are. I shall locate and acquire some lables tomorrow.

Almost all set up for making my Crimbo present for everyone. Yay.

I'm taking my lappy for the hurry-up-and-wait. Which means there shall be progress on yet another chapter of A Devil's Tale.

I sincerely hope to get it finished early next year.

I also sincerely hope to stop at a sextology. Mostly because
