Squeezing tasks out of minutes to spare included a brief Leyland's Tour for household supplies. I am finally back and about to make my offerings.
I have a Starter to feed, the harvest of that to bake, a treato to ingest, and all my daily offerings as well as attempting to make a thing firkin work.
Yes, I have come full circle with attempting to make Stenycyl work again :P
I will hit that thing with a hammer, so help me.
Onwards I toddle...
Mayhem had a later start this morning and an earlier finish this arvo. I have less hours for my assorted shenanigans today. Including making sure Owlbear works on OBS with everything else.
I have yet to work out KittyCam for my writing stream, and using the intro timer as well.
Baby steps.
Today, my priority is the offerings first, then a little screwing around in Stencyl. Just to have my chart picked in the new colour. If I ragequit Stencyl before the
Read more »I was up at 5 to feed the cats and my starter so that I would have ample time to start my starter so that it would be ready by after 9AM. Bread math.
I have the dough autolysing as I type.
I pln on getting a wriggle on with the processing and hope that I get most things done before it's time for the long drive to fetch son-of-mine.
A little bit difficult because my fluffy brain would rather zone out
Read more »I have a shrink appointment in a few short minutes. I also have to figure out what I'm ranting about this week. Probably a little thing about my favourite band.
I really have to plan my bread, this week. Juggling time windows so I can have bread before I run out of it. Which means that I have to do my stocking up today. Thank grop I only need to refresh the sardine supply.
...and snag some croissants for Beloved's digestive nonsense.
Read more »Awake at 5-ish, stretchies until 6, feed the cats, torture feet. Continue with the stretchies (currently incomplete), ferry Mayhem to work. Back home, attend the backup reads.... and actually get to participate.
I still need to work on my daily offerings, post my Patreon stuff, prep to pitch again (I'm overdue), pick up Mayhem, pick up Beloved, and maybe get some time to myself.
Whoof.
I am going to finish my stretchies and then do what I can to get on with
Read more »Done so far:
[X] Tortured my feet
[X] Driven Mayhem to work
[X] Cleaned out the catio
[X] Finished my stretchies
[X] Wrote another half-chapter of A Devil's Tale
Yet to do are the daily offerings and maybe an attempt to unfuck Stencyl's shenanigans.
And I still have to go fetch Mayhem this afternoon.
Tomorrow, I have to get up early for parkrun and, perhaps, an entire day of QPP fun. Which means that I might not have time to make my
Read more »Following Wednesday's weekly blog thing, and following a discussion with Beloved about a thing I said in there, I can now make a very special announcement:
Book 4 of A Devil's Tale has an official end, which means the chapters I'm involved with are now in Book 5.
This means that part of my nonsense for today will be collating the advance reader copy of Book 4, and attempting to consider ten exit questions for the dang thing.
I
Read more »I'm squeezing productivity out of my minutes available this morning. I have a two-hour round trip commencing in a few minutes, followed by shopping for varied essentials. Then there's the time window to wedge in the rest of my offerings today.
When Mayhem moves to part-time, following his training, we'll both have a schedule to operate with.
This is more planning than I'm used to.
I'm halfway tempted to talk about scheduling issues this week. I am NOT going grumpy again. I'll
Read more »Mayhem has a part-time job. Which, because public transit two and from takes THREE FUCKING HOURS EACH WAY, I am involved with. Delivery and retrieval. So now I have a time window and a dedicated four hours' of driving each day. Huzzah.
I am therefore squeezing in anything I can into the intervening hours.
Doing a little is better than doing nowt.
I'm going to finish my doses, finish my stretches, and get on with my offerings. In that order.
Read more »I have, perhaps, a handful of hours to make and post my offerings before I am called to QPP-fetching duty.
I have yet to clean the catio, but I have ferried Mayhem out to get his work clothes, all paid for by the nice PPL at APM. He even got a free beanie out of it.
I will get to the catio after I make my offerings.
I also need to talk to the Stencyl Discord about the latest nonsense happening with
Read more »Rain and rail closures prevented my love and I uniting last night. So I made a lazy meal and hauled off to bed.
Today, I have the opportunity to make sure we have supplies. Stuff for the kids. Things for my good self. That kind of business.
So I got to strap on my knees, check my list, and set forth on a grand tour of assorted shops to go get things.
Yay.
After I return and have my post-shopping treato, that's
Read more »I cut my stretchies short for the reads and have not tormented my feet. I have the offerings to make and then... I must get brave and work out the jiggery-pokery that may indeed make Stencyl work.
If it does, then I shall record some potential sound assets for Pseuducku and add them to the files that will eventually make the program go.
If not... I will seek out help regarding what to do to make it work.
When it does, I

That's happening after a few days.
Today... I will get my offerings launched, and spend a few free hours farting around and enjoying myself.
Work/life balance. Or, in my case, work/get-a-life balance ;)
Come

In other news: I have a new thing that someone has called me.
Anime Samurai Ninja.
Yes, folks. They guy at the coffee place remembers me as "the anime samurai ninja" which amuses me greatly.
Anime: Dyed hair
Samurai: The walking stick hanging like a katana off my belt
Ninja: my nigh permanent mask
I have five chapters ready for recording. I have a fresh idea burning through my skull, so I'm kind of compelled to get that one to a point of stasis. I've got some jiggery-pokery to do to make progress towards Pseuducku.
I'll focus on the offerings first. Then do the voice recordings and, if there's some time between that and bread, fiddle about with the jiggery-pokery.
And oh yes, it's a baking day. I have the first loaf rising in the incubator
