Tuesday, Catching Up and Roof Nonsense

There's a mob giving our roof an inspection for hail damage. It's free, but I can see the fishhook from a mile off. They're going to recommend a total roof overhaul with their special company, and find a way to get extra money beyond the $500 they promise to cover in addition to whatever the insurance is going to spring for.

I will ask for it all in writing and then forward that to Beloved for the yae or nae.

Today, my PLNs include catching up on the story video output, the mandatory offerings, and instructing Cursor in which buttons do what. I aim to write a bit more of ADT before I get on the Cursor thing.

Onwards to getting on with all of that.

Monday, Jabs, Shopping and EXTRA

I have people coming around to inspect the roof for hail damage (free) in half an hour. I have to chase Chaos to get ready for a public appearance so we can both get Flu and Rona jabs.

I might as well top up supplies while we're out, 'cause there's no telling how down we're going to be afterwards. Then I go home and work on my offerings, including manually reworking the subtitles for Friday's video because the alternative is subtitles that

Sunday, Relatively Lazy Day

I'm starting to enjoy having weekends to relax in. Even though this half of it might also involve finally doing the subtitles for the storytime video on Peertube for yesterday.

It might not. There have been embuggerances this time around.

I'll get there.

And speaking of getting there, Chaos and I are getting Flu and Rona shots tomorrow. I thoroughly suspect I will be down for the count for next week.

Thoroughly prepared to be VERY gentle with myself next week.

I've

Saturday, Parkrun and Progress PLNs

I am not working on ADT nor Pseuducku today. I'm also not working on them tomorrow. That is something of a relief, as I need a break from my own expectations.

Burnout prevention is very important.

Mayhem got a start on the first loaf, and I'll be finishing it off and working on the second one later today.

The offerings should be happening shortly.

...probably slower because a cat just settled on my left hand.

Friday, An Abundance of STUFF to Do

I have starter in the incubator because Chaos has discovered the magic of pan-fried bread. Looks like I'll be making bread on a weekly basis. Maybe even bi-weekly. I aim to finish one chapter of ADT this week, and I want to make some significant progress on Pseuducku.

Then there's the usual daily offerings, the video production, and maybe even some time for myself.

I also have a catio to clean, which I will be getting to the instant this blog is

Thursday, Further Experimentation

Yesterday was pretty much a wash. Most of my time was exhausted in spinning my wheels. I have a lot more time today now that I've got an idea of where I'm going.

Fingers crossed, I have something of a prototype by tomorrow. Because tomorrow... I have to start bread again.

Yes, my lovely readers, both the kids have discovered the wonders of fried toast. So it looks like I'll be making bread once a week.

Not a bad thing, to be

Monday, Crappy Time Ahead

I could not get to sleep last night. ALL. Fucking. NIGHT.

Today is going to SUUUUUUCK...

I'll be recording a story for the videos, editing and posting an older story for TubeTube, and talking to my fellow writers in the Archives.

According to my internet investigations, the best place to get Rona jabs is Priceline Pharmacy, so that's where I'll be calling tomorrow before I stop by. I'll even ask the kids to get their refresher needle too.

My primary focus is

Saturday, Parkrun and Learning Journey

I have to admit, AI is here to stay. But that doesn't mean I'm going to use it very much. It's never doing my writing or art for me.

Beloved uses it for coding and I've been shown how terrifyingly good it is at doing that. And if I want Pseuducku to be playable this decade... I'll have to do that.

I still don't know how ethical it is, but... it's here to stay. If Beloved trusts it to write code, I

Thursday, Physio and Proceeding Apace

I almost forgot to finish off the video I made myself have due, last night. But I made myself get up and finish it, and then post it. Which means that I am free and clear to start sharing on my socials.

Next week, I record a little outro advertising my Peertube posts earlier than whenever they find them on TubeTube.

Maybe it'll work. It's worth a shot.

But my lovely followers get the Peertube video before TubeTube does.

I have to

Wednesday, Rant Due, and Other Things

I don't know what I'm going talk about this week. Maybe state of the WIP, maybe state of the Author. Maybe a little bit of both. Maybe something about my new video editing work.

I dunno, but I'm doing it first.

It's the only way I can be certain it gets done at all. I can't do a "Reasons to Love" on Murderbot: The Series because I'm still evaluating it on its own merits. I'm running out of stuff that can be

Friday, Proceeding Apace

Working out the routine for the storytime videos, I think I have a rhythm now.

  1. Record story
  2. Send to Adorable
  3. Receive Subbie file
  4. Edit the final nonsense

Huzzah.

This time, I'm going to try making my preferred subbie format before I get going on the video project. Maybe I can get the format to stay this time around. Nevertheless, I have NOTES so I can replicate them at will.

By hook or by crook, I will get this WORKING.

I can do

Tuesday, Patreon and Shopping Expedition

I had PLNs to go shopping today. And then I noticed a blind spot creeping into my field of vision. Whoopsy doopsy, I have a stress headache creeping up on me, so I added some painkillers to my morning doses.

The good news is: the blind spot is easing away.

The bad news: I still have a cyclone migrane centred in my left eye socket.

So I'm working on my offerings until the painkillers finish driving my head owies away. Which I'm

Monday, Backup Reads and Minor Victories

I now have a new cord for my cane that should last a decent while. It will contain my folded cane, though it is a bit too loose. Something easily fixed by an improvised woggle bead.

[Shown here: A folded cane bound up with its own carry-cord, which is a two-tone braided cord with a large carabiner attached. There is a striped bulldog clip with its handles removed keeping the cord tight and the cane folded.]

I dunno what else to call

Friday, Bread baking and Catio cleaning

We're doing bread shaping experiments today. I need to sort out the catio, today. One of those is dependant on Mayhem being conscious. The other is waiting on my own impetus.

Inertia is my copilot.

Today, I also plan on learning ANOTHER editing program to make subtitles. May it not also need jiggery-pokery to do text boxes and the other things.

Here's my last method to make subtitles:

  1. Dial up the subtitle part of the Titles menu
  2. Copy in enough text to
