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 due today. I shall attempt to make a more detailed doodle than the ones I've been doing to date. We'll see how that goes.

Onwards to the expected nonsense.

Friday, One Emergency at a Time Please

I have to make bread. I have found and ordered the spandek to fix the catio. One issue down. I discovered that I still get nerve jangles in my thumb, but not for the big things. I found this out when messing around with the bread incubator. But I can still handle my cane without janglies, and write with a pen...

So yeah. I started a second story in the Butcher's Book.

Relating to the title for today's blog... I had a

Monday, PLNs underway

Adorable doesn't have any ideas for helping me fix LMMS, but has recommended an alternate music maker. I'll be looking into that later in the day.

I now have 89 chapters until ADT is declared finished and I can take a firkin break.

Tomorrow, I'm offski to help MeMum back up her Kindle purchases, and find somewhere she can obtain ebooks for her Kindle without giving any more money to Amazon.

It has to be possible, and a lot of authors are

Monday, Some Progress at Least

Miss Chaos is at least making an effort, so that's something. I need to figure out where she went wrong with a part of it. Get her to re-do that part and see if it works when she follows the instructions more precisely.

There's less garbage in the carport and there will be more space for her bike. In good time.

After I'm done with the backup reads, I'll supervise her practicing riding her bike up and down the road.

I have

Friday, Physio and Fudging it

I might have two breakthroughs. Working at the Gamemaker issue from two sides. On one side, the web install and the community help, on the other - the Steam version and its virtual Windows drive.

Maybe approaching it from two directions will box the dang thing in and keep it still so I can work on it.

Fingers crossed.

I had to wait for better internet to get one potential fix done. I'm waiting on feedback for the other side. And a

Monday, Pseuducku Progress and Stream

I have a stream going in a handful of minutes, and I have a new entry in the Pseuducku Progress Log. Huzzah. I am now moving on to general layout questions. I might have to ask them individually.

...that's a pain in the anatomy for another day.

Today, I shall be streaming a flash fiction! Yay!

Tonight, I shall have a date night with Beloved! Also Yay!

For the rest of today, I shall attempt to de-stress from the meltdown I had

Friday, Appointments Made!

I finally tracked down all the doctors and have appointments to go place and do thing. Yay.

I'm going to get my heel seen to at about the same time that I'll be due to publish my All Hallow's Read story. Or at least commence on that nonsense.

I'm also seeing another medico about special meds at about the same time that I find out whether or not Agent #3 likes my nonsense. Synchronicity be weird around here.

I really need to

Saturday, Parkrun, Bug chasing, and Hair

There's been some alarm from my readers over the prospect of my moving [though I can't fathom why. I find a way to work around every impediment in my path] so let me ease some concerns with this:

It's all at least a year in the future IF things go well for us.

By that time, the kids could have lives of their own. By that time, I could have an author career. I could have a multi-bajillion-dollar deal with some megacorporation

Sunday, Game Morning, Daylight Saving, and Bread PLNs

The gang and I had fun with spider murder, zombie Beholders, and malevolent creatures all around. I realised that I had to feed Wilson, my wholemeal starter, so now there's a starter harvest 'bikkie' baking in the oven.

I top mine with sliced olives, sesame seeds, and salt. Baked at 150 celcius for 35 to 45 minutes, or until golden-brown.

I'm taking a more relaxed attitude to my offerings today. Just chilling as I go forth.

The weather is turning colder and

Thursday, Aiming for Progress

I shall be delving into further education in Stencyl today. Not doing programming, but doing learning. Working out how to do a thing rather than making said thing go.

Not a lot of visible progress there.

I'll be moving five more blog entries out of Wordpress and into my new blogging site as well.

And the regular series of offerings, of course.

...which I'm now doing single-handedly because Jolie demands the company of my left hand.

I might be able to get

Challenge #04071-K053: Situation Versus Circumstances

Lilicoon looks at the painting that hangs in her home, and smiles in memory. She tells the visiting Jay how she and Sunshine met as friends, and the first time they had tea together. Grateful for that meeting, because through that meeting, her future was secure in meeting Jay.

There was a goddess above her fireplace. Well. Pseudo-fireplace. Sometimes, a home needs a mantlepiece to display objects of pride. This was her home.

Tuesday, Patreon, Gravel, and a Day Off

The gravel was announced before I was done with my stretchies. So I had to hurry up. Paused stretchies, put on my knees, put on my pants, fed the cats, roused the kids, and set up for a stakeout.

I was just ready to sit and write and wait when the crane truck turned up.

We now have 400kg (62 stone + 14 lbs) of gravel which, I hope and pray, will do great things towards making the swamp less of a swamp,

Saturday, Parkrun and Progress

I have finally and at last finished Chapter 358 of A Devil's Tale, the epic story of a devilborn whose love life has gone to hell. The chapter was dragging under the weight of shinier ideas elsewhere. [coughcough Astarion Baldursgate coughcough]

I am getting there, though.

Bit by bit, I shall reach the point in which the mandatory war happens, thence to be followed by snippets of Happily Ever After. For all the epilogues I planned when I was in the middle

Monday, Foundry Reads and Progress

Thanks to Internet Outage, I had a depresso nap and ended up writing chapter 344 of A Devil's Tale between 1 and 4 AM.

Yeah, I keep messing up my sleep cycle.

I forgot my stretchies and borked my wrists doing the story for the Foundry's next prompt. Whoops. A contributing factor may also be writing an entire chapter at BF in the morning. Double whoops.

And I have yet to engage in my normal offerings.

Let's get on with those. Starting

Thursday, Sundry PLNs

I get Beloved to huggle during most of next week! So partly motivated to do at least a chapter a day. But also borkable wrists and reminding myself to take it easy.

The real problem with doing my stretchies is that I have to set a 30-second timer off while holding my hands in a specific and uncomfortable position. Whee fun.

My aims today:

  • The daily tale and meme as per every day
  • Finish a chapter of A Devil's Tale [currently working
