I'm working on Map 16 with some genuine ideas of what the hell I'm doing. My aim is to get a chapter summarised, a week tagged, and some jiggery-pokery done for the dungeon.
I also would dearly love to get another chapter done. Keep ahead of the curve.
We get paid tomorrow. Huzzah. Which means we can breathe a little bit easier until next paycheque.
Tale Foundry's doing the backup readings right now, so my story will be happening whenever I can wrangle the minutes.
I have given up on ClipStudio for the meanwhile, and have resolved myself towards creating an all-new, all-different cover for 2022's Year of Instants.
It's been a trial.
So far, I have created the very essential melty clock. Behold:
[Shown here, a clock with visible gears and the 12, 3, 6, and 9 positions replaced with Dec, Mar, Jun, and Sep respectively. The bottom side of the clock is oozing and dripping as if it is becoming liquid]
Fingers crossed, it's a

I'm still horking up chunks, but they're not green, so I'm not worried.
I'm also working on clearing out my lungs from even more blockages, but that's a slow progress kind of thing. Baby steps. Teeny weenie tiny baby steps.
...infitessimal, annoying, baby steps...
Turns out I was worrying for weeks over an absent utterance by MeMum that she both dismissed and firkin forgot about. ARGH. I got myself worked up over essentially nothing. Growl.

...too many dang diagonals and round rooms in this one gone. Pleh.
I find out when I am done furnishing level 9 though. No peeking. If I looked at the entire thing, I would balk and

Vax news:
I personally hate what's going on with the government information sites. It's less accessible and that's likely so that nobody looks close enough to see how bad we're failing at controlling the damn disease.
We're not "living with the virus", we're letting it take over.
Today, I am

Beloved has had some very rough days at the office, so to speak. So progress on Mobile Instants has come to a screeching halt. If Beloved can't figure out the unriddling of the problem, then I have NO hopes.
Fingers crossed that the unriddling happens today.
Also in my PLNs:

I did the coding yesterday. What I lack is the skills to understand a decent half of it. That's my job this morning.
The bread I made on Friday is not fit for human consumption. I make more this Friday. I also order more flour because I'm running a smidge low on supplies.
The daily morning vegemite soup seems to be working. When skin does slide off, it's sliding

My peeps. My dear darling peeps. I make bread because I care about you. Don't let it sit out and get mouldy or I will do murders... Because I spent time and effort on the bread and money on the flour.

In the news:
I have Patreon stuff to post and the good news for the higher tiers is that I finally have a chapter of KOSBOB finished. Fresh outta the oven like yesterday because that's when I wrote a number that was higher than the last number.
Today, I write the first words in the next chapter.
In other news:
Remember Tuesday's shenanigans that included an extended journey all around my neck of the woods? I've got the same shenanigans but no shopping trip.
I'm also re-logging into everything because I've switched from using Chrome to using Firefox. This in the hopes of taking some of the strain off of my poor dying compy.
A good nights' rest has helped my compy back on its feet for now. That's the good news. The bad news is that I still have to keep

You can buy it here for the low, low price of absolutely nothing. W00t!
I notice my "sales" of all my free stuff have already spiked. Thanks all'a y'all.
So today, I'm going off about the government's committee nonsense in regards to Autism and what Autistes like me (a) are like, (b) actually need, (c) definitely want to exist in this world.
Like, for serious, I could go on for DAYS about autism

It starts with one. It grows from there. Sooner or later, someone is going to do animations featuring their favourite bits.
Tuesday, I shall be editing a new episode of Inter-Mission, and since I'll probably be rat-faced by Thursday, I might not stream at all. It's pretty close to Xmas by then.
