Thursday, Bread Double Play and Stuff

I spent a lot of time debugging game layout in Cursor, yesterday. The plus side is that I have most of the layout organised. Today, amongst the many other things I have PLN'd, I am double-dosing the bread ritual. I have the starter incubating as the first loaf proofs.

I'm going to be juggling timers today. One for the oven, one for the dough. And tomorrow, I cook even more bread.

All so the kids and I have enough bread for our needs. Maybe even enough to last for the next pay cycle.

All those nice plans of mine to make bread at a rational day once a week are slightly off skew.

We get money today, and my shopping list is getting longer. So I'm pooling this week and last week in the hopes to afford all the stuff we need to restock.

Today, I hope to have some puzzle systems going in Pseuducku. I should also go and edit the Pseuducku pages to reflect my moving onwards. Screencaps and all.

It's going to be a fun couple of days.

Wednesday, Surprise Bread Deficit and Further PLNs

The good news is: the kids really enjoy my bread. The bad news is that I have to make WAY more of it to see me through the week.

So I'm preparing one batch of dough today, making another batch tomorrow while I'm baking the first tomorrow, and baking the second one the day after.

I'm also doing a story video, today.

And the usual nonsense that y'all will see on my various socials. I'll get it done, for sure. The system

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

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

Wednesday, SHENANIGANS!

Today... I am learning a thing with the help of the QPP. I am learning to use a program that does the programming for me. My absolute dream since I was always pants at programming.

I'd follow the instructions, do everything by the book... and end up with a dev/null error in line zero. Or some other fatal error.

It's been that way since I tried learning to program in the beginning.

Part of today's experiment is seeing how my fickle

Tuesday, Patreon and Shopping PLNs

I have offerings to present to the big temple of notes. The ones that have the potential for earning me an income.

Because videos, my offerings are a bit more scant. But I do have a finished story for the dollar tier. My ability to write chapters is slow at the moment, and I know I'll eventually get back into the swing of things.

Eventually I will find a way to streamline my processes. It's just not happening right now.

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

Sunday, Bread and Nonsense

My time manglement skills are in full "flower" today. I did get the dough prepped with the help of Mayhem for the last fold and tucking away in the fridge.

I have calculated that it takes me around 20 hours to make bread from 'go' to 'whoah'. That's not counting the prep and bumbling about time so it probably is closer to 22 hours. No wonder it takes me two freaking days to have lovely golden butt loaves.

I should be able

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
