Tuesday, Patreon and Urgent Shopping

I owe my patrons a few things, starting with the five chapters' audio I was trying to record when my tower borked in the first place.

I'll be recording those very, very soon.

The good news is that most of a chapter I was recording at implosion is still there! I just need to loop in half a sentence and then, as Jukebox the Ghost sang, I am off to the races.

I also need to go fetch a new cable to charge my phone overnight and that's going to steal some time from everything else. But it will also let me restock my fish oil pills so I will take that marginal win.

I'll be going on that venture after the second loaf has begun proofing. And hope that my borked ankle puts up with the expedition. The shortest route is to JB's, then to the chemists' across the way and crossing my fingers that they have what I'm looking for.

I should be able to get back before I need to juggle bread and ovens.

Should.

Working as lickety-darn-split as I can to get it all done.

Monday, Yoiks and Away

Hi ho, off to work Mayhem goes. Then I have to do the backup reads, some recordings and videos to wrangle, and shopping to do. And bread to bake.

As well as the usual offerings unto the temple of notes, icing my ankle every two hours, and maybe getting some selfish time at the end of the day.

I'm going to try to at least put one sentence into ADT while I'm there.

Stick a broom up my bum and I can

Sunday, Technicalities Unfucking

I just finished today's tale and Adorable has my tower at minimum functionality. Since she's already working on it, the next order of operations is to get subtitles working on my version of Kdenlive. So I can stop bothering her for the subs to my videos. Huzzah.

At least I got the self-maintenance done. Yay. I'm taking that win.

Packing the cold pack seems to have worked, as I can keep it cold in Adorable's spare fridge. All I'm lacking is a

Saturday, No Parkrun and Yet More Technicall Issues

I gleeked on my lappy keyboard in the wee small hours of this morning and have had to do a hard reboot to fix the random BS that was happening as a result.

Gleek(n): That thin stream of saliva that comes out sometimes when you yawn.

It's now almost noon. It's taken me this long to unfuck the issue.

For the record, I had random windows popping to the top when I didn't click anything, and essential buttons refusing to be

Friday, Physio Day

Hopefully, I get the green light for driving further than a shopping expedition. That means I can take my tower to Adorable to get it un-imploded tomorrow. Why tomorrow? Because the physio is happening this afternoon. Taking it towards the evening might be a little bit on the risky side.

Best to go in full daylight so I don't risk making two round trips when I may only be able to withstand one.

I've set up a "working nest" on the dining

Thursday, Well... Fuck

My main compy imploded because I accidentally kicked the power loose multiple times because I need a pillow for my stupid pained ankle because I twisted it getting out of the car at Costco [that ate the malt that lay in the house that Jack built]. So I now cannot edit the videos due tomorrow. And a bunch of other things, besides. A lot of the stuff I do for the interwebs is locked in that machine and I can only pray

Wednesday, Rant and Other Things

I am definitely doing a "Reasons To Love" this week. A total enthusiasm about season one is a bit overdue.

I am attempting to operate without the ankle brace, today. I have it nearby, just in case.

I've finished another five chapters of ADT so there's more recordings in my future. There's going to be one hell of an upload for Adorable when I have that avenue to share those things.

The longer it takes to stabilise that avenue of communication, the

Tuesday, Furthering PLNs

Mayhem now has a foundation in using Cursor, and a week to FAFO with it before he says yae or nae to the traineeship. Okay. Would have been nice to know that before this morning.

I have a parcel to pick up so I might as well go on a supply run while I'm out. In socks and sandals because my shoes are too heavy for my delicate ankle. I'm in my comfy dowdy clothes because I could not give less of

Monday, A Small Hope

It's been a disorganised morning. Starting with Mayhem notifying me that he has a takeoff time to get to the nearest train station. Nice of Beloved or Adorable to give me a warning about that.

Anyway, Mayhem is offski for his traineeship orientation tour, all to see if he's amenable with the traineeship at all. If not, I have NO idea what's going on with him and his future.

Fingers crossed, my lad gets a career.

If not... well. There's a Woolies

Sunday, Thinking About Nightmares

I finally had a decent idea for the prompt-after-next-prompt, "Nightmares For Sale". So I'm working on that whilst doing my daily offerings.

I should have recorded yesterday so I could edit today and post tomorrow. Nevermind. I shall record today and hope for the best.

After the Archive is done with reading stories from the group.

Looks like I made bread just in time. I'll have to advance the schedule a little bit. Thursday seems decent enough to start.

I shall see,

Saturday, Bread Day

I got a loaf in the incubator, I got a whole bunch of nonsense going on. I gotta put bread in the ovens1 at about the same time I gotta ice my ankle. Fun times.

I will be enlisting whomsoever happens to be convenient to assist with that level of nonsense.

I have my offerings to make as well as bread to bake. And I will find a way to juggle that and the damn ankle. And I will be very

Friday, Physio Day

My ankle is not letting me walk very much, very far today. To add to the fun, we need to make bread. Gonna need lots of help from the spawn today.

I'm not setting up my daily doses until after I'm back from the physio. That nonsense takes a LOT more time than the time I have before I take off for the physio.

So I shall be focussing on other offerings before I get back from the jackhammering.

I need every

Thursday, Shopping Day and Physio Tomorrow

We need eggs. We need a few other things... but not so much as last week. I'm going to have to rouse Chaos because Mayhem doesn't want to be involved. But I still need help to get stuff so... whatevs.

Miss Chaos has to learn to do stuff and be reliable and this is a perfect window of opportunity for that.

It might be a pain in both our arses, but she really needs to learn. Our girl can't coast for the

Wednesday, Rant Due and Video Things

I figure that, if I edit on the days between posting day, then I have extra time windows to manage that thing. So I'm recording a thing today and wrangling stuff tomorrow so I can post on Friday.

I'm also doing a thing on my rant blog and I think I shall rave and recommend (surprising nobody) K-Pop Demon Hunters. I have a lot of love to share about it. And some words to spend on the best character in the whole

Tuesday, Patreon and Extra Owwies

Yesterday, I could barely walk because of the ankle. My opposite knee doesn't like supporting the extra weight, so I've been wearing a knee brace there for at least four days.

After yesterday, my achey shoulders have been worse because supporting my weight with the cane has set the knots there into a worse tangle.

As I said to MeMum, I need a big burly bloke to wring the knots out of my shoulders with a bucket of Deep Heat.

I have
