I have officially written for next week's Promptcast. I have dough underway. I owe two stories and some Patreon stuff.
But at least I have the Promptcast thing in a state where I like it.
Onwards to the Twofer with short pauses for bread.
And then I see what I can chuck to my Patrons. If anything.
I've got a little list... of things that will be missed...
Gilbert and Sullivan aside, I need to go shopping, write a twofer, and figure out at least what the fuck I'm doing for the Promptcast.
Survived shopping. Activating the binaural beats and locking in for today's twofer.
Read more »I am spending the day with MeMum, which will also include the Erastide Chocolate Exchange because the Orange Menace Ruins Everything(tm). But it boils down to "everything's expensive because someone let a senile President be alone with a fascist world leader for 20 minutes".
Yay. Not.
So everything that emerges from me on the interwebs is largely dependent on how much energy remains by the time I resume operations at my regular place.
If nothing today, twofer tomorrow.

Allegedly settling down to get on with today's agenda. With the usual chatting with my peeps on Discord.
Tomorrow is Mother's Day, so I'm doing some stuff for MeMum and the resulting daily tale will be later than what passes for normal. If it's presented at all.
Travel and stuff tends to drain me, so we shall see what we shall see when the day happens.
Read more »A couple more days until the money comes into my accounts and I can pay the bills and arrange for more supplies.
I shall be clinging to every spare penny in the hopes of saving up for some little extras that will make life more pleasant in the long run.
In betwixt hoping that things improve overall, of course.
Still no word from the agent who is supposedly looking at Beauties and the Beastly. I sent off a polite email and am
Read more »The story for the Promptcast is almost done. It just needs the Izzy Pass and a little spit shine.
I have five chapters remaining to write for ADT and I'm roughly one quarter in on the next one. I am excited to get it all the way done. So my ankle-icing breaks are devoted to adding more to the next chapter.
I have a very few days' breathing space before next payday and can only hope that no more disasters come along
Read more »There's another episode of my weekly thing due today, we still have plumbing to deal with, and I've just been to the physio.
Their new jackhammer hurts and stings, by the way.
As for the plumbing, we have a new magic ingredient - Dawn dish soap. According to a self-proclaimed redneck I know, it's just the thing for dealing with stubborn clogs.
As for my soul... it's apparently in peril for mocking the Powers That Be. I can't fathom where that mockery
Read more »What has two thumbs and got told off for yesterday's story? ::points thumbs at self:: This nerd. Apparently, I was mocking Jesus.
What I said about Jesus: He was "a wise teacher who worked miracles like a divinity. He explained the laws of the faith he followed and gave simpler rules for the people to follow. Chief among those were: don't hoard wealth, and be kind to each other."
I think that's accurate.
The rest of the story is about the followers
Read more »I had everything put together. Dressed, pressed, set and ready to go on my Great Leyland's Tour...
Except the right day for that to happen in.
It's all going down TOMORROW
Derp.
All dressed up, as the song says, and nowhere to go.
I've gathered some buddies to read through ADT and taking a survey on replacements for copyrightable things.
So when it filters down - and it will filter down, there will be alterations. I might just republish on Patreon when
Read more »Got some further bullshit happening with the drains, but literally boiling hot water seems to be doing something to solve it. I have another trip to Bunnings in my future. Sigh.
We will get this thing unfucked for good.
But I don't need extra expense because I also have had to pay for my car and my license this week.
One last shot from the Chapter Thirteen Curse, I guess.
Fuck.
Can life stop shitting on me and my loved ones for
Read more »So far accomplished:
I have mod duties today and tomorrow. So my interim projects may depend on my mood.
Story, again, happening whenever.
Read more »Considering the unmitigated BULLSHIT of the last couple of days, I am taking things easy while I still have the chance.
Got a starter for the next chapter of ADT down, so there's something.
No PLNs beyond getting the story done and playing games.
Let's get going on the former at least.
Read more »Well, kind'a sorta. The blockage is clear enough for the sinks to drain, though there's still bubbling coming up. I'm running sinks full of hot water down that thing on the daily in an effort to sluice any remaining blockage away.
Next sinkload is going to have some dish soap added just before I pull the plugs. Perhaps it can loosen a little more blockage.
Tried to get hold of the sleep study people. I even waited until the text said the
Read more »Well, we managed to fix the toilet for slightly less than forty dollarydoos. Meanwhile, the hose, connectors, and bits to fix the kitchen sink are up to roughly two hundred dollarydoos even though we have to go back for a couple more parts.
It shouldn't cost more than twenty extra bucks and my own brief humilliation.
Note for future beans: Measure always. Don't assume that everything's standard and will automagically fit.
I have already mocked myself to the Promptcast crew, so take
Read more »Yesterday was a public holiday, so it's today that I'm going on the Leyland's Tour. With Mayhem in tow because need advice on hardware.
I've already posted the Patreon offerings. I'll be working on the Promptcast thing before I set off on the daily tale.
So expect the normal nonsense closer to the evening.
Locking in, now.
