More Shenanigans

Yesterday, our internet access went down. Our Wifi LAN was fine, but the internet connection is down. This has been happening on and off since we moved in, and through various ISP's, it's been the same. Every now and again, with no hint that things are going to go pants, the internet connection just firkin DIES.

This morning, it's back up again without so much as a how-do-you-do. Whatever.

At this point, I'm starting to wonder if it's us. This area, some kind of internet vortex or whatnot. Whatever it is, it seems to be a semi-regular pain in the butt.

Nevertheless, it's gone for now, so I've taken the opportunity to post the next episode of Inter-Mission before the interwebs vanishes again :P

Also attempting to focus with house cleaning due [my beasties get locked 'out' in the cat enclosure with foods and Human visits] an Instant story to write, and 1K words or bust plus ferrying Mayhem to the doctor's because yet another firkin lurgi hath strick.

Plus the not-so-little darling wants to go make a deposit and otherwise act like a responsible adult human, so I gotta support that too.

Fun times ahoy.

Okay. Let's Do This

So far this fine morrow:

  • Got the kids organised and off to school
  • Acquired kitty necessities (food & litter)
  • Acquired fuel for vehicle

So now I'm broke and can't afford to restock my supply of Peanut Butter Cup flavoured Halo Tops. Dag.

The things I do for love.

Today has a Wordpress piece due, so I'll be ranting about another aspect of saving the world, since I only have two more unpublished novels for y'all to take a free gander at, so

Busy Day Ahead

Because Ekka Flu, the nice people who help me unfuck my house are a day late in helping me go do that thing.

I have Patreon things to post, the Instant to create, five hundred to one thousand words to accomplish in KOSBOB. At least I was able to get the kittens exiled for the unfuckening and the kids pointed towards another day at school.

Now? My battle is with my own procrastination.

Have at thee, foul fiend.

Back to the Grindstone

It's been six weeks, and the person who said they'd get back to me about Adapting has not got back to me in the time they said they would. I may have wound up in their trash folder. Sigh. Welp. Time to trawl #MSWL again to see if anyone else wants to nibble at my fantasy-scifi weirdness.

Plus la change, plus la meme chose.

One down, five to go.

And by the way...

Mayhem's Merry Birth!

On this day, long about four in the afternoon, Mayhem was extracted via surgery. He is now adult. Officially. He is now entitled to do the adult things.

Huzzah!

So of course he can't make up his firkin mind about what he's doing today, so the default is farting around on his compy. Kids these days.

Still, his default allows me to go do the thing you are looking forward to - writing my weird little daily tales and maybe even getting

Whelp. There's some nasty...

Just when everything was coming up sunshine and lollipops, the interwebs goes down. So I'm using my phone data to do my awesome things. Which means you won't be seeing much of me online until that gets fixed.

Beloved has left the task of calling the Interwebs peeps to me, so that'll be happening sometime after the shopping expedition to The Place on the Corner. We need single-use plastic bags to cart away kitty poops.

It'd probably be better for the environment

Hello, Ekka Flu...

Goodbye art...

Mayhem's contemporaries in math class shared their Ekka Bug(tm) with Mayhem and I had to drag his arse home in the middle of the day. He wanted to repeat this performance, thus ensuring the spread of the plague to further corners of the globe and disrupting my day.

However, I have an ace up my sleeve - I didn't wake him up. Sick boi needs sleeps, so I let him sleep. I will likely see him in the afternoon,

Okay. NOW I can do stuff...

It's been a sideways kind'a morning, starting with a fresh dose of Cyclone Migrane [thanks NSW, for having all those blizzards] and a solid side of disorganisation because my last 48 hours were like this:

  • Run out of my own battery power at like 7PM
  • Take a 5-htp to make sure I get a good night's sleep
  • Can't sleep (WTF mate?)
  • Beloved stays up because they have to be at work at 1AM (server nonse)
  • Kittens having a dinglefest until the wee

Week 6

I did some calendar math (with some help from Google) and this is the final week for the person who said they might like my stuff to get back to me. So far, its' just as Poe wrote: Silence there, and nothing more.

I have five more tries before I just surrender and put this thing out on Smashwords. Which means commissioning an artist to draw my headcanons, and oh dear. Shayde is hard to draw.

I should probably do some preliminary

Changing My Hair

With all going well, my hair should be a bright new shade of purple by this evening. This entirely dependent on both my Beloved and I actually remembering to do the thing.

It's been three months since I started the Kitty Kondo project, and I was overdue for new dye then, so you can picture what a wreck my hair is by now.

Soon fixed, though. Just need to remember to do the thing.

Yeah, I'm gonna have frosted tips on long

A Day Off?

As far as I'm aware, I have nothing planned. What I do plan to do is enjoy it. I got myself a fanfic prompt as well as the Instant to write and after that? Well, it's all Critical Role and playing with the kittens and lounging around in my kigu and fluffy socks.

Yay.

If Beloved actually has PLNs to drag me off anywhere and do anything, there are going to be complaints. I shall make them pick out my clothes and

Are You Ready?

Well too bad. Episode 6 of Inter-Mission is live! Since I noticed that episode 5 got zero views for a fortnight, I figured I should tell the globe. So watch out, everyone on all my social feeds ever. This is out there.

Today, as well as unfuckening the house and soothing the nerves of the poor little beasties after the vacuum has been through... there shall be fanfiction. People have started prompting me on TAZ again and life is good.

And, because

A Challenge!

Today is Thursday. Though I have everything in place for the finishing of episode ten of Inter-Mission, I haven't had the wherewithal to sit down and just edit sound.

So yeah, this is close to the wire because cats. And procrastination. Cats and procrastination.

Speaking of, my little creature decided to inspect my lap (got scritches) and inspect my desk this AM. Cute as hell, but it didn't help me get anything accomplished.

I have my focus music on, and after I

I Have a PLN

I often say that I think about things way too much. We have a lot of problems in this world, not the least of which is a megalomaniacal oligarchical wannabe tyrant with his finger ready for the Nuke button. I can't solve that problem, and I lack the resources to solve the rest...

But by golly, I have a PLN!

It's in several pieces and requires me to rule the world with an iron fist, but I'm pretty sure most folks would
