The internet is fixed!
I have my first physio happening in an hour. In half an hour, I take off to meet that appointment.
I need to remember to ask about cooling my heel on the evening stretchies cycle. And show off my new knee brace.
Fingers crossed, I get to post today's story before I launch.
After I get back, I'll work on the rant for this week. I have some worries about the state of affairs on the interwebs.
Nyoom.
We need a few things, but I need to go to different places to get them. So I'm due for a Leyland's Tour today.
As soon as all the shops are open, of course.
My attempt to get the printer working was an outright failure. Hashtag, I tried.
But I also got all the buttons done, so my GameMaker time will be in placing them on the boards, and then learning how to make each function do what I want it to
Read more »The writing group is about to convene on Discord and share our little tales with each other. And have a good old gasbag about nonsense and cannibalism.
We're writers. The topic just keeps coming up.
I will finish the buttons, today, and push myself to try one last trick to get the printer operational. I can at least get that done.
Tomorrow... I push myself to resume pitching. And go shopping after the pitches are sent.
Wish me luck.
Read more »There was a lot of fun with the international chaos crew this morning. And now that I've had a nap and my stretchies, I should get on with the offerings.
But after that?
I'm taking the rest of the day to slack off. No work on Pseuducku. That can happen tomorrow.
Because I will be done making buttons and the next step is working out the buttons' functions. Terrifying.
But I think I can do it.
I... hope... I can do it.

I sincerely hope that "further notice" happens today. I need to find the end of book five and ponder WTF I'm calling book six.
I'm starting to run out of alliterative D-themed titles.
All whilst also plotting to kill off my MC's and wind up the sketches of the fantasy future.
I will finish this WIP. I

So again, no power tools.
Sigh.
At least I know what I'm doing when I get around to doing it. And there's plenty of time to save up for the other nonsense necessary for Chaos' easier homemade bread experience.
I forgot to finish and upload this, because rampant distractions. Yay. Take it as given
Read more »Once again, it's too hot to work outdoors where the power tools are. It's even hotter than it was yesterday. I've got my first loaf in the incubator and the Dutch Oven preheating.
The PLN today is:
And somewhere between steps 3 and 4, I will be making my offerings. Probably partially between 1 and 2 also.
Right now, I'm finishing up
Read more »I checked the weather this morning and, as soon as it's legal to use power tools - it's too hot to do anything outdoors where the power tools are.
Dang.
Hoping for a rainy day so it's cool enough to do things, soon.
I'm wondering what to do for this week's rant, and hoping something will crop up before I have to do it. As for the meantime - bread.
I've got everything measured out and waiting for the starter to ripen.

[Which reminds me, I need to stop procrastinating on pitching my books at people. I have found another agency I can pitch at, so they get the book(s) the other ones aren't looking at. Diversity, baby]
I will attempt some minor jiggery-pokery in GameMaker to keep the streak going, tonight. After all the other offerings are done.
The sooner I have all the buttons going 'click', the
Read more »I PLN on making heritable buttons today. No matter what, they will all go 'click'. Other functions will happen later.
When I figure that mess out.
Bread is postponed until Wednesday, because MeMum needs my car and tomorrow is the best time for shenanigans of that ilk.
I think Thursday/Friday might be the best day for posting stuff to Patreon. Trying to remember to do that is the hurdle for me to overcome.
I have ordered the second half of my

Then I study up about heritable stuff. Groups and subgroups if available.
Since little enough time is left in today, I think the programming stuff may happen tomorrow. Between bread folding sessions.
Oh yeah. I'm
Read more »I aim get the buttons sorted out this afternoon. I have the mock-ups to go off of when I do all of that. I have the assets ready. I have the instructions. All that's left is a few minutes of jiggery-pokery.
All that's standing in my way is my inhibiting terror that this will all blow up on me. Again.
I've had so many setbacks on this thing that I'm overdue some setforwards.
But before I get on with that, I'm doing
Read more »I have to clean out the catio, today. I also need to refine the buttons I just uploaded for cross-computer transfer. I now, allegedly, have all the assets I need. Just... not in a form I can use, yet.
That'll be today's ten minutes.
I have no idea what I'll manage tomorrow.
But I will manage it.
Story soon. Everything else thereafter.
Read more »Today, to further my PLNs for Pseuducku, I'll be making certain I have all assets necessary to proceed. That may take all my allotted Pseuducku time today.
I also need to get into my Patreon and share all the things accomplished since the last time I posted.
I don't even know how much I have to share. I should check up on such things.
When I finish my stretchies [and a bit more of ADT], I will be getting on with all

Step one - finding a small wooden bread board for cheap - has been a bit of a stumbling block. If I get my nonsense out early today, I shall try some other venues to acquire the necessary materials.
The idea being that, if slicing bread vertically
