Saturday, Parkrun and Game PLNs

I managed to get Miss Chaos to come with, though she had to sit at the first bench. She gave it a good go and we shall see whether she's amenable next week.

Looks like KIABIL is super un-enthusiastic about doing the parkrun. He's not really scheduling his rest cycles to make sure he can participate.

ANYway. I have offerings to make, and some WIP to write and perhaps some dwarves to micromanage.

Let's see how that goes.

Friday, Ongoing PLNs

I'm doing my usual Friday nonsense. Unfucked the Catio already, and I'll be shortly prepping The Bikkie(tm).

Thereafter I shall be doing the Starters and such.

The wholemeal starter, known in house as Wilson, will be retiring to the freezer today. I have run out of the wholemeal flour to feed it with. Henceforth, only the "Instructions" starter will be part of my routine. Until I run out of flour.

When I am in a mood to make breads again, I

Thursday, Assorted Shenanigans

Tonight, I shall be playing D&D on the move. I can do the thing on my lappy, and I shall have to tonight.

Beloved and Friendo Awesome and I are going to have an involved gasbag concerning shared involvements on seemingly random things.

Further bulletins as events warrant. I can't really share until I know what the flip is actually going on

I also have to arrange a Cans Run at some point. Possibly this Monday.

Hooray for I Have

Wednesday, Wordpress, Patreon, and Date Night

I forgot to do the Patreon stuff. That will be happening very soon. Along with the Wordpress entry for this week.

I really should get myself back into the habit of summarising my firkin novels. On the other hand, I really wanna chase endorphins via game.

I'll focus on doing my offerings first rather than attempting to micromanage Dwarves or work on my farms in Minecraft or work on my Dyson sphere.

...I will find curious ways to procrastinate and I need

Tuesday, Tech Support Before Patreon

The spending spree has commenced. I have a copy of The Adventure Zone: 11th Hour heading my way from Mssrs Barnes and Noble. I have myself a copy of Dwarf Fortress to mess around in and perhaps build up a resilience against failure. I have yet to buy myself a spare copy of Kosh.

Why Kosh?

Well. The cats knocked him off his perch and his horns fell off. So now I have a prime opportunity to make him anew. Because I

Monday, Battery Reset Hopes

I am attempting, once more, to reset my phone battery by running it flat and subsequently charging it to full plus an hour.

Last time I tried this, it quit at 47% instead of 30% Last night, it crashed at 47% again, so I did the charge accurately this morning and I'm hoping to wind things down properly before I need it tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

I'm headed offski to unriddle MeMum's ongoing tech issues to the best of my inability. At least I'm

Sunday, Inactivity PLNs

Tale Foundry cancelled for health reasons, so I'm streaming early. Thereafter, I shall post and then slack off for the remains of the day.

Huzzah.

A hot bath may yet be in order.

The downside of going out for Bath Bombs is that I'll also have to wear the Torture Shoes because fucking bone spurs need correcting again. OTOH maybe the place isn't open by the time I'm done with my bullshit.

D&D news: I have technically finished the maps!

Saturday, Parkrun and Security Blanket

I GOT MY LAPPY BACK! WQO!

Beloved and I had a discussion earlier in the week about how long it was taking for the repairs to go ahead. So we agreed to go seeking info today after the parkrun shenanigans. I even asked her to hold my liddle hand while I did all of that.

Fast forward to Friday. My love spends so long with Friendo Awesome and the Rainbow Chatters that she's too tired to drive home.

Leaving me to drive

Friday, Unfuckening as Usual

My immediate PLNs are small and average for this time of the week.

Clean the Catio, feed the Starters, make and consume the Bikkie. All that jazz.

I may actually have some Literary Zoomies going on because...

Chapter Count: Made a beginning on Chapter 275

That's right, my lovely readers, I wrote a chapter in a day! ZOOOM!

Further in my shenanigannery, I had to do a little remote tech work whilst also debugging my firkin phone. It's battery is misbehaving so

Thursday, Day of Rest?

Certainly day of the rest. I should be getting on with my WIP, I should spare some time to summarise a chapter at minimum, and maybe even tag a week of fics for the app.

Except the Morbs are giving me the Dunwannas. BLEH.

Beloved is mildly pissed with me since I bullied her stiff arm into pliability with a quick stropping tutorial and a handful of Deep Heat. She despises Deep Heat because it both smells and burns, and she was

Wednesday, Wordpress and Shenanigans

My love and I have knotted muscles in our shoulders and upper right arms. So my PLN involves getting some bath bombs (and dinner), and then retiring for the evening for a nice hot bath and massage exchange.

I shall be posting yet another episode of the fanficcy variant of "A Devil's Tale" today, working on the daily offerings, and of course the WIP.

Chapter Count: About to launch into chapter 274. I might be heading towards Literary Zoomies? I dunno. I

Tuesday, Serious Stuff (and Patreon)

A close friend of the family suffered a sexual assault, yesterday.

She's not injured, there was no forced entry, so to speak. What the proper definition might be if it was welcome could be "heavy petting".

She had to say, "No thank you" so many times she lost count before the skeezbag got the fucking hint.

Even if she reports it, nothing will be done. Apart from the usual victim blaming.

"Where did this happen?" Translated: were you in a prostitute hot

Monday, Progress and Presents

Had a bit of time juggling to get to the place. Had some fun driving what boils down to high-speed lawnmowers through an indoor track.

Chaos kept crashing into the walls because she didn't quite grok braking. Oh dear.

She was still better at driving the dang things than I was. I was bumbling around the track like it was the Dreamworld Fun Cars [the slow lawnmowers].

It was a drifting track. You're supposed to go around sideways. I was lapped like

Sunday, Meatspace PLNs

We're up to shenanigans, today. Huzzah! Going out with friends and family to drive tiny cars around an indoor racetrack for the afternoon.

With possible option for treats afterwards.

Current detail bothering me: I am driving Miss Chaos to the place and picking up KIABIL along the way. Alas, I know not where the fucking destination is and I kind'a need that for the GPS.

I'm sure it will be sorted before I take off.

Chapter count: Wrote the first words into

Saturday, Parkrun and Altered PLNs

We got the parkrun done, and I managed to sleep until the early afternoon.

Story finished, and I shall be altering my usual plans. Doing tomorrow's story stream one hour after the game stream. All so we can be ready for the PLNs of the day.

That's right! It's go-carting day tomorrow.

As for today? The remains of today... I post, I've done the meme, I try to write a little bit more of A Devil's Tale. Speaking of...

Chapter count: Just
