A 3208-post collection

Friday, Scrum Time!

So. I have cleaned out the Catio. I have realised that I have the wrong size leggings for my winter activewear. We're also running very low on the tissues supply.

As a direct result, I am watching the clock and plotting to take off somewhere close to 9:30 so I can do Costco and the place where I can actually get activewear leggings in my size.

Pockets are a must.

I shall therefore be absent from my keyboard until I can find all the things.

At that point, I shall get on with The Bikkie and the remaining offerings in my possession.

I shall now see what I can get out there in the hour remaining to me.

Thursday, Game Night and Dunwannas

The mood is "flop around and whine about everything" today. I took an abundance of time to haul myself out of a nice comfy bed.

I'm feeling "heavy" today and that generally means that I'm having a stealth asthma attack and can't get enough oxygen. Usually, the humidifier is a good option for making that go away.

If that fails, it's up the meds and hope for the best.

Or I figure out where the hair up my butt is and work

Wednesday, Wordpress, Date Night, and Movie Day

Taking Mayhem out to see the D&D movie. So the usual offerings will be later than normal.

I can hope to get the Wordpress out.

It takes me longer to write a whole story from prompt than it does to copy/pasta stuff.

Updates if necessary, much later. We're going to have some fun rn.

...I also have no idea what we're doing for Date Night, but I am for sure paying for it.

Tuesday PLNs

I'm doing a support run for MeMum today, so my PLNs are thus:

  • Coffee, soup, and meds (in progress
  • This blog (doy)
  • Nick off across the countryside
  • Help MeMum with thing at place
  • Back home and do all the offerings

Yay.

I'm bringing the iPad with me for incidental inspirations and the hope that I hit literary zoomies at some point.

Chapter count: still crawling along in chapter 272

All right. I must kiss my Beloved and toddle offski.

Monday, Tale Foundry Reads

I am on call to read for a friend, so that's going to take up most of the day.

Tomorrow, I go do a Tech Day for MeMum, and the day after that, I'm taking Mayhem to see the D&D movie.

I expect not a lot to get done behind the curtain this week.

Chapter count: Made a start into Chapter 272

We're out of moneys for the meanwhile, so now we're using my cash reserves for frivolous things like.

Sunday, Streams and Dubious PLNs

Beloved and I were going to go out and acquire activewear that was relatively winter-proof.

Alas, we have run out of moneys. Or rather, Beloved has run out of moneys. So I shall be using my cash funds to do anything until payday.

So I might have to limit myself to just the leggings for the meanwhile.

I do not wish for my knees to freeze.

On the positive side, I now have enough Keto-snacks to keep me happy for quite some

Saturday, Parkrun & Hairdo's

Started the day at 5AM, getting the whole self-maintenance regime done and going to parkrun of course.

Managed the 5K in under an hour, and then it was off to-- SHENANIGANS!

Helping KIABIL get some parcels. Going with Friendo Awesome to get all our hair did. With meals between destinations.

I am a very tired bean because I haven't had my post-walk nap.

Nevertheless, I must to get the daily offerings done. At which point I shall be free to messing around

Friday, Unwanted Shenanigans

I have the Dunwannas today.

I dunwanna make The Bikkie.
I dunwanna go fetch the parcel that just arrived via the post.
I dunwanna go fetch olives so I can make The Bikkie with olives like I like it.

Because going out means getting dressed, which means getting out of my comfy clothes and into less comfy clothes and going to place and doing thing.

...ugh.

I barely wanna do my daily tale and meme combo today. I wanna stay at home

Thursday, Vet Visit and Game Night

Took the expensive cat to the vet's for a pleasant surprise - No huge and looming dental bill. Huzzah!

I'm still figuring out what I'm doing for most of the day, but I will henceforth be focussing my Extras Energy on summarising my gotdang novels because I can't ship them out without the necessary nonsenses collected and collated.

BLAH.

Further, there's a writer's strike going on so that scriptwriters, series writers, and anyone I can't immediately think of GET FUCKING PAID FOR

Tuesday, Patreon and Vet arrangements

Jolie is overdue to get her teeth checked. That feels kinda doomed to wind up as expensive.

Pippi up and decided to sit on my left arm. Fortunately, typing anyway convinced her I'm not a comfortable pillow.

I expect further delays of the like.

Chapter Count: Just finished Chapter 270, have yet to write the first words of Chapter 271. Uncharted territories are slow going. Difficult writing terrain if you will.

I'll get there.

I know what parts of the story I

Monday, Labor Day

The Tale Foundry backup reads are on, so any other written progress will be S-L-O-W.

As I have low expectations for myself on Mondays, I shall attempt to at least finish a chapter in the midst of the rest of my messing about.

Chapter count: Still midway through Chapter 270. Hopefully I shall have an increment for you real soon now.

When I hit 365 chapters [very likely] I shall start sharing the first sentence of each chapter per day.

All the

Sunday, Streamy Shenanigans

Tale Foundry is doing their thing. I have finished dressing a dungeon and begun another. I am pondering doing the meme whilst I wait to stream again...

And then I remembered I should probably blog.

Chapter count: Finally on the second page of Ch 270. Uncharted territory slows me the fuck down. Should be on things I've rehearsed real soon now.

Hopefully.

No other plns but messing around on the interwebs today, but I shall force myself to get some raw images

Saturday, Parkrun and Game PLNs

Looks like I'll be set dressing and Iconifying at 4AM tomorrow.

I did my first parkrun volunteer this week. I was a Park Walker. There to encourage the people who feel like they can't run in Parkrun.

The point of parkrun is to get out there and get some exercise. Even if all you do is parkrun once a week, it makes a difference on your health.

...says the bean who hasn't weighed hirself since the scales went flat...

Anyway. I have

Friday, Unfuckening

I did the open letter to the kids suffering under asinine laws allegedly "designed to protect children".

It's over here if you want to read it.

I'm still thinking about where to share it for maximum audience reach.

I'm about to go out and secure stuff for the cats. We're out of kitty litter and the catio needs unfuckening.

When I'm done with all of that, I shall be getting back to writing today's tale.

I'm offski. Let's get shit done.

Thursday, Catching Up?

There's been shenanigans on shenanigans around here and I had a bad case of the DunWannas where I was chasing my endorphin fixes for a while.

I might still be doing that.

There's a lot to do and my digestive system is not helping my inclination to get the thing done.

Things be going right through me these days. Bit of a pain.

Speaking of pain...

I haven't done jack towards my longer-term goals and the more I procrastinate, the deeper my
