So my computer overheats and then nothing works when it does. If it gets above 85 Celcius, then literally everything falls over.
I have to hurry and publish since I managed to procrastinate my way to 77C and only have a few degrees until functionality apocalypse.
My plns include naps and writing more angst devil boi.
I just have to publish right now.
Where's yesterday's story and why wasn't it out like usual?
Well.
I over-extended myself on Parkrun this week (ow. It still hurts) and needed an extended nap. Added onto that is a cyclone headache thanks to a low pressure system with its centre somewhere near Vanuatu.
Fucking VANUATU!
The low extends closer to Queensland, but HOLY SHIT. Vanuatu. Deesh.
I also had a social engagement in the evening. Hurry though I may, I could not get the word out everywhere.
I'm working
Read more »My Beloved woke me up with a firkin movie night with the girls. Hudson Hawk, which is good taste, but I wanted to SLEEP. Ow...
I did a deliberate run last week and I should not have tried to do it again this time. Ow.
Also, there's a severe low pressure system off of Vanuatu and my face can feel it. OW!
So I shall now commence an attempt at the daily tale before my love and I are offski towards another
Read more »The catio needs cleaning out, the starters need feeding, and I am the bean to do that because I'm the only bean who does.
BUT because my compy has some heat issues that limit activity to four hours, I'm doing as much as I can in those windows.
With breaks for benevolent stuff to do.
Turning off the streaming obligation has freed me up to chill about doing stuff.
I might even be able to do some pre-publishing prep.
We shall see.
Read more »I needed a day away from expectations. Something to remind myself that it's okay to take my time with things. I am up to set dressing on a map and that's a stage of progress.
I will be likely inspired to go further, but I won't be going very far today because I'm off adventuring in meatspace, starting this afternoon.
I have to leave the house at half-past 3 to catch a train at 4 so I can get to a place
Read more »I'm having a depressive episode today. Despite doing the things I should be doing, despite accomplishing my aims on the day to day... I'm feeling down and depressed.
Every time I think about doing something I should finish. Every time I think about making more progress... There's a wave of exhaustion that threatens to bowl me over.
I might take a day.
I'll write an Instant tomorrow if it comes to that.
I wanted to get angry at WOTC and I can't
Read more »Good news: Some nice fam has been helping MeMum with the disaster that is her yard and now all she has to do is keep it maintained.
Bad news: This also means more petrol runs.
Good news: I get paid for that.
Bad news: I still have to haul my asthmatic arse over there from the other side of town to help with that.
Also bad news: I'm having Sneezin' and Wheezin' Season so a good lungful of oxygen is harder to
Read more »I have already been awake for four hours, now. Technically five. As soon as I stream, it shall be six.
So it's no surprise that my plans immediately following stream this morning include going to bed and catching some sleeps.
If any other output happens today, it is bonus material. And I owe two more chapters to the files for my beta readers because I will be working on chapter 169 sometime real soon now.
Best to get rattling because the stream
Read more »As I write these very words, it is approaching ten minutes past two in the morning and I am in the middle of an asthma attack that crept up on me in a really bad way.
To put it in the most interesting way possible: I started my day at one in the morning by googling "feeling like a ghost is taking my pulse on the left of my neck" since three other searches could not find anything unrelated to a heart
Read more »WHat?
Social life?
Me?
Yeah apparently I do.
We took KIABIL for the Parkrun and he did the whole 5K straight out of the box! Holy shit. Thereafter, we went to a Nerd Bar called Netherworld.
Yes, there are Nerd Bars. Yes, they have a lot of games and that includes game machines. They also have an overall atmosphere of inclusivity that makes the whole place pleasant to be in.
Translation: TERFs Not Allowed.
It's a nice place. But it also sucked
Read more »I at least cleaned out the Catio. I am about to feed and harvest my starters to make The Bikkie.
And because my love got me sugar-loaded caffeine bubbles, I can also sample the pasta that the fam made last night.
Yay?
IDK.
I tried and nobody should criticise me so ner.
Speaking of trying, I have two hundred pages of anthology to edit, so that's most of the rest of my day. Then I can work on finishing the next chapter
Read more »The new schedule is looking a little like this:
3-7AM: Lounge around with Beloved, maybe read and maybe edit something.
8AM(ish): Getting ready for the day
9AM(ish): blogging and editing until Curse O'Clock
10AM: Curse O'Clock
11AM: Back to my bullshit. Stream set-up.
12PM: Streaming!
1PM-4PM: The rest of my bullshit
4PM-on: Relax time!
The last two depend on the ability of my back to put up with me doing stuff.
I'm going to spend my hour in the curse
Read more »I did it again. I futzed around until it was too late to stream before the 10AM curse.
So my PLN now is to do a bit of shopping with my time. I need to get vegemite and cat food.
After I get back and stream, I think I'll focus my energies on footnote checking and at least one chapter summary.
Once the anthology is fully edited, I can get it out on the interwebs for your reading pleasure.
Once the novel
Read more »The cursed mower started working just after I got everything together to move it. Hooray, I guess. So my heavy lifting was hauling boxes of stuff off to lifeline with the full understanding that I have a zippy little TARDIS car that can move lots of stuff at once.
I now have a completely improvised phone holder for those fun occasions where I need my GPS. It still needs some tweaking, but that won't be happening today.
TODAY my focus is on:
Read more »The twofer's delayed until tomorrow because I need to help MeMum shift heavy things and do other stuff whilst there. Petrol and such.
Which will take most of the day and a good portion of my energy. Yay.
There's time limits on the heavy lifting so I have to run fairly soon.
So. I post, I vamoose.
See you later.
