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.
It's the last day of holidays for Friendo Awesome, so we're taking her and KIABIL up to Rainbow Beach for fun times in the sun times.
Expect me to look rather red for the next couple of streams.
Speaking of streams, I won't be online for some time. There's a high chance that I might not be able to stream at all today. If that happens, there will be a twofer tomorrow.
I will not be taking my "security blanket" - aka
Read more »I did the 5K, enjoyed company and snackage. And then just about fell over thereafter.
That's why the stream happened closer to sunset. And there's another reason it won't be happening tomorrow.
The fam is heading out with Friendo Awesome to Rainbow beach and having some fun times in Meatspace.
I fully expect to not have the wherewithall to do much more than the daily tale.
NEXT week, I shall be getting on with getting on. Fingers crossed.
Working out where to

Bum.
I have called my dentist and reschedule my appointment because economical offsets. I have cleaned out the catio. I have yet to feed the Starters or create The Bikkie.
I'll be doing that after the stream.
Which should be happening very,

...and then my wrists went kasplat.
I have the story done for today, and rubbish to put out for collection. Beyond that, I am resting my wrists and hoping I can get to the rest of it later.
I hurt and I'm tired and I would like to try getting better about doing all
Read more »I stayed in bed with my Beloved for a little too long today, and wound up streaming at 10AM.
Whoops.
BUT I also didn't have the 10AM curse happening to me.
We did not alter anything, but the compy failed to slow to tar and attempt to die. Huzzah. I am not going to fault it at all for surviving and defeating the curse.
I'm pretty much pointing to True Love's Kiss at this point because NOTHING ELSE DID ANYTHING.
BUT it

If it doesn't come up today, it will happen tomorrow. Which will also mean another episode of the fanficcy variant of A Devil's Tale
At this point, it's vague spoilers for the novel I'm working on. Things are changing with the demands of narrative and things aren't easy for my heroes. And

Tomorrow, it all goes off.
Tomorrow, I do my stream, charge off to the other side of the city, and help MeMum with her sundry stuff 'n' nonsense. Including the inevitable tech support.
Tomorrow, I also have my Patreon to fret about in the afternoon or, let's face it, the morning of the next day.
Today, I

I did my personal best 5K today. Kept up a good pace for most of it, too. Then, following brunch and cake, attempted to find a new keyboard/cover for my iPad Pro.
I got this thing in 2015.
Guess how often it's likely that the shops have a replacement?
Yup.
Time to get one hand-crafted from Tanegashima.
That can wait. The old iPad is still useful even though I have to use the on-screen keyboard. I can edit anywhere with it

I have the Catio to tidy, and a literal pile of refuse to reject or recycle but otherwise get out of the house, and more stuff to get on with.

So, I wrap up my nonsense before or just after 10. Then go do something else on my lappy until it's literally after noon.
Then I get on with getting on with other stuff. I could plausibly tag fics on my lappy during this. I will probably end up writing an entire chapter of A Devil's Tale.

There's still a lot of chapters, but I should be quicker at it all henceforth. The filtering is another pain in the butt since my compy tends to lag by the time I get there.
Let's see how quickly I can get that accomplished. All the
