We had some immense fun playing Candy Heist with the players thoroughly subverting my expectations of the play.
As they frequently do.
I'm spending as much time as possible with my Beloved today. Writing my offerings on the old reliable security blanket/laptop.
Tonight, I go to a place I've never been to before to go do a thing I've never done before. Little bit of anxiety over that, to be honest.
So let's get on with getting on with that.
Beloved and I walked together while Adorable tried to break a thirty-minute run. Miss Chaos ended up dawdling along as per usual.
That done, I took the whole crew around for Brunch, then we went to some specialist shops so that Adorable could get her Mate [pronounced "mah-tay"] fix.
I tried it. Unfortunately, to my tongue, it just tastes like liquid choko. A taste that was never my favourite.
It was quite the lengthy trip. Involving driving through the city. Which is

...and staying alive is getting expensive, these days.
Even my normal pinchpenny tactics aren't making the grade. Hell, it's got to the point where filling up on petrol spells a rough financial week.
I can still cope, and I can still save, but it feels like I'm just scraping by. This might be also influenced by being pushed to pitching by Beloved. It might only

In wet weather. On roads full of freaking maniacs.
WHEEEE...
I think that wrapping my loaves in plastic might be the wrong idea. So I've put them in paper bags and seeing if that helps my loaves stay proper

[Shown here: Screenshot of a tumblr poll showing that the audience favours "Weird Writer Wednesday" as a tag for my weekly rants]
It's going to be Weird Writer Wednesday henceforth. Hooray.
I already have something to rant about. Fingers crossed, the video evidence can be a part of it.
I'm also recording five more chapters, sorting more vinyl, and moving five more archived blog entries out of Wordpress, today.
I'm making bread, and my offerings, AND making

I actually have to focus on my autism and my queer cred since that's how I use my niche. I carve it out, I own it, and then I fill it with flashing neon lights so that other peeps can find me.
I also should get in contact with

So I took Beloved and the stuff on a lengthy drive through rush-hour wet-weather traffic. Whee fun.
Obviously, I made it out alive, but holy cheez whiz... some folks just believe they can clip through other cars without harm.
As Da would say, the weather got into the sawdust in their skulls.
The writing group

...which means that we were making the most cursed sex/poop/fart jokes the entire time.
I pln on making my offerings and then vanishing into the void. AKA the "real world". There to share space with Beloved.
I've already been on the nebuliser once today. I

I'll be putting my new writing rants on my new blogging site tomorrow. I've removed the link to Wordpress in my menu. It's been replaced by my new blog centre.
I think I'm capable of moving five old blog entries a day. Since I've been blogging on Wordpress since 2017, that's going to take me a while.
The good news is that I can back-date the archival stuff, so the move will be imperceptible

"While you're up, you can take my dirty dish to the sink."
Today was a "while we're out" day. While we're out for parkrun, why not go and get Miss Chaos a decent sports bra? While we're out, why not do a little grocery shopping? While we're out, let's get the food

...I can get more bonus points that way.
So my morning coffee routine now includes putting on a record and deciding whether or not I like those stored sounds.
After I finish here, it's out to the catio for the regular

Not a lot of visible progress there.
I'll be moving five more blog entries out of Wordpress and into my new blogging site as well.
And the regular series of offerings, of course.
...which I'm now doing single-handedly because Jolie demands the company of my left hand.
I might be able to get

I've asked for suggestions from the QPP and my Discordians.
If you have something in mind for the new brand, I'm willing to hear it.
I have offerings to make, side-projects to sort, and five more blog entries shifted into the new archive. And at some point in the future, I have to learn how to people so I can grow

But I gotta do the stream for this week before I get on with the big move.
Which is happening soon, because administrivia on various things has absorbed ALL of my morning.
This techno-luddite is trying to trust things again, and the

I have also discovered that my two scales give different measurements. Which is irritating to me in ways I can't articulate in a mere handful of words.

Speaking of rant blogs, I might be self-hosting my Wordpress archive here on my hub site. There shall be branch and I will
