Run Around

A 13-post collection

Tuesday, Foot Doc and Spruiking Myself

It's the first of October and, all being well, The World Will Not Miss... should be out on a lot of e-retailers. Which means I should begin bragging about it on all my socials.

Should, as I frequently say, is not is.

Today, I'm offski to the specialist to see to my janky heels and the bone spurs within. After that, I'll get the shopping done before retreating to the sanctuary of home. With a treato or two.

I think I've absorbed the basics of making a button in Pseuducku, so I'll be trying with the 'bird' buttons first. The first four, which will be necessary on the Tutorial levels. Once I get them behaving, I can work on the others.

One at a time.

I'll probably start working on that this Thursday. When I have the mental energy to devote to that.

Gotta pace myself when I'm at Lo Batt.

UPDATE!

I may not have to have an operation at all! There's a sonic treatment that could easily provide permanent relief and that will be MOST welcome if it does.

And... cool factor... there's also lasers!

Which means I can make all the scifi gags I like until I become intolerable.

Be warned.

Tuesday, Free? Time?

I got shopping to do, Patreon posts to make [I forgot again], offerings to create and some chapters to record. I also have some mock-ups to create and test.

I also have to re-size my prototype since I've made a mistake regarding the screenie, all so I can create a mock-up for the progress part of my Pseuducku logs.

Kind of feeling a little lucky that Beloved's in crunch time and I have the hours to spare.

I have a knack of

Tuesday, Grand Run-Around Commence!

I'm trying to be as quick as possible on the blog entry this morrow. Why? Well... there's stuff happening today. Including:

  • Trip to MeMum's to set up her TV and remote situation
  • Which includes dragging Beloved along because I have no firkin clue how to do the thing
  • And that includes dropping Beloved off at the buss stop close to noonish so she can get back to the office because all she can swing is a half day
  • Huzzah
  • So I have

Wednesday, Run-Around and Forget-A-Lot

I wuzgunna post my Patreon shit on Monday, and then I forgot. I wuzgunna catch up, yesterday. Then I forgot. I hope to get my Patreon stuff posted today.

However...

  • I'm driving Mayhem to work, all things being good
  • I need to do a grocery run
  • I have a dentist's appointment
  • And terribad asthma
  • AND I'm baking bread today

I have over-extended so everything offering-oriented will be happening at a weird pace.

I'm doing my stretchies and will post this blog after

Tuesday, Payday, Shopping, and Supply Run

We shall have money today. Hooray. We need to pay for so much stuff. Boo. We've run out of a lot of things and stocking up is going to be a BITCH.

BUT it also has to be done. I can only hope that we can afford a little more than the minimums because running out of that before payday hurts me in the anxiety.

I'm keeping an eye on our bank account and hoping to all higher powers that the money

Saturday, Parkrun and The Barbie Movie

The planned shenanigans had the plan implode so the four of us [Beloved, Adorable, Miss Chaos, and I] zipped off to see Barbie starring Margot Robbie.

My recommend: WATCH. IT.

It's meta and philosophical and heartwarming and hilarious and it doesn't even matter that Will "I was hot shit on Saturday Night Live" Farrel is in it. As a character, he's effectively useless and just is there to draw in the SNL fanboys. Strictly IMHO.

It's also got some very subversive things

Wednesday, Wordpress, Date Night, and Revelations

Yesterday, I finished Chapter 280. All I needed to do was have half an hour away from the temptation of Dwarf Fortress.

So that's what I'm trying today.

After I write this blog, I shall have to leave to go shopping for essentials [cat food, tinned fish for the fam, more cream for my good self]

The kids have been on a tinned fish bender lately and supplies are running low.

So my day started with needing cream and graduated to a

Friday, Shenanigans Afoot

I managed to wrangle a day for my Beloved to go visit MeMum and thereby sort out some tech issues that I could not unfuck on my own.

The problem with this is that it's also the day that Mum's offski to do shopping thanks to an Elderly Care Transit System.

So I have to be ready to take off at a time of convenience.

Which means that I will likely be working on my Starter on Sunday [Wilson the Wholemeal Starter

Monday, Running About

I have to go to Costco to fetch TP, and while I'm there, I might as well do a cans run and pick up some Nori while I'm out.

And since I'm out anyway, I might as well go forth to the shops and fetch a few things for the fam.

But first, there's the Tale Foundry backup reads. Which will take a lot of the morning.

You might not see any story out of me until later in the evening.

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

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.

::Cue William Tell But Not Really::

Today, I am driving to the other side of the world Brisbane to fetch MeMum so we can have her over for Christmas day.

This comes on the heels of a disturbed night because this years' seemingly traditional Yule Disaster(tm) has happened to Capt. S.

The family is taking steps, because this one looks like a gold class clusterfuck that could have only been solved as it happened, and nobody got the memo as it was happening. I'm under orders to

Round Round, Run Around...

I haven't had much time for my usual slack-a-thon, lately. My activities on Tuesday consisted of (a) writing and (b) finally purchasing the scrattle necessary to build up a stock for EGDB. The process for which included some last-instant additions and two hours of Beloved not getting back to me about the sureness of the expense.

Beloved forgot, once again, that I am very nervous about spending three figures on myself. Especially when it's something that can backfire so very spectacularly like
