Shrink Day

A 21-post collection

Tuesday, Patreon and Shrinky Dinks

I forgot I had a shrink appointment today. Whoopsy doodles. Fortunately, automated systems saved my butt and I can keep an eye on the time.

So I can rant about the publishing slog BUT I gotta remember to talk about self-blame and get some strategies because I need that AND I've been forgetting for a large amount of time. If I forget again, my Beloved will be ticked.

Chaos is going on an overnight thing again tomorrow, and she seems to enjoy them. And I'm the one who has to chase down some missing things. Huzzah.

After the Shrink call, [with an 80% chance of cat butt] I must hie myself outwards to the shops to fetch the last missing things from Chaos' camping inventory, and make sure they're packed. No worries there.

Somewhere in today, I shall get the common samples. First three chapters, first chapter, first thirty pages. All in separate documents, all saved as PDF and DocX formats, and the source Google Doc in case someone has some formatting issues they want refined.

And if I get that done, I can take a breather and play some Minecraft with fellow authors in the Tale Foundry crew. I might see if I can do two games at once because I have farms on Kraz's server that need grass grown.

Experimentation be fun. Succeed or fail, I learn something.

I also have to post my nonsense, both today's tale and my Patreon stuff, so let's get going with that.

Woot.

Friday, Plague Day 11, Shrinkydinks

I need more sleep. I am pretty much constantly out of breath. I do still possess my sense of smell.

I have learned that I am better at doing things when I am seated. Which puts an entire kibosh on a lot of activities.

I have also had an incident with the low-blood pressure wooblies. In which standing up almost causes me to pass out.

Which, in turn, means that my Beloved is on my tail to imbibe more fluids. Bless.

Wednesday, Wordpress and Shrinky Shenanigans

I derped, yesterday, and mistook the date of my shrink appointment for yesterday instead of today. Fun. So now I have more leftover anxiety to flop around about on Date Night. Yay.

I may or may not write about my first encounter with possible sexual assault later today. My shrink and my Beloved will be the only people who get a direct link.

In other news, a very dumb American state has passed a bill to "protect women" by... (reads the smudged

Tuesday, Day 0, Patreon, Shrink, and Dink

Plague news: Two new cases, both imports. There's sixteen total active cases, fourteen of them are in hospital. Australia's at 90.5% first vax, 83% fully vaxxed. Queensland's still last in the vax rate at 82% first vax and 70.5% fully vaxxed. Now that we're at 70% first dose, the borders are OPEN.

Bring on the plague carriers from NSW and Victoria, I guess.

Tuesday, Day 0, Headshrinkery Ho

My normal routine is on the road this morning. I shall be working on the lappy as I go a-roaming. My shrink is in for some edutainment today.

Thirteen total cases, and eleven of those are in hospital.

Also today is the official beginning of me staying the hell away from anything close to a carb. I have been indulging too much in my sweet tooth and its been getting to my health.

Not looking at the news. I have nonsense to
