Tired Bean

A 21-post collection

Thursday, Tired Bean

I've been waking up early to chatter with maniacs again. Not for D&D but for a writing collaboration. It's... getting out of hand.

And so is my sleep cycle.

Which is why I'm writing this entry at one in the afternoon. Not at all helped by everything and its kid brother's dog waking me up before I got a proper rest in.

Onwards to today's story. Don't be surprised if I end up phoning it in. I'll try not to, but I am feeling a lot down today.

My laptop is apparently too old for its software to behave properly 9_9 Sigh.

Monday, Backup Reads and Video

The writer's group is meeting again and I'm waiting my turn to read mine. Then when that's done, I get on with commencing the video prep and the rest of my offerings.

Of course I already have a story for the Archive. I'm just Like That(tm).

Nothing too much going on beyond that. I think I shall attempt to do the cutscene art today. I have thought of ways to do some cheaty things and I shall see how that works

Friday, Accomplishments and Anticipation

As mentioned earlier, I have a barely-functional edition of Pseuducku. I'm hoping the fam will have a plan for me to share that thing with you. If they tell me to ask Cursor, I'll mention that I'm running out of queries.

I've seen to the Catio already, I'm about to read a story for the vids, and I got half a chapter accomplished because I woke up at fuckoff AM again.

So it's the videos and the offerings today. And messing around

Monday, Backup Reads, Fetch Quest, and Compromise

I have to wear clothes, go place, and do thing today. Because there's mail I need to get from the post office. BLARGH.

Going place and doing thing on a Monday is not my favourite idea. But Tuesday is too late to do it.

Bothery.

I have a vague idea for a future schedule for my story reads. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday seems like a reasonable spacing to keep both PeerTube and TubeTube satisfied.

It's going to be "fun" keeping that schedule,

Thursday, Appointment Day

For one glorious hour, I thought I had a solution to the Zrythm thing. The potential fix didn't work and I don't know what I did to make it not work. I mean, apart from having the Fickle Finger when it comes to tech.

I have faith that it will get unriddled in good time.

I have a shrink appointment, and physio happening today. At least I only have the minimal offerings to fret about today.

And I got out all the

Wednesday, Catching Up and Relaxing a Bit

The good news is that my feet don't hate me more than usual. The bad news is that I have to wear a thumb brace on my right hand... because I did something weird with a nerve in there, last week, and an even half of everything I do aggravates it.

So my Butcher's Book goes without a contribution for another day.

I'm hard pressed just walking around with my cane. Writing with a pen is awkward at best. Honestly, using my

Sunday, Game Night and Exhaustion Points

Lots of laughs in the game tonight. The adopted Goblin became a level one barbarian with some adjusted statistics because toddler Goblin. All toddlers are barbarians. Fight me.

Despite having a post-game nap, I'm still bloody tired, today. I'll see how I feel by 5PM, when the heat allegedly starts to wane from the day and we'll theoretically be able to do more strategic pruning.

I'm still studying how to make pop-up windows in GameMaker, and I might try a couple of

Wednesday, Rant Due and Other PLNs

I checked the weather this morning and, as soon as it's legal to use power tools - it's too hot to do anything outdoors where the power tools are.

Dang.

Hoping for a rainy day so it's cool enough to do things, soon.

I'm wondering what to do for this week's rant, and hoping something will crop up before I have to do it. As for the meantime - bread.

I've got everything measured out and waiting for the starter to ripen.

Friday, Mor Shenanigans

I have to drop off Mayhem early this AM so I can do the shrink zoom meeting happening today.

Which means hoping he remembers to launch early.

I did finally get to signal for help at the GameMaker community. Yay. I've yet to make a start on my weekly rant.

Ugh.

I'm just so tired and the day hasn't even begun.

Maybe I'll get everything done today. Including cleaning the Catio.

I need all the luck I can get.

Tuesday, Tech Support and Tired Bean

It's MeMum's birthday so she got free tech support - which included making her mouse pointer way more visible, showing her how to navigate her smart TV, and figuring out how to make DVD's work with that same setup.

Mission accomplished there.

Now I'm back home, I needs must focus on my offerings for the day. For tomorrow, I am back on the bullshit.

Looking forward to free time to work on other things, but I also need a lot of sleep.

Saturday, Lurgi Again

I was all set and ready to do parkrun today... Until about 7PM when my eyes spontaneously crunchified and my nose began running like a gorram tap.

Yes folks, I once again have Lurgi. Replete with the wonderful world of digestive issues. Yay. Not.

So today I am focussing on achieving bodily stability whilst also working on bread. Because I also need to make bread this weekend.

Offerings soon. Attempts at project maybe. Farting around for sure.

Sunday, So Tired

My foot firkin HATES me, so I'm highly motivated to stay off it. And I've also realised how much I've left by the wayside this week gone. My brain has been fixated with attempts to remain organised and as a result, I've let a lot of other things go by the wayside.

I gotta bake - my loaves have gone mouldy. I gotta feed my Starter. I gotta go shopping... I gotta make my daily offerings.

And I would much rather take

Wednesday: Ranting Due and Shenanigans

I'm squeezing productivity out of my minutes available this morning. I have a two-hour round trip commencing in a few minutes, followed by shopping for varied essentials. Then there's the time window to wedge in the rest of my offerings today.

When Mayhem moves to part-time, following his training, we'll both have a schedule to operate with.

This is more planning than I'm used to.

I'm halfway tempted to talk about scheduling issues this week. I am NOT going grumpy again. I'll

Saturday, Parkrun, B12, and Assorted Shenanigans

As I write this, my Beloved is having a nap. I am stocking up on some internal caffeine because the B-complex I'm taking only stretches a little further than 24 hours after I took it.

Translation: my energy levels are still shit.

I expect this shall be sorted out in a week or two, but in the meantime I have to deal by other means.

I've seen another image in which it's revealed that Beloved has even more hardware in her arm

Monday, Tale Foundry reads and some PLNs

The Foundry peeps are sharing their stories as I write, which means the offerings may be delayed.

I hope to spare some time for a chapter at a later point, but given how things are sideways, I do doubt.

I'll probably end up messing about in Satisfactory if I'm honest about things.

I need the endorphins, and mucking about in game space gives me something I can actually do and I'm facing today tired.

Tomorrow, I shall likely be visiting, so all
