Weird Writer Wednesday

A 22-post collection

Wednesday, Rant Due and Embuggerance

I got a notification this morning of an NDIS meeting at ten today. So I moved mountains to be ready for that.

And then it didn't happen. Yay.

So now I'm back onto my offerings for the day after taking due care of myself for the day. Betting a dollar that the actual thing will be happening in the afternoon despite the notification about ten.

I'll get that unriddled one way or another if/when it happens.

I need to focus. And my brain is slowly turning into pudding.

Wednesday, Rant Due and Other PLNs

At least I remembered my pills with my coffee today. So there's that. The downside is I had the little container full of pills with me for at least a firkin week. Forgotten every single time I was out and needed to take them. Yay.

I need to get back onto the anxiety meds I've run out of. They're non-prescription and specialised so it's a bit of a slog to get them seen to. And, of course, ex$pen$ive.

And speaking

Wednesday, Rant Day and Psych Day

I just have myself a really firkin crowded week. I'm glad I took the days off to start with. Powers know I don't have the time to relax until next gorram week.

If I'm lucky.

What I have been able to achieve is a source of free sounds to use in Pseuducku. Just for button clicks. I'll be recording duck noises for the game at a later date.

Much later. When I've figured out all the nonsense behind making the buttons do

Wednesday, Rant Due and Foot News

I do not need to have my feet sliced open. Which is great news for me. What's happening as far as I understand it is that I will be getting therapy on the tendon responsible for the pain.

Such therapy involves deep tissue sonic vibrations. There's another therapy involving lasers that's part of the deal.

Which means that I will be making jokes about having a Sonic Heel and being put in the tank with the sharks1. It amuses me and

Thursday, I owe, I owe...

I owe y'all a rant entry for Weird Writer Wednesday. I might do a thing about being a very amateur game designer and the journey to create Pseuducku so far. Mostly because I haven't had the time to sit back and think about what else to recommend the larger world.

What has been on my mind is the processes I must go through in order to do the seemingly simplest thing for the game I'm making. My trials and tribulations, the delays,

Wednesday, Rant Day and Sideways Day

I'm still on my coffee, pills, and vegemite soup. Mayhem just called for a retrieval so I'm doing what I can to get underway but I still have to finish my doses.

In an hour or so, there will be an update about my PLNs. Stay tuned.

Update:

I have returned from my journey so now I can figure out what the flying heck I'm doing with my remaining time. I'm running out of things to recommend, but I think I shall

Wednesday, Rant Soon?

I just about finished off my meds and doses, and I got the text from Mayhem to come fetch him back home. I'm still finishing off my morning soup.

I'll run and go fetch him real soon.

When I get back... It's daily offerings, the rant, and maybe even time enough to muck around with GameMaker.

Whatever.

I am taking chill time.

But first... a fetch quest.

Wednesday, Rant Due and Shaking the Debuffs

I am smearing so many products on myself and swallowing so many others. I smear stuff on my corked calves to try and get them to firkin RELAX. I smear stuff on my hair to keep the colours looking neat. I smear stuff on my face to stop large chunks of it flaking off. And there's the more normal smearing of stuff on my teeth to keep them clean.

There's one medication I inhale, and that's my preventer.

I won't go into

Wednesday, Rant Day and Lack of Clues

As I write, I have very little idea of what I'm going to do for this week's Weird Writer Wednesday. I might resort to a State of the WIP if no other ideas float into my cranium.

So far, I have driven Mayhem to work, hurried back so I could be in time for a telehealth shrink appointment. Then there were technical issues that made connecting at all a problem and a half. Yay.

It's almost midday, and I only just now

Wednesday, Writer's Rant and Shenanigans

Mayhem's entered negotiation to have two days off a week, in which to decompress, fill out his Learners, and otherwise have a life.

The sooner he's transportationally free, the better things will be.

For all of us. I'll have some freedom back, I'll have what passes for my social life back. I'll be able to run long-range errands again.

But that's a little bit away from now. Whatever days we get, I'll rearange my life accordingly. I'd like to have Tuesdays and

Wednesday, Rant Day and Crowded Schedule Once More

It's just after Midday and I just got back from my shenanigans today. Mayhem's over his tummy bug and hoping he doesn't get sick again. Lad used to be proud of his ability to not get sick, but it turns out that it was mostly due to not leaving his room too often.

Lad needs to get his flu shots and look after himself a little better. BUT he also needs to come to that realisation himself because he just won't firkin

Wednesday, Rant Day & Shopping PLNs

I think I shall give a shout-out to Girl Genius today. Tomorrow, I go get supplies after I drop off Mayhem and hope for enough time to chill thereafter.

Results may be negligible.

I'm going to go jiggery-pokering around in Stencyl later today if I have the time. If not, I'll check another month of tags on the app-to-be.

That's usually pretty fast.

Mayhem's having his doubts about his job. I told him he should at least give himself a chance to

Wednesday, Leyland's Tour and Rant Incoming

So here's the PLN:

  1. I do my stretchies because it's 4AM and I have the time
  2. I feed the cats [Most important!]
  3. I get dressed and strap on my knees
  4. I torture my feet
  5. I pack up my pills in a small container
  6. I haul my sorry butt off to MeMum's for an extended pickup relay and technotutorial-slash-unfucking session
  7. Haul myself home for the daily offerings.

I PLN on working on today's rant whilst out and about, thus lightening my load when

Wednesday, Rant Incoming, Psych Day, and Sundry

I got myself a very crammed day, today. The daily offerings, the weekly rant, a telehealth psych appointment, and at least one side project to work on.

Yay.

The telehealth's due in less than an hour, my Smashwords account is migrating to Draft2Digital, and I do not have enough hours in the day to deal with all the stuff I have queueing up for my conscious hours.

I don't know whether it's depression or old age that's eating my days with sleep.
