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. Tomorrow, I should be baking. Huzzah.

It's been hard to get started today. And it's hard to keep going, too. Nevertheless, I keep going anyway.

Offerings soon

Wednesday, Rant and PLNs

I am definitely going to share some thoughts about the game, What Remains of Edith Finch. I also have goals to acquire things to make a different kind of bread cutter guide for Miss Chaos.

Step one - finding a small wooden bread board for cheap - has been a bit of a stumbling block. If I get my nonsense out early today, I shall try some other venues to acquire the necessary materials.

The idea being that, if slicing bread vertically

Wednesday, Rant Due and NBN!

Between one and five this afternoon, the NBN crew come around to do the box installations that will make us fully connected. And then I find out whether or not the weather is going to have a bad influence on our connectivity.

Yay.

Tomorrow, I should also feed my starter, no matter what else I have going on.

...which reminds me, I should get my butter out of the fridge so that it's nice and soft for bikkies. That done, I shall

Wednesday, Rant Due and Other PLNs

Mayhem needs bronchitis mix, I need cream. Holding out for payday means that I can take money out and still afford the shopping.

Strategy(tm).

But Mayhem needs the bronchitis medicine sooner than payday, so I gotta put on my Big Bean clothes and go out and get stuff. Yay?

That will happen after I do a dose on the nebuliser and run through my stretchies.

Which I should do now before I forget. Story when I'm done with the BS.

Wednesday, Rant due, but Lurgi

I don't know about doing anything extra today. If I do put up something, it'll probably be about home remedies. Because I can share something about that with minimal thought.

...and speaking of minimal thought, Satisfactory is running its Ficsmas event and there is little more fun than running around an alien world, scooping up falling presents, and listening to the in-game AI chide you about wasting time.

It's very tempting, not going to lie.

So is crawling back to bed.

Mayhem's

Wednesday, More Experts and Rant

I have a divided day because experts in the middle of the afternoon. I know what's going to wind up in my extended rant for today, but I do not know when I'll be able to finish and publish that thing.

I know I'll get at least a couple of sentences into my novel because waiting room. Yay.

Meanwhile, I'm doing what I can whilst I can. Including my stretchies.

Moving on to an attempt at my Instant Story.

Wednesday, Rant Due and Upcoming PLNs

Mayhem once again has Tuesdays off. It was a temporary thing, and has to be reset regularly. Honestly, the sooner Mayhem can drive himself there and back, the better for everyone.

I might cover how I keep writing because I've been asked that again. How I can have such a relentless output. Honestly, it's how to adopt a habit. Getting into the routine of writing.

I've never been wanting for ideas, so my advice would be finding a decent source of writing

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

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
