I have a Promptcast thing to edit, physio today, and a blog post to at least attempt to arrange. Because of Promptcast shenanigans, I have to move my future appointments around. Small beans in the grand scheme of things.
But now my Wednesdays are fully booked out. I can move the Physio to Tuesdays and not worry too hard.
But today... I will not have time for breakfast until it's closer to lunch.
'Tis the way of things, alas.
One day, I shall be organised. That day is not today.
I am stocking up on stuff and things today. I also PLN on finishing off the Promptcast thing, working on rewriting ADT, and the daily tale. Yay.
If I have the spoons, I have to also work on Weird Writer Wednesday, and put in some things for my Patreon patrons.
Yes, I know I have to space things out. No, I'm not sure how I can do that when I also need to traipse around Meatspace for hours and hours. Yes, I

Yay.
On top of all my other physical BS, navigating the heat and the crazy crowds is not my number one thing to do. I'll survive it because I have to.
I'll be bitching the entire time and likely need a post-expedition nap, but I can do it.
Today's PLN includes 500 words into my Promptcast entry as well as

The PLNs today include the moderating, the daily tale, and whatever nonsense I can cook up for Weird Writer Wednesday.
Pondering my recovery and health is looking like it's going to be a process. Including a change of diet and some form of exercise to build up what I can of my body.
(Slight bit peeved that asking for help received minimal effort from Beloved,

I brushed my hair for the first time in three days. I did some of my stretchies. I made breakfast. I'm about to take my meds, which I missed yesterday.
This is progress. It is slow and steady.
Progress is not linear but I am feeling better. Today.
I do know something that can help but it's terrible for my weight control - sugar.
The Promptcast

No such luck.
I woke up weary. Exhausted and in pain when I should have been fresh and ready to go about my daily tasks. So I flopped back in bed and tried to catch some extra rest.
It felt like gravity was doing double duty. It took as much effort to roll

Further investigation revealed that Whenitrains Creek is not only running, but it has a pal by the Eastern fence. And the news that the rain is going to continue for the foreseeable future.
I'm calling it now. We're getting a second once-a-century flood inside of 20 years.
And people say that climate change isn't real.
With the shitty weather comes the threat of

My knees are nominally operational again, but my right hip has taken it's turn, with my back, to make functioning in meatspace more than a little difficult.
I'm doing what I can to improve the situation, but I'm still on low-batt/minimal spoons today.
I have 1K left worth of words to put into my Promptcast thing and I have yet to reach the prompt I want to use. Soon.
My PLN is to plug in the last 1K and

I did not rise from my bed before seven. I've been having emotional difficulty commencing my day by rising from my bed. Short version: Depression and Anxiety have synergised into making that my daily problem.
My steak, which I put in the fridge to thaw, had been shoved into a back area where it would remain partially frozen. Thus, I had to dawdle getting the rest of my breakfast and, long story short, It was HALF PAST
Read more »I got a promptcast to moderate, since the stories spilled over. I have shopping to do [fortunately a quick trip to the local shops] and a shrink meet today.
At some point, I will put in 500 words into the Promptcast entry for next week. And write the story du jour.
It's a busy day.
Now that my book is out, I can get back onto other money-scrimping shenanigans. Like working on the entire catalogue of comics I shall be selling off.
Read more »The Promptcast is streaming again today. I shall be spreading the prompts far and wide whilst enticing people to write for the stream. I shall also be posting a story and likely playing Dressmaker for hours on end.
It's the puzzle-solvy aspect. It reels me in.
Story whenever. I'm enjoying the show

I think I might write my tale and take a nap. [And probably play more Dressmaker when I wake up]
I might take a nap and then write the daily tale.
I might write

Nevertheless, Not With a Bang is available in all good e-bookstores everywhere Ingram Spark chooses to advertise.

Read more »I just have a few more steps before putting Not With a Bang out there. A little bit of "thanks for reading" at the back of the book. Assigning an ISBN, and looking into the print version while I'm there.
Not a lot to do, and I should stop procrastinating on that.
The Promptcast is having an early stream today. I'm also treating my stupid fucking ankle and making some dough that I'll be baking tomorrow.
I never fucking stop, do I?

I finally got the cover art ready to roll, so now it's a question of working around my various editor program's quirks to get a legible copy into LibreOffice. For example: Copying from Ellipsus directly into LibreOffice will give me GREEN TEXT where the italics are For Some Fucked Up Reason... so I had to copy it into GoogDocs, copy from Googdocs, and
