Monday, Backup Reads, Promptcast and So On

The Archive only had one story for the backups. It is Slow Season, so it might not be a sign of dire warnings. I hope.

I wrote half my Promptcast thing yesterday. I aim to finish it up and get eyes on it today or tomorrow. Fingers crossed I can actually do that.

Meanwhile, I have a story to work on, comics to sort through and catalogue, and eventually books to redistribute into alternate areas than Draft2Digital. Plus a cover to draw. A Sextology to polish. Et. Cetera.

One dingdang job at a time.

Onwards to the thing that nominally earns me money.

Sunday, Mor Stream, Mor Shenanigan

The Promptcast is reading stories, starting today. Maybe going on to tomorrow.

I've also fucked up my sleep cycle somehow and have been awake since 10PM. It's now almost 3AM.

So I'm going to just buckle down and try to write today's tale before the Promptcast launches. I might be asleep shortly after. Time, again, will tell.

Who knows? I may yet find a way to reset my internal alarm clock.

Onwards to the fiction.

Saturday, Stream Stuff and Idle Days

Going to make sure I have money for next week, check how capable I am at having money the week after that... and tune in to the Promptcast's interview thing today.

One flash fiction and maybe some game time. It depends on how quickly I get the work done. I'm hoping to have some hours to make progress on BG3.

Hope is a wonderful gift, sometimes.

Time, as always, will tell.

I can do this. I used to be able to do

Friday, Angry at Corporate

There's a new 'feature' on Patreon, allegedly for safety. They need my legal name. They need it:

a) to avoid payout delays
b) to keep the community safe
c) to earn on the platform

They give all three of these as an excuse in the popup on Patreon. Fortunately, their security is pretty up there. I am still less than inclined to immediately trust the corporations.

They all piss me off.

I'm still keeping my government name as much out of the

Thursday, No PLNs

I might actually have nothing planned for today. Which means that I shall take what means I need to remedy my ailments [soup for the pre-lurgi scratch, rice for the intestinal issues] as well as taking my time with my daily tale.

But if I try to hurry it along, I have more time for de-stressing activities.

I'm up to coffee and pills, and it's half-past nine.

I think I might need some luck.

Wednesday, Shopping Again

I have fed the cats, my starter, and myself. Yay. Currently filling in the time until ten by going through my nonsense in order.

My lovelies are offski getting laundry sorted for the meanwhile. At some point in the future, there will be Wardrobe Filtering.

I have NO idea what we're doing for the looming Crimbus season. Hell, I've barely done anything for the short story cover.

Disorganised today, datorganised tomorrow.

The PLN, such as it is:

  • Attempt to write the daily

Monday, Last Moving Day

Beloved is shuttling things up in the TARDIS car while Adorable packs, shifts, and chucks relevant objects. So I am pretty much stuck where I am for the day.

On the plus side, I did finally get to make an attempt at Centaur Porridge. Without cloves, because my cloves got chucked.

When I go shopping (likely tomorrow) I shall pick up some cloves, as well as apples, to try perfecting the recipe. Maybe. I made way too much this time and I

Sunday, Mor Stream Stuff

Today, wheel of randomness willing, shall be the premiere of the fifth fucking WIP they're responsible for. Hope you tune in.

I shall be allegedly focussing on the daily tale and the stream moderation.

As for my lovelies, I do believe they are off in Brizvegas scooping up the last of the remaining nonsense over there. I hope it all gets sorted in time.

It's Beloved's Outaversary and once again, I can't get her anything special because all my energy is focussed

Saturday, Stream Shenanigans and Cough Cures

I have junk in my lungs that is not shifting easily, but is making my daily life a pain in the bum. I have things that will help shift it, including going completely off the Keto for a spell. It seems to be working so far.

My lovelies are off in Brizvegas finishing up the unfuckening of the old base of operations. As I understand things, this Monday is the last day.

I have misunderstood things before.

I should learn not to

Friday, Bad Air Day

We lost at Trivia Night. Whoops. Next week, we're calling ourselves the Bad Ass Losers. Might as well lean into it.

I'm dealing with some asthma shenanigans and a Cyclone Headache. I have no idea on what my lovelies are doing besides cleaning up their old base in Brizvegas, and I might be spending a majority of today horizontal in a dark room because MY FACE HURTS.

Yes, I have taken painkillers. I am waiting for them to kick in.

Onwards to

Thursday, Trivia Night

My lovelies are offski in Brizvegas, sledgehammering stuff and chucking it in the skip. There is no news on the appearance of the foretold van, but I am nevertheless on starter blocks about that if need so be.

I spent practically all of yesterday working on the Promptcast thing. There are now FIVE fucking WIPs directly related to the Promptcast's shenanigans.

Powers know when any of them are going to be firkin done, but they will reach that point eventually. Or a

Wednesday, Locking In

Hocus pocus, I need to focus. Why? Well...

  • I have one less day to work on the Promptcast entry because of timing shenanigans last week
  • Beloved will be renting a van to finish up working on Adorable's ex-house
  • Which means I will have the use of my car for three days
  • Which, in turn, means that I can go on a run to MeMum's for tech support, taxi duties, and stuff delivery. Huzzah.

Mum? Write your agenda now. Further bulletins as events

Tuesday, Census and Shenanigans

It's census day today, and the nosy buggers in the administration section want to know all kinds of things about me and my life. At least I'm on the rolls as an Enby now.

Noted on the e-Census:

  • No space for Jews in the religion section
  • Birth sex and gender identity are noted, as is sexuality
  • Birth sex is mandatory
  • They're really interested in how you get to work. There's tons of options including "Work from home"

We're getting it done early

Monday, Urgent Shopping Nonsense

We need kitty litter. There's other things on my list, but the litter is the most urgent of them all.

And I get to take Adorable's Mum [I think I'll go with AM for short henceforth] out on my circuit to see where I hunt out the bargains. Which promises to be a fun experience even if it will wipe me out by the time I'm done.

Today's story will be happening after my post-shopping nap, belike.

I can try to get
