I need to prep a video. I need to write two stories for the price of one. Fortunately, I've already added into A Devil's Tale so that's one less thing to fret about.
I just spent a majority of my day shopping so I might not get the video done.
And I have to go to the quacks to get a prescription for my preventer. Because my extant scrip expired. Yay. Not. Unfun stuff.
I'll try all the same.
Stories first. After I ice my dumb ankle.
I got my lovelies coming over to deal with my ever-extending Honeydew list. I think I might have convinced them by adding a few things to the list in-between asking them about it.
Procrastination regarding the list just means more list.
Kind'a like a lot of my problems, if I think about it too hard. And I try not to because of the headaches I get if I do.
The story and video stuff will be happening after the fix-a-thon. Whenever that

Of course I'm going to record my first play for Peertube. I might even use a few plays for B-roll on my story reads.
I'm still babying my ankle and swearing my way through my knee stretchies in the morning. Trust me folks, start your body maintenance when you're young. It's worse than a bitch to build it back up again.
At least there's some notable

I don't have to release this thing this year. I can get it perfected, construct the cover, and have it all lined up for next year.
I've got today's Peertube video out. Yay. I've had my dosages. Hooray. I've done my stretchies and cooled off my ankle.
I'm struggling with all other

I'm using that time for other creative things on my lappy.
I have the usual nonsense to create for the temple of notes. And the hope of having spare time to enjoy some things.
As for my knee stretchies, I am repeating, "Progress is not linear" like it's a mantra. Translation

Slop and mush and reheated rebooted, revamped retro nostalgia. New ideas are scary.
I could have a go at how relative "fire bad" attitudes are.
Just looked up the quote. It's "Technology bad, fire scary, Thomas Edison was a witch." So I'll paraphrase if I get there.
But first - the fiction.

I have months in which to improve my knees' ability to withstand bending and walking.
I will get there. It's just going to take a bit of a while.
Another concern is that I've started needing the bracer on my right knee again. I'll talk about it with my

Soon, the backup reads, the daily shenanigans, and getting the video ready to post because my stupid ass forgot to make it yesterday.
Doing what I can how I can and hoping to heck I have the spoons in order to do it.

On the plus side, I have been working on a potential Halloween story. Powers know what I'm going to do for a cover, but that's a problem for if it gets finished. For all I know, it might be out next year. September is dwindling away, after all.
I am reminding myself to be kind to me. If it gets done, it gets done. If not,

At least I get to noodle around with fiction other than the daily offerings while that's going on.

Icing my stupid ankle now takes at least half an hour because I have a third axis to chill it down. On the plus side, half an hour to work on various alternate projects.
On the minus side, more opportunity to space out and not do the regular offerings. I'm emotionally lagging on motivation, and pretty

Updates as events warrant.

Which is a lie. I have finished up half a chapter of ADT, I've been working on some fun fiction this morning. And I'm reaching for motivation to start submitting books at people again, but it's the kind of work that makes my bones feel heavy and uuuuuurgh.

This morning was a little on the rough side. Awake and productive at 1AM, unable to rest but sleepy by 3AM. Awake at some point after my morning alarm went off.
I'm determined to look after myself. Which can be a little bit of an emotional drag when I'd much

It worked to get me half a chapter, last Friday. It worked to get several chunks into various fanfics. I have confidence that it can work today.
