I have to keep an eye on the time so I can take off with adequate minutes to make it to my physio. And from there on a brief expedition for stuff and things.
Very few stuff and things, thank grop. Things I can easily afford even if payday is a smidge tardy. Yay. With even space for a little treato for the trip home.
Huzzah.
I shall be attempting to write today's tale in the time I have left.
Wish me luck.
I have my knees on, I have my ankle brace on, I have a long, long journey to several stops ahead. We're out of all kinds of things and my poor little TARDIS car is going to be PACKED.
And I am going to be exhausted.
My story will be happening sometime this afternoon, because all the shops will be opening shortly.
Meanwhile, check my Peertube for one of the archival ones. Read for you by yours truly.
Read more »Technically, I am very productive today. I have caught up with video production. I've written another half a chapter [at something close to 1AM]. I have five chapters to read for Adorable, the daily offerings, the rant, and maybe some free time for myself yet to do.
I now have an invidious account by which to avoid giving metrics to YouTube. As far as they're concerned, I'm just not there any more.
The next step is waiting for my world-class unfuckerer sorting
Read more »I have found a way to watch YouTube without giving them activity. Huzzah.
The process is currently hitting a few snags, but I am firkin DETERMINED to get this done. If it takes me all day, it takes me all day.
So far, since 2AM: I have written half a chapter, fed the cats [the most important part of my day - ask the cats], got my brekkie, took my meds, and posted my Patreon stuff. Huzzah!
Something that includes a fanfic
Read more »I have a means to watch my fave TubeTubers without setting off the All Hallowed Algorithm or making it look like I'm still watching YouTube. There's jiggery-pokery involved, of course, but it's better than bowing to the wowsers.
I have written my story for the Archive, and I should at least think about my "leaving YouTube manifesto" and maybe a reply to the "change your PFP to Clippy" thing. I need scripts or I'll ramble. It needs to be brief and snappy.
Read more »I'm doing a compy swap for Miss Chaos, which means taking her TempoCompy(tm) to Adorable's, making sure her old compy works, and then taking the old compy home and leaving Adorable with the TempoCompy. Which is now the fam's TempoCompy. For all the assorted temporary computer needs. Huzzah.
Which leaves Mayhem baking the second batch of bread and doing... experiments with it. Fun. I'll find out how that went when I get home. Either way, we eat the results.
And, because
Read more »It's the 13 so I am staying off TubeTube today and tomorrow. In solidarity with all the other folks protesting the bloody stupid AI age limit thing.
And to add to that, I shall be doing a little something against Collective Shout. The regrettable mob of wowsers and pearl-clutchers that I happen to share a country with. Like most regrettable groups, they sometimes have a decent point. Age limiting TubeTube or forcing credit card companies to avoid income is not going to
Read more »I've written the story for the next Archive prompt. I've posted the meme for yesterday in Blahaj.zone. I'm about to write today's tale and work on tomorrow's video.
After a week of snippets and little patches, I have finished a chapter of ADT. Huzzah. Also good news - Toasty has finished Escape From Divinity but I don't have the freedom to watch it just yet. Because the Archive stream is still going.
The bread I spent three days making is looking
Read more »Spent most of today in very good company as the process of investigating Chaos' computer issues got properly unriddled. Diagnosis - one of her compy cooling fans wasn't.
She now has a temporary computer to see her over to the time in which the original is fixed. This will also help various server downtimes with our personal infrastructure. Or having backup systems when we need them.
And I do confess to spending some of the time I could have been writing in
Read more »I'm going off to have my heels hammered today. On the way back, I'm stopping at Costco, Dickson's, and Aldi. For a very pliable definition of "on the way back".
I'm also wrangling bread.
So today is definitely going to be "fun".
Added to this "fun" is the fact that Chaos' compy is not playing nice. I have to pack it up and haul it down to Adorable's tomorrow. Which means I'll also be packing up a cold pack, an ice brick,
Read more »I am feeling exhausted from the moment I get out of bed, so I know I need a breather. I'm spending today, tomorrow, and the day after wrangling a double batch of bread and holy shit, I need a holiday.
If I record and edit Friday's video today, I can take tomorrow at ease. Or relative ease. I've given myself so much to do that I have to really juggle time in order to take time off.
Something's got to break, and
Read more »Hi ho, off to work Mayhem goes. Then I have to do the backup reads, some recordings and videos to wrangle, and shopping to do. And bread to bake.
As well as the usual offerings unto the temple of notes, icing my ankle every two hours, and maybe getting some selfish time at the end of the day.
I'm going to try to at least put one sentence into ADT while I'm there.
Stick a broom up my bum and I can
Read more »We need eggs. We need a few other things... but not so much as last week. I'm going to have to rouse Chaos because Mayhem doesn't want to be involved. But I still need help to get stuff so... whatevs.
Miss Chaos has to learn to do stuff and be reliable and this is a perfect window of opportunity for that.
It might be a pain in both our arses, but she really needs to learn. Our girl can't coast for the
Read more »I figure that, if I edit on the days between posting day, then I have extra time windows to manage that thing. So I'm recording a thing today and wrangling stuff tomorrow so I can post on Friday.
I'm also doing a thing on my rant blog and I think I shall rave and recommend (surprising nobody) K-Pop Demon Hunters. I have a lot of love to share about it. And some words to spend on the best character in the whole
Read more »I had to sit out parkrun because my ankle is still playing up. I may not be on my feet next week but I can hope. Thanks to that, I got the idea of gaining a camp stool to hold my bad foot up in relative comfort.
It's working gangbusters, by the way.
That, and some tabletop gaming took up a lot of my day. I don't mind. My social battery got a top-up and I am grateful.
Other business included getting
