Monday, Assorted Shenanigannery

We have a Plan, not a PLN. So that's something. The Plan, as I understand it, is to clear out the garage and turn it into the new computer room so that the extant computer room is free to become a bedroom again.

There's a PLN to turn the patio into a catio extension so that NannaDorbs will have somewhere to smoke. FTR she rolls her own so I should have few issues with the tobacco.

Yesterday, Beloved and Adorable rolled in, unfucked two entire rooms to as-new condition, and helped feed some yard debris to the brazier I bought off the lawn guy.

I suspect semi-regular brazier nights might yet be a thing.

But of course chaos is dogging our every step. Adorable has carpet people arriving at her current domicile and she has to be there for that, so I am carless until Adorable and Beloved return with it.

I may yet have time to moderate the Promptcast this morning. We had a lot of submissions over there, so there's an overflow session today.

So I am locking in to write whatever I can as fast as I can because I have ZERO idea as to how much time is mine for the rest of the day. Huzzah.

Yoiks, as the duck said, and away.

Thursday, Progress PLNs

I have my iPad by my compy in case the urge to doodle overtakes me. I have bread dough in progress so that the trickiest day does not fall on Interview Day.

I have an online Interview with the Promptcast people in TWO DAYS and I have no idea how to sell tf out of that.

I am planning to post something today, tomorrow, and the day of. I don't know what the fuck it is, yet, but I will post something.

Wednesday, Rant and Other Shenanigans

Which also include the Archive write-ins. I can at least help edit things there. I have been procrastinating too long on the photobashing. So I'm going to make my friends force me to do the thing.

Step One: Unearth assets
Step Two: Launch Krita
Step Three: Insert assets

I can do that much, I'm sure. It won't take that long. It's getting started that's the bugger.

Same issue with getting started on today's offerings. Helping people in the write-in is way more

Tuesday, Patreon, Promptcast, and Punchdrunk

What has two thumbs and got another rejection? This nerd. I might finish up the major edits for Destined Darkness before I throw it at anyone again. It needs a little buffing.

Today's focus, after I post on Patreon, is getting a majority of the story for the Promptcast done and dusted.

Following that, the day's tale.

THEN I do some jiggery-pokery on the next stage of the Ingram move. I can get one short done and then commence the rollout procedure

Monday, Group Activity, Shopping, and Preparations

The Archive didn't have a lot of leftover stories this week. Apparently nine got read on stream. So that makes a total of twelve people writing for the Archive prompts. Kind of ominous for the Archive's future IMHO.

I'm trying not to let that get under my skin. I dunno how well that's working.

On my agenda:

  • Shopping
  • Cheap undercut trim
  • 10 more chapters transferred from ePub to newer version of First Anthology [It's how I stay sane doing this
  • One more

Monday, Shopping, Bills, Duties and Deeds

There's the backup reads, bills to pay, a Leyland's tour and assignments to fill. All to make the Promptcast a cooler place to be. It's nice to belong to a writer's group that's working on improvements with the community.

I also have to record a video of the issue with my Trezor for the peeps in charge of the thing. Fingers crossed, I have a way to get my account back online. If not, I'll figure out a way to get my

Wednesday, SHENANIGANS!

So here's the brief rundown of today's schedule:

  • Finish breakfast
  • Return sleep study machine to sleep study people
  • Chemist Warehouse
  • Costco
  • Woolies
  • Whatever writing I can manage before...
  • Shrink time!
  • THEN I can settle down to posting everything y'all expect from me.

Whee fun.

I should be able to wrangle it all. I can say that I will at least try.

Fingers crossed that I can get it all and have a chance to chill at the end of the day.

Tuesday, Crammed For Time

What has two thumbs and got told off for yesterday's story? ::points thumbs at self:: This nerd. Apparently, I was mocking Jesus.

What I said about Jesus: He was "a wise teacher who worked miracles like a divinity. He explained the laws of the faith he followed and gave simpler rules for the people to follow. Chief among those were: don't hoard wealth, and be kind to each other."

I think that's accurate.

The rest of the story is about the followers

Monday, Convoluted PLNs

I got another shopping trip in my schedule today, and a little extra running-around money from Beloved.

It's up in the air as to whether that money will be spent on fuel or equipment. Both are needed. It depends on where I stop first and what's needed most.

Story shall be happening after I get back from that thing. And I shall make a concerted effort to write the Promptcast thing before the day turns.

Wish me luck because I am already

Tuesday: Vampires, Shopping, and Patreon

I checked the paperwork shortly after leaving the bedchamber this morning, and nothing indicates a fasting test or not. So I'm writing hungy this AM. As soon as I'm done with the vampires, I am GETTING some foods. Official cheat day. I declare it thus.

I'm also doing the Leyland's Tour, allegedly to save petrol. So I will likely be freaking tired when I come back home.

There shall at least be story, but I have no idea when that's happening.

Time,

Wednesday, Belated Shopping Trip

I have three locations to visit, this week. I'll be shopping with a calculator to make sure I remain under or at budget.

Not helped by the fact that we need to get a printer in order to complete Miss Chaos' red tape completed. At least I have some savings to take care of that part. Enough to cover it and a bit more.

[Not much of a bit, but a bit nonetheless]

I keep forgetting it's Wednesday and not Monday, which

Tuesday, Physio, Bread, and Locking in

I finished a chapter! Huzzah!

Ten of those fuckers remain before I can take an extended holiday from writing on a professional basis. Well. At least writing an entire freaking BOOK.

I need a holiday for sure.

What I really need is for the stress to go away so I can firkin RELAX for a gorram change.

I have physio today. I have bread in progress and the kids on call for helping with that. I have a little less than 2K

Monday, Shopping Day

...as well as everything else.

We need eggs and a whole FUCKBUNCH of other stuff, but I had a little set aside that should cover it. Theoretically, all will be well and I know the cheapest source of whatever so I'm technically okay.

Beloved and Adorable are still looking for gainful employ and I need to see what I can do for Miss Chaos about restoring her MyGov account so she can get Disability. Last I checked on Mayhem, he was Pending

Thursday, Free-roaming Nerd

I have bread in progress and MeMum needs tech support. Fun times ahead.

Here's the PLN:

  • Get myself presentable for public appearance [done]
  • Feed the cats
  • Prep the bread process for the kids to take over
  • Wake kids and notify them of same
  • Make sure I have everything I need
  • Ice my ankle
  • Leave for MeMum's

I shall make certain that all is in place including a full tank.

As is always the case when I'm on an extended Leyland's Tour, there
