Wednesday, Rant Due and Other PLNs

At least I remembered my pills with my coffee today. So there's that. The downside is I had the little container full of pills with me for at least a firkin week. Forgotten every single time I was out and needed to take them. Yay.

I need to get back onto the anxiety meds I've run out of. They're non-prescription and specialised so it's a bit of a slog to get them seen to. And, of course, ex$pen$ive.

And speaking of getting things seen to... I need to ring Evergreen and book in Monday for the Next Available Day Home. I need to ring the council since they haven't emailed me back about the cats. And I need to go shopping at some point for a few little bits and bobs. Small things, but needed things all the same.

I also need to make certain I'm legal to look at firearms. Which means searching the mail for the relevant paperwork. Hooray.

And I also need to dig out my new HCF card from the mail pile as well.

I am already a busy bean and I'm not even home from Mayhem's work run yet. It's stuff like this that peaks my anxiety and drains all my action economy before I even begin the day. Just knowing what needs must be done by me and me alone tends to evaporate my soul.

I'll deal with it the same way I deal with everything. One baby step at a time, and hanging desperately on until I get to a point where I can firkin RELAX.

Tomorrow, I'm dealing with Miss Chaos' NDIS nonsense. Friday, I'm getting my Problem Foot seen to. Saturday's parkrun and Sunday's the game night... and on Monday, I'm dealing with a problem involving the sullage system and neighbours. If I can get hold of the sullage people and book it in that early.

I shall attempt, in the middle of all of this noise, to be a force for positivity and joy on the internet. For all the good it's doing me. (grumble grumble)

Let's start with telling a story.

Thursday, First Treatment, Shopping, and Time Lack of Management

I got my feet sonic'd and one foot lasered. It didn't hurt until after I was done shopping at Costco.

The sonic sounds like my nebuliser and feels like a particularly vigorous massage machine. I almost fell asleep. Almost. I almost drooled. Almost.

The laser, made to "warm up" the muscles and tendons responsible, was surprisingly cold. I didn't feel any burning sensations until I was well into my shopping.

And in a small handful of minutes, I'll be offski to fetch

Monday, the Shenanigans Continueth

Oh boy howdy do I like to pile on the horseshit. Because scheduling stuff, I'm attempting to do my daily offerings whilst roaming. Driving Mayhem to work and turning around when home or almost home is a frustration. It's actually more sensible to hang out at his destination until he's good to go home. Bit of a pain in the butt, but not as painful as spending three to four hours constantly on the road.

Plus I have shopping that needs must

Tuesday, Errands Done and Further PLNs

I dropped Beloved off just in time for the train. I finished tormenting my feet, then hauled my butt all over everywhere to get a few necessities. Including more meds for my asthma. Huzzah.

I even have a lot of good feedback about Pseuducku.

Now I have to find and devote some time to drawing the missing buttons and, perhaps, working on some interactivity. One baby step at a time.

I am going to put my offerings out there, including the Patreon

Tuesday, Free? Time?

I got shopping to do, Patreon posts to make [I forgot again], offerings to create and some chapters to record. I also have some mock-ups to create and test.

I also have to re-size my prototype since I've made a mistake regarding the screenie, all so I can create a mock-up for the progress part of my Pseuducku logs.

Kind of feeling a little lucky that Beloved's in crunch time and I have the hours to spare.

I have a knack of

Thursday, Further Disorganisation

So here's my day so far:

  • Wake late and commence the self-care regimes
  • Foot torture and commence stretches
  • Drive Mayhem to work
  • Drive home
  • Attempt to complete stretches
  • Phone call from Mayhem
  • Drive there and back again to fetch Mayhem
  • Complete stretches and half a chapter.

and now it's 2 in the afternoon and I am just now getting to today's blog entry. Offerings very soon, I should hope.

I also hope to figure out buttons in Gamemaker, but I'll probably end

Monday, Errands Ahoy

I don't have a story to share with the Archive today, and I need to get stuff and things at place. So therefore I am headed out to get all the things we need.

Might be a pinch, this week. Because I had to pay for my hair, because Beloved got an e-bike for the work commute. A necessary expenditure, true. But also a hecking expenditure. A needful dent in the wall of money between us and a true disaster.

I like

Thursday, Late Start and Flexible Times

The good news is that Mayhem may have flexible hours at work henceforth. The bad news is that I have to hang around for a bit lest I have to turn around when halfway home.

The good news is that I get some work done and a breakfast whilst out and about. The bad news is that I start later and work slower as a direct result.

I forgot to do the piece, yesterday. I can hope to do something today. At

Monday, Busy Bean

So here's my day, starting with last night, because sleep issues.

  • Needed white noise to fall asleep, it was super-effective

  • Detect conflict, shit a brick
  • Get Mayhem going for an early drop-off
  • Long drive #1
  • Head on down to inner Brisbane for special doc's
  • Long drive #2
  • Have to drive around thrice to get a park

Thursday, Really Running Late

I was up at 4AM to do bread. Which is now baked and on the cooling rack. Yesterday's loaf is safe in its paper wrapping and tomorrow, I wrap the second one. Yay.

Pretty much immediately after that, I had to ferry Mayhem off to work. And after that, I went on a series of fetch quests. I got the remote for MeMum, a blackhead tool, a mouthguard to protect my teeth from grinding in my sleep, and some tech tools for

Wednesday, Rant Day and Crowded Schedule Once More

It's just after Midday and I just got back from my shenanigans today. Mayhem's over his tummy bug and hoping he doesn't get sick again. Lad used to be proud of his ability to not get sick, but it turns out that it was mostly due to not leaving his room too often.

Lad needs to get his flu shots and look after himself a little better. BUT he also needs to come to that realisation himself because he just won't firkin

Friday, Preparations Ahoy

This afternoon, after I have Mayhem back home, I am packing my old rig in the boot. All the better to deliver to Adorable on the following morrow.

Tomorrow: I go on parkrun, enjoy brunch with the fam, deliver the tower, and then make my offerings before catching a slep. And THEN I might just be doing a D&D sesh as the DM in the wee smol NEXT morning.

Wheeeee...

Mayhem has PLNs to redecorate his entire dang room to

Thursday, Shopping Done, Light Expectations

Squeezing tasks out of minutes to spare included a brief Leyland's Tour for household supplies. I am finally back and about to make my offerings.

I have a Starter to feed, the harvest of that to bake, a treato to ingest, and all my daily offerings as well as attempting to make a thing firkin work.

Yes, I have come full circle with attempting to make Stenycyl work again :P

I will hit that thing with a hammer, so help me.

Wednesday, Rant Day & Shopping PLNs

I think I shall give a shout-out to Girl Genius today. Tomorrow, I go get supplies after I drop off Mayhem and hope for enough time to chill thereafter.

Results may be negligible.

I'm going to go jiggery-pokering around in Stencyl later today if I have the time. If not, I'll check another month of tags on the app-to-be.

That's usually pretty fast.

Mayhem's having his doubts about his job. I told him he should at least give himself a chance to

Tuesday, Fewer Hours

Mayhem had a later start this morning and an earlier finish this arvo. I have less hours for my assorted shenanigans today. Including making sure Owlbear works on OBS with everything else.

I have yet to work out KittyCam for my writing stream, and using the intro timer as well.

Baby steps.

Today, my priority is the offerings first, then a little screwing around in Stencyl. Just to have my chart picked in the new colour. If I ragequit Stencyl before the
