Wednesday, Rant and Other Things

I am definitely doing a "Reasons To Love" this week. A total enthusiasm about season one is a bit overdue.

I am attempting to operate without the ankle brace, today. I have it nearby, just in case.

I've finished another five chapters of ADT so there's more recordings in my future. There's going to be one hell of an upload for Adorable when I have that avenue to share those things.

The longer it takes to stabilise that avenue of communication, the more backlog piles up. Fun times.

I'm also recording a story in advance so I can edit tomorrow and post on Friday. Speaking of, I also need to post today's videos.

Let's get on with getting on.

Tuesday, Furthering PLNs

Mayhem now has a foundation in using Cursor, and a week to FAFO with it before he says yae or nae to the traineeship. Okay. Would have been nice to know that before this morning.

I have a parcel to pick up so I might as well go on a supply run while I'm out. In socks and sandals because my shoes are too heavy for my delicate ankle. I'm in my comfy dowdy clothes because I could not give less of

Monday, A Small Hope

It's been a disorganised morning. Starting with Mayhem notifying me that he has a takeoff time to get to the nearest train station. Nice of Beloved or Adorable to give me a warning about that.

Anyway, Mayhem is offski for his traineeship orientation tour, all to see if he's amenable with the traineeship at all. If not, I have NO idea what's going on with him and his future.

Fingers crossed, my lad gets a career.

If not... well. There's a Woolies

Sunday, Thinking About Nightmares

I finally had a decent idea for the prompt-after-next-prompt, "Nightmares For Sale". So I'm working on that whilst doing my daily offerings.

I should have recorded yesterday so I could edit today and post tomorrow. Nevermind. I shall record today and hope for the best.

After the Archive is done with reading stories from the group.

Looks like I made bread just in time. I'll have to advance the schedule a little bit. Thursday seems decent enough to start.

I shall see,

Saturday, Bread Day

I got a loaf in the incubator, I got a whole bunch of nonsense going on. I gotta put bread in the ovens1 at about the same time I gotta ice my ankle. Fun times.

I will be enlisting whomsoever happens to be convenient to assist with that level of nonsense.

I have my offerings to make as well as bread to bake. And I will find a way to juggle that and the damn ankle. And I will be very

Friday, Physio Day

My ankle is not letting me walk very much, very far today. To add to the fun, we need to make bread. Gonna need lots of help from the spawn today.

I'm not setting up my daily doses until after I'm back from the physio. That nonsense takes a LOT more time than the time I have before I take off for the physio.

So I shall be focussing on other offerings before I get back from the jackhammering.

I need every

Thursday, Shopping Day and Physio Tomorrow

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

Wednesday, Rant Due and Video Things

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

Tuesday, Patreon and Extra Owwies

Yesterday, I could barely walk because of the ankle. My opposite knee doesn't like supporting the extra weight, so I've been wearing a knee brace there for at least four days.

After yesterday, my achey shoulders have been worse because supporting my weight with the cane has set the knots there into a worse tangle.

As I said to MeMum, I need a big burly bloke to wring the knots out of my shoulders with a bucket of Deep Heat.

I have

Monday, Owwies

As I type, I now have bracers on three of my joints. One on the ankle, one on my opposite knee, and one on my right hand. My left wrist is threatening to act up as well.

Mayhem can't go to work because the family resposible for taking him on the last leg have the dreaded Rona. Prayers for wellbeing appreciated

Today, walking is painful. I'm getting Chaos to help gather my daily doses.

This might be painful.

The strategy - One

Sunday, No Streams

Two hours up, ten minutes "icing" my ankle. Lather, rinse, and repeat. For as long as I can stand doing that cycle.

I've taken loads of time to do my minimal offering output. I don't know if I can move things along quicker. I can try but...

The ankle is distracting even when I'm at my debatably most comfortable.

Add to the interesting times the fact that I'm lacking good quality time with the QPP and feeling a little lonely because of

Saturday, No Parkrun Because Ankle

I have a maximum of two hours to do things before I have to spend twenty minutes with a cold pack on and under my ankle. Plus I have bread going on. I thought one batch would be enough, and it looks like the kids are back to predating upon it.

Mayhem's off to work this Monday, so I may have to get Chaos to contribute to the bread supply.

I have NO idea how I'm going to deal around shopping time.

Friday, New Routine and Bread

On the advice of my physiotherapist, I have a new way of working. It's a cycle of about two hours and twenty minutes. Two hours sitting up and doing things, twenty minutes with a cold pack juggled around the ankle. Ten minutes under, ten minutes over.

It's... workable.

I have enlisted Mayhem to help me bothering the bread. Just in case I have other bullshit going on.

The starter's incubating, I measured everything but the salt [my bad] and all is more

Thursday, Physio and Catching Up

Getting all my nonsense for the household cost me money and energy. So I'll be catching up on my videos at some point today.

I take off at a quarter to ten so I have a hope of writing some ADT before I get on with the rest of my daily nonsense.

I honestly don't know how I'm going to deal because my right heel has started stinging for no apparent reason. Fun times.

Adorable has a headcold, Mayhem has signed up

Wednesday, Rant and Shopping Due

My USB power hub expired last night. Fun times. Now I have one of those added to my list. I have to stop off in several more places than originally planned.

I have my knees and ankle re-enforced, yay, but as I was getting my doses together, my right hip decided to add to the fun times.

...yay...

My PLNs include fortifying my funds with a visit to the local Cash-4-Cans place. Just to have that little bit extra. If we need
