Dear Diary

A 3615-post collection

December!

I have gifts to pln. A feast to pln. A house to prepare for the yule.

And all the usual nonse.

And this during the time of year that I'm least inclined to go out and spend money.

I have secured duck and prawns, but we can't feast off of just that. I need a few li'l extras. Veggies will have to wait until practically Christmas Eve. Drinks... I can stock those up.

Gifts...

Eesh.

Everyone in my family is hard to buy for. Beloved can get whatever they like whenever they like. Mayhem is big into games, but has plenty. Chaos would rather watch YouTube. Capt. S definitely has enough stuff.

I do not know what to get anyone, this year. It might be vouchers and cards all around.

I don't know.

Maybe I'll figure something out later on.

Planning for fun

I have been writing some funny fucking stuff, but it's not ready for publication, yet. I have some scenes of chaos to do.

And probably a lot more chaos, yet.

I'm having huge amounts of fun. Listening to the Adventure Zone and powering through the ad breaks so I can listen to more Adventure zone and get inspiration points for the five fucking stories I have going with NO END IN SIGHT...

Yeah, I fell of the self-limit wagon again. Stop looking

Definitely holiday mode

I had a lazy morning that started at half-past two in the morning. And though I published a couple of fanficcery chapters, I still got in some snoozing.

And since I plan to take Mayhem to the post office to apply for a Tax File Number, I should get going real soon now.

So yeah. Once again, late fiction. But there's more on the shiny elf stories over on AO3.

Enjoy.

I may be gone for some time.

Friday!

The second-last Friday of the school year. Mayhem has his traineeship, and Chaos has one more week of a schedule before it all gets disorganised.

Mayhem can beg off going to Coominya, this year. He has work to get to every week. And I don't even know if Capt. S wants company this year.

I've just now shared a whole bunch of my fanfic links with Tumblr so nobody misses out on the pain joy I have to share.

And I've included

Whoops

I may have entered Holiday Mode. In which I space out for longer than usual and take a relaxed attitude towards everything I do. Everything still gets done, no mistake.

It's just that it's way more spaced out than usual.

Who knew I was attuned to the school schedule this hard?

It's nearly seven and I haven't done shit for getting my work done. Mayhem has a Webinar tonight and a job tomorrow. It's going to be fun keeping track of those.

Disorganised!

Mayhem is done with school. Chaos is not. Mayhem still has the traineeship going on.

This is going to be fun.

I still have to be organised enough to get one little darling ready to take on the day whilst simultaneously getting the other little darling to do some minimums around the house.

All whilst also doing my day job, doing the yule shopping, organising the yule feast, and otherwise having some fun now.

I have already ordered the duck. I need

Little finicky details

Mayhem has another day at "Summer School" to finish off the things and get his book list.

I have a dental appointment today, so that's going to stress me out some. I fully plan to bring my novel-in-progress with for the office wait.

Lord knows how I'm going to pay for it, tho.

We've not had a lot of free cash, lately. Which is worrisome for me, because having enough money to do things is kind of important.

And yule is coming

Getting complicated

Today is Mayhem's last day at school. It's also Chaos' second-last week.

HOWEVER...

The Traineeship in Banyo continueth onwards. And that includes Thursday nights doing a webinar, and Fridays off in Banyo working on the thing.

So yeah, my weeks are about to get complex.

And I think I may have contracted MeMum's wog, so I'm making myself a small batch of ginger garlic chicken soup and mainlining that. OR it could be an overdose of dust and I'm overreacting, but best

Tech support, lost prompts, and other chaotic things.

One of my prompts has gone missing, and I swear I didn't touch it.

When I'm done with today, I'm going to add procedure into the pinned notice in my prompts arena. But it's going to be "if your prompt vanishes, I didn't do that. Just repost that mofo and be cool."

As soon as I'm done with today's Instant, I am rounding up the family and getting them all prepped to go see MeMum for a birthday visit. Which includes yarn

Democracy Franger

There's elections happening in our neck of the woods, and Beloved and I are about to stick our opinions onto pieces of paper.

Notes for confused Americans:

  • Voting is mandatory in Australia
  • You actually get fined for not voting
  • You are actually allowed to not vote for anyone [draw a dick on the ballot, pen a witty limerick across the sheet, whatever] but you still have to turn up and do it
  • Democracy comes with an optional fried snag in a slice

Broken trust. Again

Once again, I put my trust in my family and once again I got stabbed in the fucking back.

I trusted my son to put the fresh groceries away. He left them out to go fucking rotten.

I trusted my Beloved to help me out. They denied me to my face. Even when I said it was important.

So yeah. I'm salty as fuck today.

I need hugs and love, but I can't trust anyone to see to that.

Fuck today.

Interesting Development

Today is Mayhem's last day of school. Unless he hasn't finished his assignments and assessments. In which case, he's going back for what they call Summer School.

I really hope he's done with everything, though. It would be nice to not have to ride his arse for a change.

And it will be nice to not have to fret about half my little darlings for a bit.

And I have a Yule Feast to plan. I know I want to do Roast

Best Laid Plans Gone Agley

The nice lady who usually comes and gets my arse in gear with the cleaning has Lurgi and won't be around. Which means I have to get my arse in gear without her.

Not fun.

I have to find some nice yarn for MeMum when the local Big W doesn't stock her brand any more. And I'll be doing tech support this weekend. Perhaps with a family visit on the side.

The ginger garlic chicken soup frelling works to keep the Lurgi

Some Fun Now

I finished one epic and posted it. Yay.

I started posting another epic as a series before I'm anywhere near done. Yay... ish?

And now I'm working on a one-shot that's a companion to a different one-shot I made earlier. And might even be done soon. If I can convince myself to stay away from the other firkin epics.

Of course, working on them ensures that they get finished... and I might whittle down to one epic in the fullness of time.

Here we go again

Another week of procrastination convincing myself to do that thing that scares me. I only have one thing left, and that's continuing on with the agent hunt.

I have to work through all of them before I can demand my money back.

And I don't get there if I don't try.

I have a scratchy throat, this morning. Which means that I might just be catching a Lurgi. Fun. Not looking forward to feeling horrible and drinking my own weight in ginger
