The instant I finish this blog entry, I'm cleaning the catio. Now fully functional and accessible to the household felines. Then I move onwards with the daily offerings and an attempt to do a thing.
And already my plns have crashed because a parcel has arrived with subscription meds. Yay. So now my plns include putting on clothes, going place, and fetching thing.
Yay.
I'll still have a go at kicking something. Briefly.
Offerings very soon.
But first... the meatspace stuff.
For one glorious hour, I thought I had a solution to the Zrythm thing. The potential fix didn't work and I don't know what I did to make it not work. I mean, apart from having the Fickle Finger when it comes to tech.
I have faith that it will get unriddled in good time.
I have a shrink appointment, and physio happening today. At least I only have the minimal offerings to fret about today.
And I got out all the

I'm collating chapters for Book 5 one folder at a time and I'll be posting my owed Patreon content very, very soon.
The PLN for to day is do a little bit of one thing, work on another, then go back to the thing. Until the thing is done. Until all my things are
Read more »I owe some stuff to Patreon. I owe some offerings to y'all today. I should be recording five more chapters and that should be going up on Patreon too. I should be focussing on all of that but the allure of relax time is calling me.
I can resist. I hope.
On the plus side, Mum has her seasonal chocolate and a half-dozen eggs, a fix to her tech, and refreshes supplies. Yay.
I have no idea what I'm going to doodle
Read more »First week of not "working" during the weekend. This, in my case, means not working on the novel or any of my side projects for two days. Which, in turn, means encouraging myself to get back on to doing the thing. IF I can focus on doing half a chapter a day through the week, I can plausibly write up to two and a half chapters a week.
Which is likely to fall over tomorrow, because Mission to MeMum's. We'll see how
Read more »I'm planning to get to sleep at 5PM today, all so I can be awake at the right time to run the VTTRPG. My keyboard is behaving itself again, but yesterday was entirely terrifying.
I will be keeping all beverage containers out of accidental knocking-down distance. Religeously.
One scare is PLENTY.
I'm listening to AMothintheArchive on Twitch as they go through some entries from last week. I know what the prompt should be for next week, but there's always room for a
Read more »Parkrun was a huge success for me. I repeated my experiment of walking without my cane to the halfway point, and then walking with support on the way back. I now have confirmation of the end of Volume Five of ADT so now all I need to do is fill in all the chapters between where I am and the two chapters I wrote for the very, very end.
Seventy-four chapters to go.
Meanwhile, I spilled a teeny tiny drop of beverage
Read more »I cannot comprehend the extant set of instructions for getting new instruments into Zrythm. I'm going to try some video tutorials and see how I go.
If it gets incredibly desperate, I'll sign on to the Discord and find someone who knows this shit to help.
I feel like a true thickie, trying to do all these things and failing at it.
On the other hand, I am teaching myself how to art all over again. With constant practice, I will get
Read more »I just wrote and published yesterday's Weird Writer Wednesday. Just so I can keep the feed and reputation going. It's still Wednesday somewhere.
I'm using that justification and nobody can stop me.
Today, my PLNs are to figure out how to import instruments into Zrythm and try doing that. So the daily doodle will likely be a diary cartoon. I can do those in less than a minute and the Zrythm-related stress will be enough.
I tried figuring out figure drawing yesterday
Read more »I am spending this morning going through my archives for my most popular stories. All so I can read them to TubeTube at some point. My metric? Anything with 100 or more likes gets into the system.
There's more popular stories than I thought.
I have five years to sift through. That's going to be... interesting.
I'm still freaking out over it a little bit.
I can do this though. I know I can do this. Figuring out how to add video
Read more »I just finished the run-around for stuff and things. Overspent a little, but I won't need that much next week. I hope.
Or it could be the cost of living creeping slowly upwards. I hope not.
I have Patreon stuff to post, offerings to create, perhaps some time devoted to either (a) synopses or (b) Picking out flash fictions to read for the TubeTube shorts.
Best to get on with getting on with that.
Read more »The backup reads are going on, and I need to figure out various B-roll capture methods. Then figuring out what shorts I'm going to be reading for my PLN'd TubeTube shorts.
I can do this. I am going to do this.
The audio recording might have to be set aside for a time in which I can exile Chaos. Her zoomies and audio don't mix well for production values.
I will be using some time to figure out what I'm reading. I
Read more »So here's my day:
Beloved and Adorable are unfucking servers, today. In order to get the Catio similarly unfucked, my mission tomorrow is to go forth, abduct Beloved, and haul her back to do the thing.
Tomorrow... all being well and sincerely unfucked... I also get material things unfucked over here. Yay.
Finally, the kitties can wander to the catio and enjoy the fresher air and the glimpses of the birds. And use the litter tray in a less constrained atmosphere.
My offerings are due and

This morning, after cats, self-maintenance, and foot stretchies, I started braiding jute twine for my new cane cord. I have figured out that I can leave it off my cane until it's nearly done.
I'm also reasonably sure I can braid the entire thing instead of braiding it partway and then making a thicker cord out of the extant cord. I know
