Dear Diary

A 3566-post collection

Wednesday, Wordpress, Car Maintenance, and a Date

In one hour, allegedly, the nice ppl from Lube Mobile will turn up to service my car. Since it's no longer in warranty, this will be cheaper and take less time than going to Torque Ford. And that is why I am camped by the front door and listening for car noises.

This may or may not make me more effective at getting my offerings, but it will make the day a little more interesting.

The PLN, such as it is, goeth thusly:

  • Pay for car maintenance
  • Pay for license nonsense
  • Take in my meds
  • Shenanigans!

All while every chair made by the hands of humankind seem designed to create back problems.

Maybe if I hurry, it won't get terrible.

Tuesday, Patreon and Busy Bean

My Beloved has a lot of shenanigans tomorrow. So I shall be working by remote. I have a lot to share with my peeps on Patreon, today. It feels like I've bitten off more than I can chew.

I gotta do it so that I shall have less waiting for me to do. More gets done, less left to do. Theoretically.

There's still a huge pile, but I shall nibble it away in good time. I hope.

Doing what I can with

Monday, Shrink Day and Foundry

It's happened. I had someone compare my WIP to the Bible. As in, the Good Book is LIGHT READING compared to whatever the fuck I have going on.

I'm sure other writers have been told to tone it down in the same way.

And I am once more called out for torturing the boy.

Muahahahahaha...

I am proceeding apace with the summary of Beauties, the recording of ADT. I haven't touched Stencyl, last week so my messing around there before tomorrow will

Sunday, Day of Rest

Yesterday:

  1. Did Parkrun/brunch
  2. Got dressed up for a birthday party
  3. Worked at Adorable's place so I wouldn't get too deep into work at home and forget the party was on
  4. Went to the party
  5. Which went WAY late
  6. I did not get to bed until half-past 11 PM

So I had to cancel my streams.

My offerings are still going out unto you. I'm writing as I watch the Tale Foundry stream.

There's a prompt for the next week that I

Saturday, Parkrun, Democracy, and Social Shenanigans

We did the fitness thing this morning, and owing to stuff this afternoon, I am currently working on the mobile arrangement. We're wishing a friendo a merry birthmas [I think?] so we're going out for an evening of frivolity and fun.

Fortunately I was able to plan for this and, as the sole bean able to drive, arranged for myself and the spawn to have voted early. Now I have less concerns about whom I may be ferrying where. Yay.

I now

Friday, Unfuckening and extra PLNs

I took the kids early voting this morning. Mostly because I will be roaming all over the countryside on voting day. We did homemade democracy sausage thereafter. Cheap bread and cheap sausage ftw.

I have yet to clean the catio or feed my Starters and my ability to focus is at minimum. I'm going to start those important things before I get on the daily offerings.

I don't know if I will be able to do everything. I have socials tomorrow and

Thursday, Game Night and Cuddles

I have my Beloved for another evening, this week. I am making myself either one or many dinners with the slow cooker. I've got some pork tongues slowly stewing with the following:

  • Probably about a litre of cheap white vinegar [I measured all this with my heart]
  • About 2 tbsp powdered ginger
  • A pinch of whole peppercorns
  • A generous pinch of salt
  • 5 whole cloves
  • About 2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 2 granny smith apples, finely sliced
  • 2 litres of water

I had it

Wednesday, Patreon and Date Night

Beloved has therapy this morning, so I don't get to see her until this afternoon. I'm already dressed up fancy for the night.

IDK what we're doing since we're out of moneys. Quiet night in, mayhaps. But at least I look good for it.

It's been an expensive pay cycle, this time around. I feel guilty for not working harder to get my books ready for flicking at publishers. But I can only do so much at any given time.

I shall

Tuesday, Patreon and Sundry PLNs

I'm in the procrasti-nation this week. Just started working on the entry for the Foundry. I have NO idea where I'm going for the All Hallow's Read.

All going well, I get some quality time with Beloved tonight and tomorrow.

That's the highlight of the week, if I must be honest.

I have sore wrists this morning, so I shall be longer about my nonsense than usual.

Trying to finish up the Foundry entry before I get on with the rest of

Monday, Reads and Resumations

I am going to make myself summarise Beauties and the Beastly this week. Get it done. Then I can work on the 2K, 1K and 0.5K-word summaries And then the 500, 200, and 100-word blurbs.

And then I get on with the next one. Ugh.

I'm recording more episodes for Adorable, doing the mandatory offerings, and trying to have a little fun with other stuff.

If I'm up on the pulse of the way things go, I shall be collecting Beloved

Sunday, Streams and Stuff(tm)

We didn't have enough to play VTTRPG this morning, so Fiver and I played BG3 together. Much hilarity abounded.

The PLN today is the usual PLN for every day of the like. Do the tale, take a nap, finish up the rest of the nonsense.

I'm very much looking forward to the nap, if I must be honest.

For the rest of the day? Farting about and chilling. The cake is gone so I'm off the sugar once more. Behaving myself.

I

Saturday, Parkrun and Further PLNs

More of the usual offerings, more of the usual work. Next parkrun, I am going to set my pace and let Miss Chaos try to keep up. She's due.

Little fink was running past me every chance she got. So next week, I see what she can really do. Mua-hahaha.

I'm almost finished doing the chapter summary of Beauties and the Beastly, which means that I'm going to be working on the 2K, 1K, and 500-word summaries thereafter.

Yeeps.

I'm going to

Friday, PLNs to be Busy

Cake for breakfast is one of the better perks of a birthday week. The cake is running out and should be out of temptation range very soon to now.

I'm not weighing myself until after the cake is gone. That just makes sense.

I'm going to do all the other things I normally do and repeat trying to make myself doing all the things I despise doing.

AKA: Summarising my dang books.

I'm going to save Rael for a rewrite. I got

Thursday, Maybe Game Night and CAKE!

I had cake for breakfast. If there's any left by then, I shall likely have cake with/for lunch and dinner as well.

It's a nice cake.

The PLN today is more offerings, a night with VTTRPG and the rainbow crew. And snuggles and reads with Beloved.

I now have two fanfics in progress because firkin brain worms have me. My Patrons get to see those first.

Who knows? I might find time to finish up my project for All Hallows' Read.

Wednesday, Patreon, Birthday, and Shopping

I has moneys! I have to restock the house! I have a Bifdy party for my good self including the whole fam.

I am taking the kids to Outback and meeting Beloved and Adorable there for indulgent meal plus cake.

This afternoon, I take Mayhem shopping for groceries. So this morning, I focus on the offerings. Yay.

Good news with Stencyl, I got the enemy ships to move. Bad news, they're moving down the screen instead of left or right.

I'll have
