Dear Diary

A 3871-post collection

Saturday, And a Cat!

We found and transported the errant feline! There are now four more people and a cat sharing my domicile. Yay.

We now have more fucking bread than we know what to do with. Adorable made sure we'd have plenty to tide us over the three-day baking process. So we have loaves all over the place.

I've put all of the purchased baked goods out in the open for easy predation consumption. My hope is that sandwiches help erode the supply there.

We need fridge space.

We have freezer space. For now. Until we fill it again :D

Today's agenda includes unfucking all the extra stuff that's now in the house. Somehow.

Story whenever inspiration lands. I'm feeling a little bit meh today. Might have to blob for a bit. BUT, our network nonsense is looking to be back online. There is hope for my prompt forum in the near future.

Wish me all the luck. I think I need it today.

Friday, Maybe This Time - and a Cat

Waif was scared off by noisy door yesterday. And there's evidence that she found, killed, and consumed a rat. Maybe she can teach my fiends a few things...

The big, awkward, hard-to-shift furniture is up here, in pieces, and everywhere related to "in the way". We will be consolidating our assorted nonsense when it's all up here.

That includes two households worth of cutlery, crockery, cookware, gadgetry, and accoutrements to sift through. Yay.

And I have comics to catalogue [later to sell]

Thursday... And a Cat (We Hope)

Heavy furniture delivered and placed, extra people settling in. There's just a couple of small issues:

  1. The cat - Waif - did not like the truck and bolted while it was there.
  2. Our chest freezer decided to die a couple of days ago.

There is a hope that Waif will come running for her people when the truck is no longer there. Then it's a question on keeping the little menace indoors until we get the greater catio patio accomplished.

The good

Wednesday, Bread and Truck Day

I got clearance to make bread. My lovelies are getting a truck to move the tricky bits, and this house is going to be CROWDED-crowded.

C-R-O-W-D-E-D.

But it is very good to get back to bread again.

The downside at the moment is the lack of bench space for the bread-making accessories. I foresee this being A Thing for continuing bread adventures.

We will figure things out. Eventually.

My hobby for the day is progressively putting moved food substances away. All the

Tuesday, Confounded PLNs

Here's my PLN:

  • Wait until the fam has shenanigans with the truck/pod and difficult furniture
  • Steal the car to go shopping and get supplies
  • The next day, I start bread

I even fed my starter because I 'knew' that it would be a while before I got the car.

Delivered my PLN to the Cule who then informed me that they've gone out of their way to give me car access today -_-

So the instant I'm done with my

Monday, Shenaniganery

The moving is intensifying. There has been mention of a truck happening at some point in the week. I may have to wait to shop until next week.

I am endeavouring to focus on today's tale, but I have friends chatting with me on Discord and my lovelies relaying shit into the house.

It's not looking good for story progress. I am DISTRACTED-distracted.

But there will be a daily tale.

Eventually.

Sunday, Cancellations and Shenanigans

Promptcast is cancelled until August. Circumstances beyond anyone's control. So theoretically, I have more time to myself. Or I would if the shenanigans didn't include four people and a cat. My aim today, at least in meatspace, is to arrange a section of the countertop for bread. I will have to move some things around, but moving things around is de rigeur these days.

Once I have space, I will seek clearance to start the bread process.

I'm pretty sure my bread

Saturday, Shifting Stuff

There shall be several trips with smaller stuff (and one person) over the passage of a few days. I still have no idea what's happening with moving the awkward stuff. No updates there.

I have fed the birds, the cats, and myself (yay). And helped out a friend with their writing.

The Promptcast is doing Booked For Friday, so I'm moderating over there. THEN I get on with the daily tale. If I'm not delayed by Other Stuff(tm).

I'm probably going

Friday, Moving by Pieces

Four people, one cat, and a very small car do not a fast house-moving experience make. The Big Move is commencing in a series of short hops. Today, boxes of stuff. Tomorrow, a person.

There's talk of renting a pod to transport the difficult stuff, but I have no idea if or when that is going to be a thing.

My lovelies are spending a lot of their time unfucking the place they're vacating now, as that's a smidgeon more urgent than

Thursday, In a Pickle

Somewhere in the vague vicinity of Caboolture, someone used a backhoe without checking for cables first. And that's why I'm writing using phone data.

Yes, I owe you a twofer, but I think I can be excused for not doing that until my proper compy is up and on the interwebs.

I have a new security blanket laptop, and working out the kinks shall be ninety percent of my aggravation today. Tomorrow? Who knows.

Onwards to whatever I can wrangle.

Tuesday, SHENANIGANS

My lovelies should be on their way. I'm all dressed up and ready to go on an epic quest for stuff and things. Which includes some asthma meds because breathing is good.

It's going to be an expensive week, and not just because of the meds. We need to stock up on this, that, the other, and mandatory mealworms for the Magpie Mafia.

They have Butcher Bird goons, now. Word has got out that we are soft touches. Now whenever I step

Monday, Bills and Anticipation

I have fed, in order: the cats, my starter, the birds, and myself. I have just now paid the bills. Yay.

Tomorrow is when my lovelies return to organise, move, and rearrange shit. It may also be a prelude to Moving Day.

But it's also definitely Shopping Day because the fam needs supplies. Yay.

In local matters, the Magpie Mafia have learned that my whistle means food. At least three of them come calling. On the other hand, word has got out

Sunday, Stream Stuff and Nonsense

I have a couple of hours before the Promptcast begins their stream. I did actually get a story in there but if there's a case of spillover, I'll be drawn on Monday. Huzzah.

Honestly, I'm lucky I got anything done for them at all.

Attempting to keep an eye on my email so I don't offend MeMum by missing her email because Mod Duties. I can hope and pray that I catch something before I get distracted.

...and the distractions are so

Saturday, A Slight Delay

Didn't mod the Promptcast's Creatives Interviews, but used it for mostly white noise whilst I saw an idea come to fruition that I had whilst I was in the midst of making coffee and breakfast. It's one of those inspiration particle incidents again. So I busted my hump to get that down and out to the crew before I did anything else.

Including my blog entry.

So I shall be rather delayed with today's tale.

The good news is that I'm feeling

Thursday, Moving Day RSN

Good news - I was able to get some scotch fillet steak to help adjust my iron levels.

Bad news - Miss Chaos found the steak I was planning to have for breakfast and helped herself.

So my day was off to a fantastic start with having to thaw a frozen steak. Whilst also feeding the cats, helping my lovelies sort out stuff from the spare room days after I wanted the help.

On the other hand, the spare room is clean
