I have almost finished the Cat Game(tm) on stream. I might be playing Minecraft with some of my international nerds the next week.
For today, though, I have the writing streams. Thereafter to nap and do some small things towards my goals.
As is expected of Long Monday.
I might finish something, but... I dunno.
We shall see.
Tale Foundry has delayed to another day, so I'm filling in time until Stream O'Clock. Which means I might have time to resume some of my bullshit getting the entry done before the prompt is announced.
None of the folks who can share a game are able to play with me, so I shall be streaming more of the Cat Game. Yay.
The usual stuff will continue after I have a look at the poll on Tale Foundry's Patreon. The good news
Read more »The Gayening has commenced. We have some rainbow flag bunting strung up near the front door. Very tasteful. Almost discrete. Only those prone to being offended could take offense at it.
In the acquisition of such, I missed out on Catio cleaning and the Starter feeding. I will get on with that after the story is posted.
After the Catio and Bikkie stuff, I shall get on with summaries, chapter separation, chamber dressing, and fic tagging. Yay.
I'm getting closer and closer
Read more »Beloved was out later than I was awake, last night. Visits to relatives post-funeral, sorting things out, I will hear about it when she wakes up.
Today's her day at home so we may get some stuff done in house. Which will include the usual Catio cleanse. I shall attempt to get a dishwash underway as well.
I am attempting a day without coffee, since the extra cuppa pre-game didn't do very much for me. I'll see how far that goes.
So
Read more »Today's the day where I don't have output or sleep to worry about. I might have energy in the afternoon. Maybe.
Or maybe I'll still run out of battery because I have been off the ashwagandha for a week.
It's in the post.
I shall take some time for myself today and consider it well-earned.
I do indeed need it.
OR I might spend some more time on A Devil's Tale. Or minecraft. As you do.
I still have the usual stuff
Read more »I am still dedicated to tagging stories for the app, and that takes some time. I have NO idea what I'm writing for Wordpress today, so it might be another installment of the fanficcy version of A Devil's Tale.
Or I might have to go on another rant about all the stuff I have to deal with.
But at least Jolie has an appointment about her teeth. Also on the good side, Beloved and I are reforging intimacy together now that things
Read more »I'm running out of stuff to share because I am devoting my time to other things.
The other things:
Each of these takes more effort than you might think. Lots of mental effort, reading, and in some cases, jiggery-pokery.
At some point between those tasks, I shall be booking Jolie in for her
Read more »Something in the living room is humming, the shelf for my record player is still in its wrapping, there's loads to do to make sure Capt. S' old place is orderly for the next step, MUM is still unfucking and hoping it doesn't flood again.
Beloved has taken a well-earned day out with friendos [found a VERY nice jacket with a VERY heinous price tag :P And didn't get it. Whew] and may also be pretty much wrecked for later this morning.
Read more »Beloved and I have a mutual way to monitor our spending, so that's a step on the long road towards fiscal stability.
My other steps are taking longer.
Like - getting books ready for publishers. And making my firkin APP ready for shipping out to the app stores. And individuating chapters for Mum's ease of access and thereby editorial input.
Which will be attacked in fits and bits at a little at a time. My PLN goes:
We have bade a final farewell to Capt. S yesterday. Thanks to that and some close calls on the road; I am frayed, worn out, and feeling very much like a sad lump of blob that's washed up on the tide-mark of life.
Having a night of rest that was a loose clump of intermittent naps did not help this. At all.
I know that I still have to clean the catio, feed my Starters, and manage the Bikkie. But what I

I expect it to be very full. And very tearful.
Everything and (I hope) everyone is prepared for the big scrum to have things ready at the place and on time. Including ourselves.
Saturday will likely be a twofer PLUS whatever might be in store for Fic of the Week. I fully expect my throat to burn out partway
Read more »Things are lined up. Things are underway. If I'm going on a Leyland's tour with Beloved, I may be incommunicado for most of the day.
I'm back on the Keto wagon, and so far I have the fasting part down.
Hopefully I get onto proper food real soon.
It's a Holding Pattern Day and further bulletins may be happening later on.
At least I always have a story.
Read more »I have made the video to my satisfaction, hooray. Now I need to get that onto a thumb drive. And the music onto a different thumb drive. Because technical nonsense.
And then chase down a little something-something for the ceremony. We're telling everyone on the day what that is. No spoilers.
Thumb drives still wig me out a little bit. In this era of clouds and remembering disk drives, it's still ridiculous that you can store a novel or three on something
Read more »I'm fifty years old, today. I am doing small celebratory things and being as ridiculous as I want to be because it's my birthday.
I have a set of shelves from Beloved for my birthday. I know this sounds ridiculously mundane, but those shelves shall house my record player and soon-to-be new sound system and I will be able to play my vinyl again! Huzzah!
I've been waiting on this for the better part of a year. I'm firkin excited about it.
Read more »We will be bidding a final farewell to Capt. S later in the week, and preparations are underway for the ceremony.
Later this week, there will be another cancellation of my stream, because I will be off on family stuff. And I'd be useless for streaming anyway because whilst my tears work, my voice quits. I can either speak or cry, and crying is no good for stream.
So my expected output will be... variable. Bereavement takes priority.
As for today... let
