Tuesday, Shrinkydinks

It's difficult to work this morning since Jolie is making it known that she really really missed me by getting between me and my keyboard. Poor thing.

I have a shrink visit today, so she's going to be more of a sad baby about the whole pack of noise, and it can't be helped because I NEED my shrink today.

It's been a frazzling time.

We're in the process of evicting all the garbage in our house. My work yesterday was sorting all the DVD's and Blu Rays that were not worth keeping.

There's a LOT, and I've only done one shelf.

There's a whole 'nother shelf, one huge drawer and Powers Only Know how many other stashes we have around the environs. I've filled two big boxes with rejecta and I'm working on a third. Yeeks.

I did not know we had this much bullshit just lying around. It's going to be amazing when it's done but the process of doing is just... UUUGHHHH...

I can do little things today. Like evict old cardboard and clear pathways to get to the other stuff I want to get out of the house.

Fucking hell, I'm such a hoarder.

ADDENDUM - My compy decided to throw a shit because I was using too much memory, this morning. I am in the process of desperately unriddling this before the next stream. Yay.

Monday, the long one

The murder hobos have yet another overpowered artifact. One I wanted the Warlock to have because power. And it's raised even more questions about what's going on with the eldritch god.

Today, I don't expect much out of myself. Because most of my energy is already expended in creating stuff and nonsense.

I have PLNs to take a nap at a later point today. At which point Beloved might have to take over the parenting stuff. I usually get conscious in the

Sunday, Complicated Day

So. Capt S is having a day in which she should not be without some fam nearby for comfort and succour. We have plns to visit her in the morning, because I need to sleep for D&D tonight, we need to get going ASAP because Capt S is two hours' drive away.

As a direct result, I am streaming at 4AM and missing out on the Tale Foundry readings. I shall catch the VOD1 at a later time.

Because

Friday, Unfuckening Ho!

We have filled a skip with unwanted debris. We are getting a second, larger skip to fill with even MORE unwanted debris.

Then... we shall have SPACE. Space for stuff. Space to keep the stuff we want to keep. Space for my culch collection. Beloved is going to get us organised or wear herself out trying.

I'm helping as much as I can with all of this. I despise the mess we've made in our home.

I do have to move the

Thursday, A Day of Rest

We have been splurging Beloved's bonus and she has announced that she wants us to be equals in all things. Which means I get nice stuff when she gets nice stuff. I will no longer be able to sublimate my needs and go without for the sake of others.

Which is good for me in the long term. I shall be mildly scandalised by this for at least a year. I bet.

I have a new laptop to replace the old one,

Wednesday, I'm Very Tired

Long Monday was longer than it had to be. It was a good thing I slept through most of Tuesday because our anniversary date night went minutes into the next morning, including a long walk in the sweltering evening because we were unable to directly access my car.

My knees hurt. I have chub rub. Yet I would not change very much about the evening. Maybe where I firkin parked. That's about it.

We had some excellent foods and watched an amusingly

Tuesday, Anniversary Gifts

Today is our Silver Anniversary! HUZZAH! And I already have the best gift in the world...

My Beloved is back home!

Oh it is such a relief. She has new meds prescribed to her by the doctors [since you were worried about that, Mum] and a schedule of check-ups and experts to make sure those meds are doing what they should be doing.

As said in previous blogs, one of her diabetes medications didn't work too great with being on Keto. The

Long Monday, and an extended quest

I have been awake since 10PM last night, I have tasks and errands that will keep me awake for most of the day, belike.

All to help my Beloved have a better stay in hospital.

And when I'm done there, I need to go get some cream because we're nearly out. Fingers crossed, they won't be sending Miss Chaos home early because weather.

...you watch. I've spoken it into existence. It will happen.

Blargh.

I can only try my best. It's all

Sunday, Madness Day

Beloved is improving from the worst she was suffering. Yay. I did have to run a mission of mercy for her so she could have peak comfort in the temple of misery.

I may or may not be going back today. If Beloved does not stop me, I am GOING.

The good news is that she's getting better. The medication that caused all the problems is now off her health regime. So no more return visits for that. Huzzah.

I have been

Saturday, Feast Day, Health Update

For those of you following the generic soap opera that is my life... it turns out that Beloved's diabetes medication and the Keto lifestyle do not mix.

We're going to have to make sure she has carbs enough to deal with the meds. Or get off the meds and stay on the keto. Whichever is best for her.

We know what it is. Great. We know why it is. Fantastic. I currently have no idea how long it's going to take to

Friday, Disaster

Remember Beloved's crook tum? Turns out she's been throwing up what looks like blood for three days.

FUN.

We tried calling 13SICK, no medics available. Tried booking at the local quack - two appointments immediately, and the plague protocols meant we'd have to ring in. By which time the two remaining appointments would be GONE.

...hi ho hi ho, off to the hospital we had to go...

The hospital is currently under rennos. So first we had to locate the dang carpark.

Thursday, proposal, and shenanigans

I do not have much time this morning so I make an effort to be quick.

Bullet points:

  • Re-proposed to Beloved as part of the pre-anniversary celebrations
  • Beloved has a tummy bug. Not related
  • Mayhem has a job interview
  • I'm trying to build the Box of House as a base for my players
  • I still want to have merch but I have little in the way of time today because of the above
  • If I don't hurry, I won't get my story

Wednesday, Wordpress and Anniversary

Beloved and I will be celebrating our Silver Anniversary real soon now. Methinks today's date will be all about buying each other something silver. She's worth it, I know that.

For the rest of today, I am trying to gather peeps from the D&D game to help design the Box of House.

A brief explain:

  • Players got hold of an item called a "Folding Boat", this got quickly nicknamed "the box of boat" in game.
  • This INSTANTLY gave them the

Tuesday, Patreon, and mor floods

The school's still closed, and so are a lot of roads. If I was in charge of the country, I'd have as many road repair crews as possible out there and fixing all the potholes that have emerged thanks to the rain. BUT I'm not in charge. More's the pity.

Today on Patreon: More chapters of Kingdom of Sand trickle down to the $1 tier, I have another page of information for my highest donors in regards to Alfarell, the world I'm

Monday, the long one

There's cloudy skies, intermittent rain, shitty internet, and a potential Tale Foundry reading depending on whether or not the connection stays.

I already had TaleSpire brown out on my during a game.

Fortunately, they were playing pranks on each other and creating incendiary devices. Inter-player shenanigans is fun.

There were lots of laughs.

There may be many more, because my fellow Taleoids have all the ability to stay on track of a wobbly shopping cart. I shall hold out for that, today.
