Disorganised Today - Datorganised Tomorrow

A 101-post collection

Tuesday, Patreon, Headaches, and Remote Tech Support

There's a lot of horseshit happening in my life today that I did not need happening. Starting with the precursor to a truly nasty stress headache that renders me functionally blind. Yay. The good news is that I clued on to what was happening and got myself dosed up with painkillers in time.

The bad news is - I have too much stress going on.

I have my mum panicking about her pension to the point where she's forgotten how to use word processors. I have a license to pay so that I can keep things in order if mum's health goes amiss. I have the patreon to post. I have to figure out what's going wrong with Kdenlive because its subtitle functionality has suddenly vanished. My Beloved hasn't been answering any questions nor solving any issues, nor participating in any discussions.

AND I have digestive issues that need unfucking. Fun times.

It's truly ironic that taking painkillers has managed to clear my vision from blind spots but also makes my head hurt.

I also need someone to untangle the muscled in my right shoulder because I keep sleeping on it wrong.

But at least I managed to dislodge a bunch of earwax plugging up my ability to hear. Yay. Hosing it out didn't work but some earwax dissolver did. I need more of it in the other ear, but it's working. So at least something is happening in my favour.

I can at least get the story up. And then see if I have the energy or impetus to post my patreon offerings.

I think I need a lot of luck today.

Update

The tingling was definitely bad asthma. I will be very glad when I get back on my preventers. This will teach me to get rid of my old scrips when they expire.

I'm going to try making my offerings now that I've been able to take a second dose of my painkillers. The nasty headache has gone from Stress Bastard to Cyclone Bastard. Fun times.

Sunday, Reads and Cake

I have a story to read for tomorrow's video. I have five chapters to read so that (maybe) Adorable can hear them. So far, efforts had not been great.

I'm recording on schedule today...

UPDATE!

I got interrupted by an errand to take machinery and bits to Beloved, and I got a couple more chapters read for her. Yay.

So now I get on with my offerings and video read at minimum. If I can, I'll get the latest five chapters recorded

Wednesday, Rants and Videos and Other Stuff

It's half-past nine and so far I'm feeling like...

[Shown here: A simplified humanoid figure oscillating rapidly left and right. It is captioned, "I have done nothing productive all day"]

Which is a lie. I have finished up half a chapter of ADT, I've been working on some fun fiction this morning. And I'm reaching for motivation to start submitting books at people again, but it's the kind of work that makes my bones feel heavy and uuuuuurgh.

If I had an

Friday, Strategising PLNs

I've been going on drips and dribbles with ADT these last two days. Mostly because the lure of three firkin fanfics are calling me with their siren song. I'm aiming to use my ankle icing time to add a few sentences into one work or another. I successfully added a sentence to three fics so this break will focus on the book first, and then drift off to wherever the muse drags me.

So far, so good.

The bread's done, the story's

Tuesday, Patreon, Copyright and Bread

I have a loaf in the incubator, Wilson warming up for the next batch of bread, and I've learned that LibGen, a database of stolen works used to train AI, contains my book The Amity Incident.

Fun.

Alas, the information of what to do seems to be behind a paywall and I have no idea what to do about it. Some searching has dug up A lead, but I'm not entirely certain it's the right one.

I've done a few paragraphs in

Saturday, Shenanigans Ensue

I'm doing a compy swap for Miss Chaos, which means taking her TempoCompy(tm) to Adorable's, making sure her old compy works, and then taking the old compy home and leaving Adorable with the TempoCompy. Which is now the fam's TempoCompy. For all the assorted temporary computer needs. Huzzah.

Which leaves Mayhem baking the second batch of bread and doing... experiments with it. Fun. I'll find out how that went when I get home. Either way, we eat the results.

And, because

Sunday, Bread and Nonsense

My time manglement skills are in full "flower" today. I did get the dough prepped with the help of Mayhem for the last fold and tucking away in the fridge.

I have calculated that it takes me around 20 hours to make bread from 'go' to 'whoah'. That's not counting the prep and bumbling about time so it probably is closer to 22 hours. No wonder it takes me two freaking days to have lovely golden butt loaves.

I should be able

Thursday, Physio, Spandek, and Ouchies

I have been reminded to do my wrist stretchies by a persistent pain in my right wrist. At least the container bite from packaging rice has healed. But I still need to wear the thumb splint because nerve janglies.

It's time to take off. BRB.

I return.

Even the physio can't figure out what the hell I did to myself. I shall continue with rest and being very careful with how I handle the household taps.

I also have to keep today's

Monday, Some Progress at Least

Miss Chaos is at least making an effort, so that's something. I need to figure out where she went wrong with a part of it. Get her to re-do that part and see if it works when she follows the instructions more precisely.

There's less garbage in the carport and there will be more space for her bike. In good time.

After I'm done with the backup reads, I'll supervise her practicing riding her bike up and down the road.

I have

Thursday, Bread and Nonsense

Once again, it's too hot to work outdoors where the power tools are. It's even hotter than it was yesterday. I've got my first loaf in the incubator and the Dutch Oven preheating.

The PLN today is:

  1. Bake my bread
  2. Set up for the next loaf
  3. Go fetch more meds and a calendar
  4. Bake my second loaf

And somewhere between steps 3 and 4, I will be making my offerings. Probably partially between 1 and 2 also.

Right now, I'm finishing up

Monday, Shenanigans Ahead

I PLN on making heritable buttons today. No matter what, they will all go 'click'. Other functions will happen later.

When I figure that mess out.

Bread is postponed until Wednesday, because MeMum needs my car and tomorrow is the best time for shenanigans of that ilk.

I think Thursday/Friday might be the best day for posting stuff to Patreon. Trying to remember to do that is the hurdle for me to overcome.

I have ordered the second half of my

Monday, Attempts at Organisation

I have some butter fridge-defrosting at the moment. I've located my melon baller. I know where all my bits are. I shall locate and acquire some lables tomorrow.

Almost all set up for making my Crimbo present for everyone. Yay.

I'm taking my lappy for the hurry-up-and-wait. Which means there shall be progress on yet another chapter of A Devil's Tale.

I sincerely hope to get it finished early next year.

I also sincerely hope to stop at a sextology. Mostly because
