Leyland's Tour

A 70-post collection

Tuesday, Patreon, Shopping, and Fiction

Not necessarily dealt with in that order. It's going to be a strain on our economy, but I will get us stocked up with bits and bobs, stuff and things, and things and stuff.

Costco will be open soon, so I'll be icing my ankle ere I launch for the Leyland's tour. Everything else will be happening after I return victorious with my haul.

Gotta line up the stuff for my Patrons. Gotta get a rattle on with the side projects. Gotta line up the agents for a PitchBomb.

And I gotta get rolling right now. Beginning with ice.

Updates if necessary.

Monday, Alternate PLNs

Mayhem's going to work on Wednesday, which means I have extra time to go forth and acquire supplies for the household. Huzzah.

Though walking around with my new, firmer ankle bracer is a bit of a pain in the arse, at least it doesn't require a sock so the velcro doesn't get on my sensory irritations. Part of my supply journey today includes stopping at a new meat place to see if the bargains are anything like Dickies.

Not helped by the

Friday, Battery PLNs and Mor Supplies

The batteries I have for our fire alarms are shit, and there's only two places that might have them. If we're lucky. So it's a Leyland's tour to keep the household safe from the threat of flame.

If I find them quickly, I'll pick up a few other things on the way back. If it's a long-ass search then I will drag myself home and get on with the offerings.

I sincerely hope to get my hands on a more rigid ankle

Tuesday, Big Day About

I may not have the time to post Patreon stuff today. It's almost 5PM and I just now sat down to do my work. I mean, I technically did finish a chapter of A Devil's Tale while I was roaming, but that's background work y'all don't see. Not until after it's done.

Here's my day:

  • 3-4AM awaken and pry self from bed, get dressed
  • Make sure I know where MeMum's seasonal chocolate is, so I don't forget it
  • Get dressed and take

Tuesday, Technical Nonsense Ahoy

I have parcels to pick up, Adorable to fetch, and an interesting day ahead because unriddling whatever the fuck is going on with my software and hardware.

Adorable has tradies coming, so juggling the minutes promises to be some degree of fun.

I'm going to finish this blog entry, don some clothings, and then launch to get the stuff and then get Adorable.

Offerings when and if I can manage to do them. Maybe even including Patreon.

Update:

The Tradies turned into

Wednesday, Tech Support Leyland's Tour

I am currently out with MeMum, one tech issue dealt with and awaiting a good breakfast. During the rush. Yay.

With all good luck, I should have at least a story for you this afternoon. I don't know about the rant. It might not occur tomorrow, either, because physio and incoming spandek. The receipt for which I forgot in my bag. Whoops.

I hope a photo will do.

I also hope that they come on the Thursday like they said.

Thursday, The Quest For Spandek(tm)

It's an absolutely wonderful day to go on a Leyland's Tour to find, purchase, and haul a specifically wobbly sheet of metal homewards. By which I mean it's fucking raining.

I have a cyclone headache, digestive issues, my wrist hates me, my shoulder is in need of deep heat and a big burly massage, my feet are deciding whether or not they hate me, I'm constantly tired, and my right thumb has a glitch.

Recap: Last week, I turned a tap off

Tuesday, Family Support and Maybe Patreon

I'm taking MeMum hither and thither today, fixing tech issues and helping with the shopping and so on. As a result, there may not be Patreon posts until tomorrow.

There's another embuggerance on top of the regular furforal... Mum's waiting for people to pick up some equipment loaned to help with the flood nonsense. So now we're waiting for those folks to turn up.

On the plus side, I have the time to write this blog, so yay.

I'll be working on

Thursday, Crossed Wires and Running Around

I previously thought I was seeing my physio today. I checked my schedule and no. I'm seeing my physio tomorrow. Nevertheless, I have run out of stuff and things and I need to go on a supply run.

It's a long, long run. Here, there, an extra stop at Bunnings for some corrugated iron, and another stop at a chemist for a restock of some meds. Of course I'm getting the refrigeratables last.

The sheet of corrugated iron is going to be

Tuesday, Grand Tech Expedition

Today, I help MeMum fight the forces of enshittification by securing her Kindle collection. And finding a way to purchase more ebooks without giving Bezos any more money. This will include instructions about how to transfer said ebooks to the Kindle.

I expect it's going to be a long day.

So I therefore suspect that I may not have time to get any of my expected offerings out onto the interwebs. If that happens, I'll have a grand catch-up session on

Tuesday, Shopping PLNs

We need a few things, but I need to go to different places to get them. So I'm due for a Leyland's Tour today.

As soon as all the shops are open, of course.

My attempt to get the printer working was an outright failure. Hashtag, I tried.

But I also got all the buttons done, so my GameMaker time will be in placing them on the boards, and then learning how to make each function do what I want it to

Tuesday, Leyland's Tour Ahoy

Mum needs help with stuff so I'm on the road again. Yoiks and away.

[Which reminds me, I need to stop procrastinating on pitching my books at people. I have found another agency I can pitch at, so they get the book(s) the other ones aren't looking at. Diversity, baby]

I will attempt some minor jiggery-pokery in GameMaker to keep the streak going, tonight. After all the other offerings are done.

The sooner I have all the buttons going 'click', the

Monday, Backup Reads and Leyland's Tour

The cats need food, I need to find a knee brace that will keep my kneecap in one firkin place.

The cloth ones are good for bad days, but one particular knee is doing things worse. I might ask about non-thermal knee sleeves while I'm there.

Australia's hot enough without thermal knee sleeves -_-

I tried the spicy sardines this morning, and they're not that bad. My fears of the spicy are dwindling.

When the reads end, I shall be offski

Friday, Shopping Trip and Healing

Toe news: The antibiotics I'm on are working. The injury site is no longer reddened nor warm. Even the scabs are flaking off. My lung issues are also waning, and tomorrow evening is the time I take the last pill. Yay.

Today's PLNs include a trip to the DFO where they sell the best possible shoes at the best possible price. Thus leaving a little extra mad money.

I'm also making a start on bread, today. Baking it tomorrow.

I might even

Monday, Luncheon Expedition

Word of warning: I have no idea if or when today's offerings will be out. I am BUSY until at least Boxing Day.

Today: Driving out to collect MeMum for a lunch with other relatives pre-crimbo. I also have to organise the kids into being presentable. Fun.
Tomorrow: Going to the doctor about my toes [more on this later] then dropping off a thing at Adorable's, then picking up MeMum for convenience purposes for the day after.
Christmas Day: Familial nonsense including
