Tuesday, Patreon and unfuckening

Thanks to Beloved being yet another whirlwind, I now have a small store of prepped meals so I don't default to potentially unhealthy nonsense when Beloved is not otherwise around to cook. And it will save money on restaurant stuff.

...though it does look like the spawn have noticed the meal trays and thought, Aha! Easy food.

Sigh.

Same as it ever was.

Today, I shall finish writing my Tale Foundry entry, post on Patreon, and tidy up around the kitchen a bit before I settle down to populate/set-dress even more portions of dungeon for the players to dragon in. If I'm feeling spectacularly energetic, I may even reach the point where I'm building the next level.

I doubt, though. TaleSpire has its frustrations. And sometimes, those frustrations are in the piddly little details that end up making a map look good.

I'm also on the hook for redesigning the Box of House. Because of course I am.

...I do these things to myself.

Tuesday, Patreon and Other Shenanigans

So everyone's talking about the Oscars and the Thing That Happened. Let's get a few things straight:

  1. Jaida Smith has a chronic condition that effects her appearance
  2. Chris Rock decided that being a dick about this was funny
  3. Will Smith decided not on my watch
  4. All the conservative/white hot takes are all "violence is wrong" because misogyny/racism and misogynoir [which is specific misogyny against black women]
  5. And for SOME REASON we're getting a resurgence of "if you ignore abuse, the

Tuesday, Patreon, Progress

The skip is gone and so is a lot of nonsense from our house. Huzzah.

We have an ice cream machine and my first attempt at making something cold and yummy was loaded with fail. Whee. I shall try again with a lot more reading ahead.

Later.

I have had a messed-up trapezoid muscle for literal DAYS. But now we have a microwave heat pack that is doing good things for me. Slowly. At least I can raise my hand above my

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

Tuesday, Patreon and PLNs

So my Beloved has had the idea of us spending more bonding time together. She's a genius, of course. Last week was getting our hair done, which was expensive. Being chronically aware of a lessening of our funds means that I was seeking things that are free as well as fun.

We need more ppl to play D&D, and that can be an expensive hobby when you get down to it. Going on nature walks requires time to get to

Tuesday, Patreon, and a Problem

It's Patreon Tuesday, so I have a bunch of stuff to post. I don't have anything for Tale Foundry - YET. Thinking about this is one of my tasks today.

I aim to get a month's worth of fictions tagged because I keep forgetting to do a week a day. Bleh.

So much to do. So little organisation. On my gottado's today:

  • All the self cares
  • Patreon posts
  • Tale Foundry story
  • Dungeon building
  • World building
  • Fic tagging for the app

If I

Tuesday, Day 0, Patreon

Still not looking at the stats or the news, but I know it's not getting better. I just can't look, any more. It's giving me horrendous morbs.

Miss Chaos has supplies enough for more than a few lunches, and a sammich kit in case the hungries get her at school or if she somehow forgets to pack a decent lunch. Yay.

I still have to find a local source of fresh and unadulterated flour because waiting for it in the post is
