Tuesday, Home Remedies and Recovering

Adorable sent me some supplies, yesterday, and I began with mixing up some Shandy. Today, I've set up some Ginger Garlic Chicken Soup. It's brewing in the slow cooker as I type. I might be making some rice to go with because digestive issues.

I'm still focussing on getting enough rest and fluids.

As for symptoms, the running nose is technically slowing down, but I'm still sneezing myself hoarse, coughing myself dizzy, and nursing the headache from hell.

Hoping the painkillers kick in sometime during the making of today's tale.

Also, I was able to bake my bread.

[Shown here: Pale beige bifurcated loaf with seeds in its makeup] The mistake with this one was not preheating the dutch oven in the electric one. [Shown here: Deep brown bifurcated loaf with seeds in its makeup and sesame seeds on top] No idea why this one got so brown, but I guess they average out.

This in spite of a head so swampy that I think Kermit's in there, singing Rainbow Connection.

Offerings soon. I hope.

Thursday, Meds Run

New script in hand, I shall be wending my way to getting more of what it takes to stay stable. Well. Relatively stable. But that can wait until the road trip to drop off Mayhem. More of a chapter will happen thanks to that wait. Yay.

Since I don't have to be anywhere else, I may actually have a chance to work on Pseuducku. Huzzah.

Miss Chaos now has two game creation programs and is in the midst of messing around and

Sunday, Game Night and Heel Health

I did need my cane to make it to my desk this morning, but the need of it is waning as the day progresses. Yay. The physio is working.

I just finished a session with my international maniacs and I'm about to take a nap the instant this blog entry is done. Offerings happening when I feel less dang tired.

I may get to Patreon posts. I may get to asking the GameMaker community about an error in the thing. I will

Thursday, Attempted PLNs

I need to make a phone call to arrange a prescription. I also need to talk to the GameMaker people about the new errors after the last fix.

I'm working on improving a nursery rhyme featuring in the novel. I need hefty help from my writer's group with it because... I am no poet.

I'm going to get on with that after I'm back from ferrying Mayhem to work.

Meanwhile, stretchies and noodling about with meter and rhyme while I know I

Wednesday, Rant Due and Upcoming PLNs

Mayhem once again has Tuesdays off. It was a temporary thing, and has to be reset regularly. Honestly, the sooner Mayhem can drive himself there and back, the better for everyone.

I might cover how I keep writing because I've been asked that again. How I can have such a relentless output. Honestly, it's how to adopt a habit. Getting into the routine of writing.

I've never been wanting for ideas, so my advice would be finding a decent source of writing

Tuesday, Embuggerance to the PLN

Mayhem's scheduled to work today. It's his designated day off. So today, I have to schlep him all the way up there to talk to the boss about the schedule. Which may take less than an hour.

I still have to do shopping at some point.

So the PLN as it stands is:

  • Ferry Mayhem up
  • Wait a maximum of an hour
  • Go do shopping regardless
  • Including disposing of my expired atrovent nebules
  • Get everything & everyone home
  • Manage the rest of

Friday, Physio and Fudging it

I might have two breakthroughs. Working at the Gamemaker issue from two sides. On one side, the web install and the community help, on the other - the Steam version and its virtual Windows drive.

Maybe approaching it from two directions will box the dang thing in and keep it still so I can work on it.

Fingers crossed.

I had to wait for better internet to get one potential fix done. I'm waiting on feedback for the other side. And a

Tuesday, Day at Home

So here's an update on my daily shenanigans and what passes for my schedule.

Mayhem's permanently signed up to the evening shift so, on Crunch Days, he could plausibly be working between midday and eight at night. Because Mayhem wants to be there an hour in advance, I'm driving at ten.

I have a lot of the morning to get my writing into gear, do my stretchies, and otherwise maintain my meat suit.

And that means I have my afternoons to attempt

Monday, Tentative PLNs

I needed all of Sunday to recover from parkrun, but I managed my morning regime before it was time to do the runaround for Mayhem.

I might spare myself some aggravation and go do the shopping before I settle myself into making today's offerings. It needs must to be done and then I have less to fret about on Tuesday. Because Tuesday has become more crowded than expected! Huzzah.

The Sullage people, as I mentioned, are having a look at the system

Monday, Extra Day Off Because Lurgi

Mayhem has once again found a Lurgi that loves him. Alas, this news came after the writer's group was done with the share session. Whoops.

Tomorrow, I'm offski to the other side of Brisbane to unriddle MeMum's tech issues. At last. With a freshly-tuned car to do it all with. Yay.

Today, I'm going to attempt to add sounds to my Pseuducku project. Daring.

The good news is that my feet are starting to hate me less and walking is a lot

Friday, Back on the Routine (ish)

The new regime of foot care involves squishing my arches and heels around on a gel pack. I already have one, but it's still in the process of getting squishy[It was rock-hard in the freezer drawer]. So I kind of rested my feet on that thing and repositioned as appropriate. I also have sports tape on my left foot, but not my right.

The lingering results of sonic heels and laser therapy are an intermittent 'ping' of pain in the spur

Tuesday, Car Service

It's going to cost me a new pair of sandshoes. For reference, decent sandshoes that will actually help failfeet like mine cost upwards of half a grand.

This is on the low end of that "upwards" but it's still a sock in the gut.

I began today with a massive cyclone headache at 2AM and it's not looking that great for the rest of the day. Painkillers taken, but not yet kicking in. I have to wait until I have my bread

Saturday, Parkrun and Bifdy Bash

For those unaware, 'bifdy' is a uniquely Aussie corruption of the word 'birthday'. I'm moderately certain that most people know that 'bash' is slang for 'party' but... if you didn't? Today You Learned.

I like spreading knowledge.

Aaaanyway...

Chaos and I are doing parkrun with Beloved and Adorable in the morning, possibly brunching together. Then I go home, roust the kiddos into jooshing up for the evening, as well as grooming myself to be fancy for the night.

Friday, Happy Birthday to Me!

As a gentle reminder, you can now obtain your free copy of The World Will Not Miss... from every ebook retailer that doesn't upmark my ideal price of $0.00

Because I insist this story is free. For everybody. For the rest of time.

I'd understand a markup to "cost" if it was in the dead tree version, but... it isn't. It's all electrons. Those bits can be flipped for amazingly cheap.

I am indulging in carbage and planning on enjoying myself

Thursday, PLNs of Inaction

Today, Powers Help Me, I am going to make a button. It will not be functional, but it will be added to the layout of the 4x4 grid for later programming, bells, and/or whistles.

I am also going to make a phone call. I honestly don't know which is more harrowing.

Then I'll take the rest of the day off to mess around in Satisfactory. I'll have earned it by then.

In the meantime, my daily offerings shall be flowing forth
