Friday, Very Tired Bean

Done so far:

[X] Tortured my feet

[X] Driven Mayhem to work

[X] Cleaned out the catio

[X] Finished my stretchies

[X] Wrote another half-chapter of A Devil's Tale

Yet to do are the daily offerings and maybe an attempt to unfuck Stencyl's shenanigans.

And I still have to go fetch Mayhem this afternoon.

Tomorrow, I have to get up early for parkrun and, perhaps, an entire day of QPP fun. Which means that I might not have time to make my offerings on that day. If so, I'll do what I can to have a twofer tomorrow.

Heck with doing twofers on Monday. That was a bitch.

I am a very tired bean, and I have to keep going. Thank grop for caffeine tubes, or I would be a WRECK.

I am going to need a LOT of sleep.

Thursday, Some News and Progress

Following Wednesday's weekly blog thing, and following a discussion with Beloved about a thing I said in there, I can now make a very special announcement:

Book 5 Confirmed!

Book 4 of A Devil's Tale has an official end, which means the chapters I'm involved with are now in Book 5.

This means that part of my nonsense for today will be collating the advance reader copy of Book 4, and attempting to consider ten exit questions for the dang thing.

Wednesday: Ranting Due and Shenanigans

I'm squeezing productivity out of my minutes available this morning. I have a two-hour round trip commencing in a few minutes, followed by shopping for varied essentials. Then there's the time window to wedge in the rest of my offerings today.

When Mayhem moves to part-time, following his training, we'll both have a schedule to operate with.

This is more planning than I'm used to.

I'm halfway tempted to talk about scheduling issues this week. I am NOT going grumpy again. I'll

Tuesday, Schedule Rebuggerings

Mayhem has a part-time job. Which, because public transit two and from takes THREE FUCKING HOURS EACH WAY, I am involved with. Delivery and retrieval. So now I have a time window and a dedicated four hours' of driving each day. Huzzah.

I am therefore squeezing in anything I can into the intervening hours.

Doing a little is better than doing nowt.

I'm going to finish my doses, finish my stretches, and get on with my offerings. In that order.

Friday, Ongoing Shenanigans

I have, perhaps, a handful of hours to make and post my offerings before I am called to QPP-fetching duty.

I have yet to clean the catio, but I have ferried Mayhem out to get his work clothes, all paid for by the nice PPL at APM. He even got a free beanie out of it.

I will get to the catio after I make my offerings.

I also need to talk to the Stencyl Discord about the latest nonsense happening with

Tuesday, Absent Love & Shopping PLNs

Rain and rail closures prevented my love and I uniting last night. So I made a lazy meal and hauled off to bed.

Today, I have the opportunity to make sure we have supplies. Stuff for the kids. Things for my good self. That kind of business.

So I got to strap on my knees, check my list, and set forth on a grand tour of assorted shops to go get things.

Yay.

After I return and have my post-shopping treato, that's

Monday, Backup Reads

I cut my stretchies short for the reads and have not tormented my feet. I have the offerings to make and then... I must get brave and work out the jiggery-pokery that may indeed make Stencyl work.

If it does, then I shall record some potential sound assets for Pseuducku and add them to the files that will eventually make the program go.

If not... I will seek out help regarding what to do to make it work.

When it does, I

Sunday, Day off?

It's almost July, my lovelies. And that means I've had to prep to publish the trailer for this year's All Hallow's Read story. I figure on asking one author on Tumblr per week to help me plug the dang thing... but I'll start with my sweet followers.

That's happening after a few days.

Today... I will get my offerings launched, and spend a few free hours farting around and enjoying myself.

Work/life balance. Or, in my case, work/get-a-life balance ;)

Come

Saturday, Parkrun and Solar PLNs

I had to slow down because my ankles decided to hate me for walking fast. It matters not how speedy I am, it matters that I make it.

In other news: I have a new thing that someone has called me.

Anime Samurai Ninja.

Yes, folks. They guy at the coffee place remembers me as "the anime samurai ninja" which amuses me greatly.

Anime: Dyed hair
Samurai: The walking stick hanging like a katana off my belt
Ninja: my nigh permanent mask

Friday, Recording and PLNs

I have five chapters ready for recording. I have a fresh idea burning through my skull, so I'm kind of compelled to get that one to a point of stasis. I've got some jiggery-pokery to do to make progress towards Pseuducku.

I'll focus on the offerings first. Then do the voice recordings and, if there's some time between that and bread, fiddle about with the jiggery-pokery.

And oh yes, it's a baking day. I have the first loaf rising in the incubator

Thursday: Bread Prep

I have half an hour before it's time to autolyse my dough. I need to wash some bowls in preparation for tomorrow, when the actual baking happens.

In the meantime, I have a story ready to roll out. Just a few key details like... detailing my PLNs for the day.

I've sought advice on Reddit. I'm seeking advice for my Stencyl issues in a little bit of time.

And at some point, Beloved is coming up for shared time over a small

Wednesday: Complicated PLNs

The problem: I need to go shopping and start into bread.

I have a four-hour window during the starter rise to do that. Sourdough is time sensitive. The rest of my nonsense is not.

So my itinerary is thus:

  • finish getting dressed [I'm still in the midst of my stretchies]
  • feed cats [THE most important part of my day - ask the cats]
  • torture feet
  • weigh and prep bread stuff
  • Feed the starter, but put the starter harvest in the fridge while

Tuesday, Announcement Incoming!

I am biting the bullet and committing to making Pseuducku exist. So... between my daily offerings, working on my WIP, and some essential relaxation activities - I will be learning and doing.

Learning: How to make a game on Stencyl.

Doing: Making a game based on the lessons I've absorbed so far.

Hacking one's own brain is an essential skill, and I've figured out I don't keep information about new skills very well.

The good news is that I've figured out how

Monday, Possibly Patreon and PLNs

Today's agenda includes, in no specific order:

  • Posting to Patreon
  • The daily offerings
  • Working on Pseuducku
  • Attempting to make a place to show off the progress for Pseuducku

I've decided it's going to be a web app and the forum's going to have an arena for update notices, player feedback, Q&A's and so forth. Thus to create interest and to allow ppl like MeMum to test the versions.

Newest versions first. For ease of location. Pretty sure nobody wants to

Saturday, No Parkrun, No Stream PLNs

The post-jab ickies have allowed a minor gastro bug to move in. Huzzah. Not.

So no parkrun for me. No parkrun for the QPP either, since Beloved still has the same tummy bug. Yay. Not.

Aaaannnnd OBS' horseshit is still a mystery to all of us so the game PLNs for early-early tomorrow are off. Woot. Not.

It's been win, win, win over here in Casa Del Nutter. [/sarcasm]

I let myself enjoy a conciliatory Inflatable Pie, and I will be right
