Thursday, Physio Reschedule and Cunning PLNs

I forgot a few things during the shopping trip yesterday, and my Physio put me in an earlier schedule, so the PLN is to stop by Norflakes and pick them up there. After the Physio sesh of course.

Shouldn't take too long.

Of course, I'm making sure I'll get there early to give myself time to work on a chapter. Who knows? I might just write a chapter in one day [spoilers, I was awake at 3AM and decided to do some work before stirring in full from my comfy bed]. I will for sure brag about that if accomplished. Keep an eye on my Bluesky and Fediverse instances.

Until that goes off, I shall be doing what I can about the stuff undone [recordings for Adorable] and the stuff expected [the usual offerings].

All I have to do is remember that shiznit.

Offski I popski.

Friday, Physio, Bread, and Leyland's Tour

I'm going off to have my heels hammered today. On the way back, I'm stopping at Costco, Dickson's, and Aldi. For a very pliable definition of "on the way back".

I'm also wrangling bread.

So today is definitely going to be "fun".

Added to this "fun" is the fact that Chaos' compy is not playing nice. I have to pack it up and haul it down to Adorable's tomorrow. Which means I'll also be packing up a cold pack, an ice brick,

Sunday, Archive Reads and PLNs

The Twitch channel AMothintheArchive is reading other writer's microfictions. I'm attending as normal.

Some time after Costco opens, I shall be offski on a rather urgent adventure since we're almost out of eggs. We're rather caning the supply.

I don't think I'm likely to go back to regular chain store eggs. Costco's are cheaper and more abundant. I'll also be picking up a few other things along the way because resupply seems to be my regular mission in life.

Meanwhile, I am

Thursday, Bread and Preparations

If I want to do double-loaf baking, I should start on Sunday so that I can have Thursday and Friday theoretically free for helping MeMum with whatever issues she's got.

I've backed up my GoogDrive and am pondering deleting everything on there. BUT I also need a peripatetic version for writing while roaming. Ellipsus doesn't seem to update cross-devices and that's a bit of a problem for me.

So I'll be looking for good file-sharing alternatives before I trash my GoogDrive. Ideally

Tuesday, Patreon and Urgent Shopping

I owe my patrons a few things, starting with the five chapters' audio I was trying to record when my tower borked in the first place.

I'll be recording those very, very soon.

The good news is that most of a chapter I was recording at implosion is still there! I just need to loop in half a sentence and then, as Jukebox the Ghost sang, I am off to the races.

I also need to go fetch a new cable to

Wednesday, Rant and Other Things

I am definitely doing a "Reasons To Love" this week. A total enthusiasm about season one is a bit overdue.

I am attempting to operate without the ankle brace, today. I have it nearby, just in case.

I've finished another five chapters of ADT so there's more recordings in my future. There's going to be one hell of an upload for Adorable when I have that avenue to share those things.

The longer it takes to stabilise that avenue of communication, the

Tuesday, Furthering PLNs

Mayhem now has a foundation in using Cursor, and a week to FAFO with it before he says yae or nae to the traineeship. Okay. Would have been nice to know that before this morning.

I have a parcel to pick up so I might as well go on a supply run while I'm out. In socks and sandals because my shoes are too heavy for my delicate ankle. I'm in my comfy dowdy clothes because I could not give less of

Sunday, Thinking About Nightmares

I finally had a decent idea for the prompt-after-next-prompt, "Nightmares For Sale". So I'm working on that whilst doing my daily offerings.

I should have recorded yesterday so I could edit today and post tomorrow. Nevermind. I shall record today and hope for the best.

After the Archive is done with reading stories from the group.

Looks like I made bread just in time. I'll have to advance the schedule a little bit. Thursday seems decent enough to start.

I shall see,

Saturday, Bread Day

I got a loaf in the incubator, I got a whole bunch of nonsense going on. I gotta put bread in the ovens1 at about the same time I gotta ice my ankle. Fun times.

I will be enlisting whomsoever happens to be convenient to assist with that level of nonsense.

I have my offerings to make as well as bread to bake. And I will find a way to juggle that and the damn ankle. And I will be very

Thursday, Shopping Day and Physio Tomorrow

We need eggs. We need a few other things... but not so much as last week. I'm going to have to rouse Chaos because Mayhem doesn't want to be involved. But I still need help to get stuff so... whatevs.

Miss Chaos has to learn to do stuff and be reliable and this is a perfect window of opportunity for that.

It might be a pain in both our arses, but she really needs to learn. Our girl can't coast for the

Monday, Owwies

As I type, I now have bracers on three of my joints. One on the ankle, one on my opposite knee, and one on my right hand. My left wrist is threatening to act up as well.

Mayhem can't go to work because the family resposible for taking him on the last leg have the dreaded Rona. Prayers for wellbeing appreciated

Today, walking is painful. I'm getting Chaos to help gather my daily doses.

This might be painful.

The strategy - One

Thursday, Physio and Catching Up

Getting all my nonsense for the household cost me money and energy. So I'll be catching up on my videos at some point today.

I take off at a quarter to ten so I have a hope of writing some ADT before I get on with the rest of my daily nonsense.

I honestly don't know how I'm going to deal because my right heel has started stinging for no apparent reason. Fun times.

Adorable has a headcold, Mayhem has signed up

Wednesday, Rant and Shopping Due

My USB power hub expired last night. Fun times. Now I have one of those added to my list. I have to stop off in several more places than originally planned.

I have my knees and ankle re-enforced, yay, but as I was getting my doses together, my right hip decided to add to the fun times.

...yay...

My PLNs include fortifying my funds with a visit to the local Cash-4-Cans place. Just to have that little bit extra. If we need

Thursday, Whoopsy Doopsy

My search for instructional videos on my ankle brace was a wash. Fortunately, the interwebs had a clear picture of the thing being worn. Powers know the firkin packet didn't have anything like a clear picture.

(grumbling about the way things are and who sells confounding gear minus a single sheet of paper)

I was so impressed by the ease of improving Beta 1.01 that I got into trying to make the tutorial. Big mistake.

I spent all of my remaining

Monday, Backup Reads and Improvements

I didn't get to doing art assets yesterday, so I'll be doing those today. As well as the usual output of offerings for the temple of notes.

I'll be running the prototype efforts past the fam first and update when that's both hunky and dory. There's two ideas to do it - one: lighter backing behind the bird, and two, a 'halo' around their outline. And do the problem ducks first, then do something with the numbers as well.

With very good
