Tuesday, Patreon Overdue, Shrink Day, and Shopping

I'm seeing my shrink in a couple of hours. I have stuff to post on Patreon and I need to take a couple of pictures for over there, too. And there's a supply run in the offing.

As well as the normal run of offerings unto the temple of notes.

Fun times ahead.

I can only launch after the Shrink Stuff(tm) but I can get a rattle on with my other contributions to the nonsense. And that's the PLN.

The good news is that I now finally have the spandek I have been searching for since the firkin cyclone blew things even more to bits than usual. Now all I need is fair enough weather to put it up there. And the help of at least one someone who can clime a dang ladder.

Onwards to the stuff I can do.

Monday, New Schedule For Game Night

To be more accurate, it's Game Morning... because the VTTRPG session goes through midnight.

Sunday evening, I get myself an early-early bedtime in the afternoon. All so I can catch enough Z's for the next bit. Which is waking up at 10 PM so I can get everything prepared for a session that stretches from 11PM Sunday to 3AM Monday.

I am understandably a bit of a wreck today.

Later on, after the backup readings, I shall call Mitre10 and ask

Sunday, Schedule Change and Recovery

I have an early bedtime tonight. Because I'm waking up half an hour before midnight tonight so I can take some lunatics through a dungeon over the interwebs for four hours.

I will need a LOT of caffeine.

Might have to buy another slab of Monster if this keeps up. I already have PLNs to acquire meds, but they can wait until my consciousness is no longer part of the equation.

So until then, I make my minimum offerings until the wrist

Saturday, No Parkrun, and Waiting For Spandek

I will bother Mitre 10 about the lack of Spandek sometime after the weekend. Parkrun is cancelled because flooding. We're still getting our hair did, all the same.

I forgot about that and washed my hair. Whoops. I will suffer the consequences with minimal complaint.

Offerings happening whenever. I'm trying to preserve my poor wrists, but it's not going well. I do have speech-to-text, but it's a minor pain in the butt.

Better a minor pain in the butt than a major

Friday, In the Wars

I have to take it easy. Both my wrists hate me, despite my stretchies. I still have nerve janglies in my right thumb, and my left got bitten by a pen when I put the lid on it.

To help with my offerings, I am installing some speech/text software.

That might help rest my wrists.

Or so I hope.

I also have a cyclone headache so that's promising fun. And tomorrow, I go do the First Timer's Briefing for parkrun. Wheeee.

Thursday, Physio, Spandek, and Ouchies

I have been reminded to do my wrist stretchies by a persistent pain in my right wrist. At least the container bite from packaging rice has healed. But I still need to wear the thumb splint because nerve janglies.

It's time to take off. BRB.

I return.

Even the physio can't figure out what the hell I did to myself. I shall continue with rest and being very careful with how I handle the household taps.

I also have to keep today's

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.

Food is

Tuesday, Patreon and Date Night

I have finished a chapter of ADT! Hooray. Since it's a number divisible by five, I now owe some recordings. BUT... because date plns, I'm trying to focus on the daily offerings first.

If I don't get to the nonsense today, I'll get to it... Thursday. Because I already have PLNs to go help MeMum with nonsense.

Whee fun.

I also need to find a time window to concoct something for the Archive. I have some ideas, but nothing's popped into my

Monday, Backup Reads and Shopping PLNs

The cats need food, the fam needs protein, flavour, and little things. I have a bit of a Leyland's Tour ahead of me, which will commence as soon as the group's done with the backup reads. I have five stops this time and I can only hope I have enough money to cover our needs.

I'm good at juggling finances.

When I get back, that's when my offerings shall occur. Which means I can focus on being Prepared(tm) for social time

Sunday, Game Nights and Interesting PLNs

I need to get more supplies for the fam. I actually left the house to get meds, today. Considering the backup reads, the plans with Beloved for Tuesday... and some in-fam tech issues... I'm going to be a busy bean this coming week.

Fun times.

I have my second loaf in the incubator and baking today. Yay. I forgot to turn on the incubator so I have to add another hour after the current timer runs out.

Whoops.

One more hour into

Saturday, Parkrun and Date PLNs

There's a movie called Mickey 17 out in cinemas now. There's another one called The Day the Earth Blew Up coming soon. Both of these are my personal must-sees. So we have a couple of date nights arranged. Yay.

I need to preheat the oven, arrange dough and shape at least one loaf. Since I have to get up at Awful AM tomorrow, I'll be doing my second loaf later on that day.

My shoulder's still giving me trouble and I've discovered

Friday, One Emergency at a Time Please

I have to make bread. I have found and ordered the spandek to fix the catio. One issue down. I discovered that I still get nerve jangles in my thumb, but not for the big things. I found this out when messing around with the bread incubator. But I can still handle my cane without janglies, and write with a pen...

So yeah. I started a second story in the Butcher's Book.

Relating to the title for today's blog... I had a

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

Wednesday, Catching Up and Relaxing a Bit

The good news is that my feet don't hate me more than usual. The bad news is that I have to wear a thumb brace on my right hand... because I did something weird with a nerve in there, last week, and an even half of everything I do aggravates it.

So my Butcher's Book goes without a contribution for another day.

I'm hard pressed just walking around with my cane. Writing with a pen is awkward at best. Honestly, using my

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
