A 3600-post collection

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 nature in the first place. Followed by walking. Which is not Beloved's strong point right now.

So I did some searching and there's an Arts and Crafts exhibit happening relatively nearby. We're going there tomorrow. Wish us luck.

I'm kind of already looking forward to next week.

BUT first I have to get through today.

I have figured out that if I add tags to the app, after I archive the day's story, then I can avoid having to log in over again when doing that. Which means I have to be quick about archiving and publication.

Motivation. Yay.

Now all I have to do is motivate myself to clear edits in Adapting. If I do one chapter at a time, I will reach the end of the book all the sooner. And THEN I have to buck up and make myself troll it out for agents and publishers all over again.

Feh.

AND I still want to delve into merch creation for incomes. BLEH.

So much to do. So little time for myself.

Long Monday, Beware of Derp

It's been a fun game. The Warlock is learning that they can't use summons to build an army.

I don't have much planned and even less expectations. Long Monday makes for a very tired 'Nutter. I will be taking a nap at some point when the coffee and anxiety wears off.

For the meanwhile, I am simply awaiting the correct hour to get the rest of the family started for the day.

It'll be all I can do to look after myself.

Sunday, so tired

I have been irrevocably awake since 9PM last night. I do not expect much out of myself for the remainder of today.

Since tomorrow is Long Monday, I do not expect much out of myself then, either.

I did, however, get a whole chase scene down between my romantic interests in A Devil's Tale so I didn't waste my extra time.

My plans for the rest of today are:

  1. Post story
  2. Snuggle Beloved
  3. Catch up on sleeps.

Anything more than that is

Saturday, BREAD!

It's a feast day, and I'm already into the stroopwafels. I have bread planned for today and keeping my hair dye off of my hands is a S-T-R-U-G-G-L-E.

Fortunately, I have a back scratcher that is taking care of all the head-related itchies.

And whilst my bread-in-progress is proofing and rising and being Bothered... I shall be sharing The Legend of Vox Machina with my Beloved.

MUA-HAHAHAHAA...

...and attempting to eat my own weight in sugar...

So have a story. I had

Friday, Organisations

So my news feed this morning has an Anti-Vaxxer trying to open a PLANE DOOR in the middle of a firkin flight. Apparently this numpty wanted people to record him going off about vaccine mandates.

What.

The.

Flying.

SHIT!

The good news is that airline has banned him for life and he may yet end up on a no-fly list. Sucks to be him I guess.

My PLNs today include the usuals, and may or may not get completed.

  • OPEP sessions
  • Dungeon

Thursday, In the Wars

Those of you who follow this blog regularly know that I gave myself a papercut in my sleep. Without any paper present. Yesterday afternoon, I hurt myself more than a little extra.

In the act of getting the mail, I stood on a pile of cut grass that had gone rotten. Said grass slid out from underneath me. I went down like a sack of spuds and landed hand first on a concrete stair riser immediately behind me.

Firkin OW.

I tried

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

Long Monday, Disorganised today...

Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are apparently running the world. Ugh. I'm just waiting for it to bite some bums to be honest. I just hope they're not my bum.

I just played four hours of D&D that included familiaris interruptus [aka when the fam interrupts gameplay] and virus interruptus [aka: coughs and sneezies interrupting everything]. Fun stuff. Typical for an in-the-flesh game, too.

I'm going to do my story and attempt to stay awake until

Sunday and Shenanigans

Tale Foundry is doing its stream as I type. I spent most of my morning alternately watching Toasty doing amazing things with lines and blobs, and writing even more Koshdelia for funzies.

Descents into madness are delicious.

I have watched three more episodes of Legend of Vox Machina but I haven't spotted where they hid Matt Mercer this time. I shall have to find him. That little task will help me maintain consciousness until 4PM, when I must sleep before D&

Saturday, Day 0, Surrender?

The government is not making people check in any more. They don't use the app, they don't use the app data, and so many people just sail on by without checking in, it's criminal.

I keep feeling like everyone in charge is just sticking their heads in the sand about this damn plague and hoping it goes away. Nevermind the thousands who die of it. Nevermind the thousands who are incapacitated by it. As long as the money flows, all is well.

Friday, Day 0, Shenanigans

Still not looking at the news or the stats. I might be feeling better through wilful ignorance, but I am not there yet. Not at the top of my game.

Beloved got me a proper weighted blanket and for the first time in forever I did not wake up in the middle of the night with heat issues. I woke up in the middle of the night because the air was no longer circulating. I may have to get a small fan

Thursday, Day 0, STILL busy

I'm feeling a bit better about my place in the world this morning, but I know I'm still on recovery. So. No stats. No news. Just me doing my utmost to just achieve stability.

Speaking of stability, Mayhem is renewing his learner's permit, an event that I predicted. He's starting to realise that time and procrastination is going to bite him in the bum. BY having time and procrastination bite him in the bum.

...speaking of time and procrastination, I should focus

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress

Every time I even think of looking at the stats, I get the morbs. So I'm going to try not doing that tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Speaking of luck, I tried to get some testing done to be certain of my body chemistry, but the doc couldn't understand why I wanted all that. The tests the quack wanted to do were all for a certain thing and they have hoops to jump through and bleh.

So my beloved went and got them

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

Monday, Day 0, Long Day Ahead

Still not looking at the infection news, but I doubt the numbers are doing any better. I doubt the world has got any smarter. Especially not about the gorram plague.

Still, the murder hobos got to do some murdering, though it was a close thing for a change. I gotta count the corpses and figure out the loot and then work out what the next step is. Fun.

But likely not today. Today my challenge is to stay conscious until the bus
