Tag: light posting

This was expected, mind you: we’re having electrician work done today, so everything’s been turned off. I’m using a half-charged Chromebook and a phone hotspot to type this all out. But it’s taking a bit longer than expected, so light posing until everything resolves itself.

Doing field coordination for an SCA event this weekend. I thought about vending books, but events are actually hard places for me to sell; besides, I’m going to be running around tomorrow with my clipboard, little red flags, and my new three hundred foot tape measure rolling thing. Because that’s who I am, now. I’m the guy with the three hundred foot tape measure in the trunk of his car, right next to the WD-40 and the bug spray.

I’ll be around at various times until Sunday.

Oh, sorry: ‘event steward.’ I don’t actually object to the name change. In a lot of ways it’s more reflective of what I’m doing with regard to this event, which mostly involves making sure that all the spinning plates fall down in the right order. It’s a collaborative effort… right up to the point where something goes wrong, and it’s time to me to The Trash Heap Has Spoken at it until the problem gets fixed, or at least becomes ignorable.

In practical terms all of this means that I’m going to be very sporadically posting until Sunday afternoon. Or possibly Monday morning, because Sunday may be a time of showers and unconsciousness. Responsibility is not something that comes naturally to me. I can do it, but I get really tired afterwards.

And thus that was what I worked on today. Thankfully, it was a lot easier this month than last month. Last month, I had to reconstitute the entire thing from scratch, using only an old template almost a decade old. Fun!

One that I’m actually working at, starting this afternoon and continuing all weekend. It’s going to be a busy time, so light posting. Hope the rain holds off…

I’m writing two things simultaneously on a deadline, and I need to stop ripping myself up about that. Once I have the first draft of the new novel finished I can relax a little, or possibly a lot. And, heck, it’s Christmas, right? I should lean into that. Maybe have some more eggnog.

It turns out that Reviewing audiobook files requires a heck of a lot more in the way of attention than I thought it would. I gotta buckle down and get this done if I want it done before the end of the month. And I can’t really do anything else, either. Whaddya gonna do?

…kids have a day off tomorrow, for whatever reason, so there you go.  No real reason for the trip, except that November/December are always hectic for us and I’ll feel better letting the grandmother and aunts get some kid time in.  Light posting until Sunday, basically.

I have five billion errands today and a writer’s workshop thingy tonight.  The latter is a bit of an experiment, but hopefully a successful one.  But everything I gotta do today requires time, so… light posting day.

Kids started summer vacation today, Secret World Legends started its anniversary event, and I’m off to the movies tonight with my wife. It’s been a kind of crazy day. Not a bad one, but a crazy one.

So, light posting.
