how do you want to do this?

Good morning, world. I’m up and enjoying a coffee. Shawshank is up as well, but he just got a phone call from the boss saying the kid opening the store this morning never showed and isn’t answering his phone. He just took off to open, and is hopeful this means he’ll be home tonight.
Yesterday was another day. We drove Shawshank‘s mom into Slightly BiggerTown for a trip to the dentist. We dropped her off at the office, then drove around town to do the shopping while we were out. The secondhand shop was absolutely insane inside; we’re pretty sure it was the first day they had their holiday stuff set out. His mom wasn’t too long, and we headed back home once we had her back in the truck.
Shawshank had to go to work when we got back to town, so I set up the bedroom, and got ready to stream. It was a frustrating process because the cats wanted to assist. I’m ok with them in the bedroom during setup, as long as they stay out of my way. Pod started off on the bed, which was fine, until Pippin walked past the doorway and Pod gave chase. I redirected him to his laser toy and went back to setting up. He was fine for two minutes, then he was back after her again. I chased Pod off, and put Pipping up on one of her shelves, and closed the bedroom door, hoping that if I didn’t hear them, the setup wouldn’t be interrupted again.
I was wrong, of course. Podrick chased her down and pinned her, making her cry. At this point, I was all set up and just trying to get online, and I lost my shit. I burst out of the bedroom in nothing but a thong, and chased him around the house, slapping shit with a tank top. After winding myself up, I had to sit and try to relax before I could actually start streaming. Then, when I actually got online, it was dead. Chaturbate would randomly disconnect me, and the dudes weren’t coming into my stream. I’m experimenting with hashtags again, and it didn’t go well. At least I remembered to start the stream this time around.
I spent the rest of the night getting the second version of my new stream game tested out. There were a couple of little hiccups – my fault entirely – but it does work. The biggest thing to worry about right now is actual “gameplay”. It’s one thing to come up with a basic game idea and a rule set, but this is much more interactive, and really hinges on me running things more like a DM. A slutty, horny Matt Mercer.
