[Current Mood | working ]

Good morning, world. It’s morning, Monday morning to be precise. It’s fucking raining, and that’s fine with me. Podrick did the standard fatbaby things this morning, alternating being a window-obsessed asshole with aggressive cuddling. The wind is definitely a thing today.

Sundays are usually puttering days, but yesterday involved a bit more because we were hosting dinner. Shawshank dealt with most of the cleaning stuff. He wanted to make shepherds pie, which worked out pretty well. We were able to prep a lot of the stuff beforehand. Shawshank made the potatoes, I cooked up the meat. I worked up some bread dough and we got that proofing on the counter. Between ingredient preps, we played games. Shawshank gave me the Switch and pointed to a small, awkwardly shaped spot of land and asked me to build him a go-kart track while he mashed the spuds.

I’m happy to report I made it through the thieves’ guild hideout. The platforms stymie me no more.

Dinner went off without a hitch, aside from the fact the asparagus wasn’t very tasty.

Today is Labor Day, and Shawshank is working holiday hours. I plan to double stream today, doing makeup on TikTok, then getting the bedroom ready for a few hours on Chaturbate. If Chaturbate doesn’t work out the way I want/hope, I’ll work on Fansly shit. I’ll figure out dinner later.

Good morning, world. We have gray skies in TinyTown this morning, the threatening kind. We’re up, enjoying coffee and contemplation.

I enjoyed my solo Saturday morning. I logged into TikTok and yapped while I put on my makeup. A few regulars stopped in, but they weren’t very talkative. I finished, killed the stream, and played “Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance” on the PS2. I made some headway in my quest to find the bastards that roughed me up when I entered the town, eventually locating and infiltrating the thieves’ guild. Alas, I’ve been stymied by their platform traps.

Shawshank came home after lunch, and we went out to the secondhand shop. Shawshank spotted a fabulous portrait of the queen during our Tuesday visit. I took a picture and sent it to my mom with the note “this would put Grandma’s portrait of the Queen to shame”.

Why did Grandma have a portrait of the Queen? No one has any ideas. It hung on a wall in her house forever.

Anyway.

I didn’t take it home on Tuesday, but it came home in my heart. By Wednesday, my brain was telling me to just walk up to the shop on Thursday and bring it home. The only thing stopping me was the fact I would have to walk the entire length of town carrying a portrait of the queen. As luck would have it, the shop was open on a rare Saturday, and we left, $2 poorer, with a large portrait.

I hung it in the bedroom.

Today is a puttering day. We’re cleaning and tidying because Shawshank‘s mom is coming over for dinner. She needs a break.

Good morning, friends. It’s a quiet morning at home. A chickadee is hanging around the front window, taunting Podrick. Pippin is on the table in the back, probably curled into a perfect loaf. Shawshank is working today. I remember waking up before his alarm went off, when Pod walked up my body for cuddles. When he left, I reset what I was listening to, and promptly fell asleep again.

Shawshank had yesterday off. We used the morning to drive out to Slightly BiggerTown and do the bi-weekly shopping. The drive started out cloudy, but the skies cleared up pretty quickly and it turned into a very nice day. Harvest is starting, and there were a lot of cows enjoying the last of summer. We battled some road construction in Slightly BiggerTown, eventually grabbed groceries, then made our way over to the dispo. I grabbed a bag of herb that will last for the next month or so. Shawshank bought a vape cart and talked about edibles with the budtender, happily picking up a bag of sugar free gummies for his mom. We stopped for lunch, drove home, and became sloths.

Since he’s working this morning, I’m going to do my Saturday #GRWM on TikTok. Later, we’re going up to the secondhand shop, because my keen sense of home decor said You know what The Flat needs? A big portrait of THE FECKING QUEEN.

Good morning, world. We’ve made it to Friday, and it’s a lovely fucking morning out there.

I had a good shift. The room was hopping, I was in a good mood.

I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I’m at least a B-level goddess at this point.

I streamed for 3+ hours, logging out when I started to worry my growling stomach might be heard on the mic. I fed the cats, fed me, then fired up the PS2 tonight, starting a game of “Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance“.

We have today off, and we’re going to drive out to Slightly BiggerTown for groceries and stuff. Sadly, the secondhand shop is closed today. We’ll be back home in the afternoon with lunch, and fill the afternoon with video games and sloth shit.

[Listening To | the shower is on and I think I should go wash myself ]

Good morning, world. Another gray morning in TinyTown. We’re up. Podrick has been an utter dipshit all morning.

I had another decent day on stream. I’d set shit up pretty quickly, but had trouble figuring out what to wear. First, the two pink items I wanted to wear didn’t match. Then, I couldn’t decide which of the pink things I wanted to remove. After a bit of messing about, I took off both, and changed everything. Between the clothing debates, I weighed my connection options: data or cable? I went with cable, saving the rest of this week’s data for tonight’s stream.

I’m starting to figure out what I want to do for Halloween. I don’t know why I bother, honestly. Last year I spent $50 on costume and stuff, and probably made about $6 that night. Granted, I had only started streaming a couple of weeks earlier and didn’t have much of a “show”, nor could I wear the entire costume because I’d have violated the TOS. I’d like to think I’ll make more this year.

After I logged out for the night, I made a sandwich and played some “Prince of Persia” for an hour or so. I managed to get past the part I was struggling with the other day, and made a little more progress. I made it to my next save point, then switched back to Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 for a little while. Shawshank was coming home, and I wanted something that wasn’t going to frustrate me as much.

I expect tonight’s shift will be a repeat of yesterday’s. I’ve been wearing my glasses while I stream, and they really like that. I’ll be on the speedy connection tonight, and I’ll wear something revealing.
