* So here's the deal. I've been ridiculously short on sleep between RL stuff and some Longest Night stuff on Marsilikos MUSH. Events were scheduled to start at 1PM my time two days in a row, which meant having to do forage before hand. The events were good and productive, but ate most of my functional awake time both days.
I have RL Sunday evening things scheduled, for which I've done zero baking. (We are sort of doing New Year's a day early because scheduling). I've not done some basic online daily maintenance stuff for Sunday as of this writing. I think I caught up the crucial news, but have a million tabs open for less urgent stuff. I need to meet some minimums before bed, but likely not more actual work is going to get done until Monday evening at the earliest. I may or may not try to watch some Mummers online Tuesday. (Fucker starts at 6AM, and I'm not big on the comics, so I may try to switch sleep around to hit better parade bits IDK).
Please adjust availability expectations accordingly.
