Thursday, Catching Up and Shoulder

I didn't do my Wordpress, yesterday. I was out having fun. So I write it today. Huzzah.

If I have the energy, I shall take a garbage bag and whirlwind all of the tissues out of my room. If not, no loss.

I have to remember to be kind with me.

Beloved and I spent a lovely spa day. It came with profiterole mice. Imagine a profiterole with white icing on top. One part has been deliberately drizzled to represent a muzzle. Artistic icing to create nose, eyes, and a tail also exists. There are slivered almonds for ears.

The result is twice as derpy as expected and deliciously adorable.

My shoulder needs to be warm to get better, I have discovered. Allowing it to cool makes the knot come back, but not quite as worse as it has once been. I'm tired of the yoyo so my heat pack is going to be my best friend. As well as any insulation I can get my hands on, worn toga style.

Fun times.

I shall be building more dungeon buildings today. Chillaxing and keeping my shoulder warm.

Yay.

Story, Wordpress, and dungeon(s) ho.

Challenge #03370-I082: To Break the Cycle

The CRC hires Sensei Twii to write out new guidelines to help protect everyone at stations, since Twii so succinctly pointed out the flaws in the current plans. Twii works with them in tandem to make it easier for people to defend themselves, and offers to help the security staff by having them join the dojos, as some of his former students now, themselves, become teachers.

Wednesday, Spa-Wordpress

It's supposed to be Wordpress Wednesday, but it's also a Spa Day for my love and I so it's anyone's guess as to whether I can get that accomplished or nay.

Whatever happens... happens.

I may be late on the Wordpress stuff. Plotting to just enjoy myself during the Spa. Feasting on carby treats included. No guilt. Just chillaxing.

I might even get the knot in my shoulder unravelled.

I made a sort of seafood chowder, last night. Using the new toy

Challenge #03369-I081: Consequences of the Forgotten

Can we have a story about Wraithvine having to teach this doofus to be a "mini me" of him as it were? That is, since he was begging to follow hir around and basically learn to be just like them?

It's from this one. https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-03319-i031-lesson-two -- Anon Guest

Nobody trailed after Wraithvine like a lost duckling. There were things to learn and the eternal Wizard knew everything. Including the simple fact that there is more to learn.

Tuesday, Patreon, Progress

The skip is gone and so is a lot of nonsense from our house. Huzzah.

We have an ice cream machine and my first attempt at making something cold and yummy was loaded with fail. Whee. I shall try again with a lot more reading ahead.

Later.

I have had a messed-up trapezoid muscle for literal DAYS. But now we have a microwave heat pack that is doing good things for me. Slowly. At least I can raise my hand above my

Challenge #03368-I080: Unweapons Ready

A mixed class of Humans and other Deathworlders have joined a space marines corps within the Alliance. It's a lot harder than it looks, even for the Human cadets. -- Anon Guest

They say that war never changes, but the fields of conflict do indeed change. The arms race is one that cannot be won, only lost. Eventually, some smartarse invents the ultimate defensive capabilities and too much money is spent on looking for something that could get through it.

Firstly, the

Long Monday Once More Again

Somehow we managed to get a honkload of nonsense out of the house. The skip shall be going away today. With a full load of BS.

Today there is the Tale Foundry backup readings. Since the Foundry read my story on their stream, I shall be volunteering my reading skills to anyone too shy or too unpresent to read theirs.

We have new materials for the sullage system pipes and that will be going in at the end of the month. I

Challenge #03367-I079: Accomplished As Asked

They trick a CEO into signing over a planet that is extremely resource poor, about the same size as earth, and thanks to the CEO's hunting and fishing behaviors, almost completely devoid of wildlife. Once signed and delivered, the contract completely ironclad, they made sure of that, they immediately registered the planet under their name as an ALLIANCE planet, removing it from the Dereg empire altogether.

Then they got going renewing the wildlife and rebalancing the ecosystems. But this planet became a

Sunday, last day for unfuckening

The skip goes away tomorrow. That means that today is all we have to get the drifts of garbage out of the house.

It's also the day that I have the most irregular sleep schedule. Huzzah.

This is going to be "fun".

I will once more be streaming following the Tale Foundry readings.

Beloved had a lovely day out and the assembled peeps had a good old grouse about the state of politics. There was no gatekeeping, just a meeting of minds

Challenge #03366-I078: The Strawmen Are Fighting

“All women are QUEENS.”

“If she breathes she’s a THOT!” -- Anon Guest

Someone in the next booth turned about to face the arguing bros. "Thot? That's the type of woman who uses attractiveness to earn an income, right?"

"You can say ho' it's okay. We know all the words." They were relatively young men. Barely out of high school. The type of greasy pseudo-adulthood in which they knew they knew everything. Pitiful in their way.

"In a world where women

Saturday, Feast Day Out

Beloved is connecting with fellow LGBTIAQ+ people. In Mount Gravatt. So we have a smidge of a hustle to get there.

Fun times.

BUT also community is a good thing and I have to see if my nonbinary self is gatekept out of there. No hard feels. I kind'a feel a little bit like a poser when others have bigger problems.

Maybe I'll find someone else there who's also Gender Meh. Gotta give it a chance.

And now I have to get

Friday, Unfuckening and GREAT news!

Excellent news: The soup machine is a HIT!

It also apparently makes ice cream, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Right now, it has already made Beloved two large servings of... intense chicken soup. One was dinner, the other was set aside "for Ron". Aka Later-Ron.

A dad joke from a less civilised age, there.

I found a couple of resealable containers with steam vents, and they hold the right amount of soup. Huzzah.

I may be going out (AGAIN

Challenge #03364-I076: Disparity of Experience

A person develops an immense crush on Wraithvine and starts following hir around trying to ask them out on a date. -- Anon Guest

Love, as the Bards frequently say, is strange. Many people take it for a game. Not Wraithvine. Bernhardine Mev really should have known that. She also should have known that when a Human falls for an Elf, it never ends well for the Elf. It never ends well for the Human, either, but it generally takes them all

Thursday, Simple Exasperation

Beloved has complications with her digestion that has to do with her vagus nerve and diabetes, which may or may not be related to the troubles caused by one of her ex-meds.

A blockage in the stomach can cause spoilage which, in turn, causes diarrhea. Though the stuff I read about it was focused entirely on constipation.

I'm not sure, it wasn't explained to me properly.

Part of the cure involves a liquid diet "for a while" and Beloved has picked up

Challenge #03363-I075: You Made This Hell

A Deregger CEO, one who was CEO over all the other CEOs in a small empire ruling an entire solar system, four inhabited planets. Their blatant cruelties earned a cry of help from their people. That is why Sunshine and his apprentice Jay were here. To answer the call, and end the empire, their way. -- Anon Guest

Big Chief Dominic Roman liked to remind everyone that he was the Chief of Chiefs. The Commander of Chiefs. The owner of it all.
