Saturday, Parkrun and Further PLNs

I aim get the buttons sorted out this afternoon. I have the mock-ups to go off of when I do all of that. I have the assets ready. I have the instructions. All that's left is a few minutes of jiggery-pokery.

All that's standing in my way is my inhibiting terror that this will all blow up on me. Again.

I've had so many setbacks on this thing that I'm overdue some setforwards.

But before I get on with that, I'm doing parkrun with the fam, having some brunch, and reading to Beloved. And Mayhem wants some social time at some point so that adds to today's fun.

I'm a busy, busy bean.

Have no fear. There will be my usual offerings at some point today.

Challenge #04394-L010: Consequences, the Ultimate Lesson

Don't piss off that quiet, small, human reading her book. Small doesn't mean meek. -- Anon Guest

Sooner or later, civilisations learn the reason behind the saying, Watch out for the little guy. Some unfortunates insist on learning it again and again. Such as the two schoolyard bullies observing the local nerd in the library.

Neither of them could pin down exactly how or why the nerd became the school's favourite target. "Being weird" was generally excuse enough.

There was currently no

Challenge #04393-L009: Fluffy Puffy Omnicidal Vengeance

A human brings two very fluffy, but small, dogs with them. These dogs become the pirates' worst nightmare when they attack the ship. -- Anon Guest

On first impressions, they looked like amorphous blobs of fuzz. One black and one white. Only when they woke did they seem to sprout feet and, in the case of the white one, little beady eyes. Portions of the floof oscillated as Human Ela called their names.

"Mune? Nux? Heel."

The snuffling fuzzballs were no bigger

Thursday, Further PLNs

Today, to further my PLNs for Pseuducku, I'll be making certain I have all assets necessary to proceed. That may take all my allotted Pseuducku time today.

I also need to get into my Patreon and share all the things accomplished since the last time I posted.

I don't even know how much I have to share. I should check up on such things.

When I finish my stretchies [and a bit more of ADT], I will be getting on with all

Challenge #04392-L008: Memorial Ceremony

Why, my human friend, do you shed tears, and raise a glass, alone like this, every year?

"Because, my kind rescuer, there are so many of us that didn't get out of there in time." -- Anon Guest

It was time, again. The same day on the calendar of the world that Human Kie had been born on. Companion Wes kept watch on that calendar, all so he could keep watch on Kie and hir ritual. To make certain ze didn't end

Wednesday, Rant and PLNs

I am definitely going to share some thoughts about the game, What Remains of Edith Finch. I also have goals to acquire things to make a different kind of bread cutter guide for Miss Chaos.

Step one - finding a small wooden bread board for cheap - has been a bit of a stumbling block. If I get my nonsense out early today, I shall try some other venues to acquire the necessary materials.

The idea being that, if slicing bread vertically

Challenge #04391-L007: Lives in Her Hands

They were quite close to me. They have so much magic potential. I have no magic, no money, and no knowledge on how to help. Please kind elf, help us? -- Anon Guest

It is known, even amongst the most simple, that those with magic in their blood or bones will leak it. Happy baby Elves sparkle. Upset infant Hellkin make the shadows writhe and the walls bleed. And a neophyte Sorcerer... well. It depends entirely on the origin of their power.

Tuesday, It's Been...

One week into '25, we're each hoping we all get to stay alive...

Okay I'm done riffing on Barenaked Ladies.

Yesterday's Leyland's Tour was cut short because (a) I forgot my prescription, and, (b) I could not find a cheap breadboard so I could create a different kind of bread cutting guide.

I'll get back on that track tomorrow.

I am now a proud owner of a better, firmer knee brace. Which is tight enough to control my patella but not tight

Challenge #04390-L006: Life (Fast) Cycle

"How in the name of all the POWERS can you live in a place this cold?? You do know that it's well below freezing and temperatures outside could even make you HUMANS die in a few hours!"

Yeah, true, but it's quiet here. And it's only winter for 9 months of the year. The other three months are beautiful! -- Anon Guest

The world is silent, dark and deep. As the poem once said, I have promises to keep and miles to

Monday, Backup Reads and Leyland's Tour

The cats need food, I need to find a knee brace that will keep my kneecap in one firkin place.

The cloth ones are good for bad days, but one particular knee is doing things worse. I might ask about non-thermal knee sleeves while I'm there.

Australia's hot enough without thermal knee sleeves -_-

I tried the spicy sardines this morning, and they're not that bad. My fears of the spicy are dwindling.

When the reads end, I shall be offski

Challenge #04389-L005: 'Tis But a Scratch!

Human, why is there a long, red, gash across your hand??

"Oh, that's just a scratch don't worry, already treated it."

But it looks enflamed!

"Yah, we humans do that when we get small cuts like this, it's sterilized, and treated, but it'll look bad for an hour or so, then heal right up." -- Anon Guest

"Are you certain? An injury like that should be inspected by medical. Just to be sure it won't get worse." Companion Gine bobbed in concern,

Sunday, Game Night Accomplished

It was a fun one, this morning. Lots of laughs, a few bits of strategy. More than one fuckup on my account. But the important thing is lots and lots of laughs.

I've had a good lie in this morning, so this afternoon is devoted to my offerings and then unriddling what's going wrong with my updates.

That promises to be "fun".

But for now, I get a wriggle on with everything you expect to see.

Challenge #04388-L004: Comfy Cosy Calm

A cup of hot, havenworlder safe, chocolate, a crackling, if simulated, fire, and a warm, quiet, room with my best friends chatting and playing board games. This evening is just what I needed. Maybe I'll take a nap. -- Anon Guest

What many people didn't expect from such lunatic Deathworlders as Humans was - they knew how to relax. They engineered supreme comforts and even tailored them to accommodate their companions.

Such as this cozy environment. Just cold enough to warrant wrapping

Saturday, First Parkrun of the Year

I've packed my pills, my headphones are fully charged, I have my knees on and I remembered to cool my heels before I tied my shoelaces.

I think I'm doing pretty good so far. Despite feeling very, very tired.

I will for sure need a cold pack when I return home to make my offerings. All the better to make sure I can shamble around the house for my varied needs.

I don't know why, but my heel is protesting this morning.
