Saturday, Parkrun and Holy Days

I set out with the PLN to walk 2.5 kilometers without the use of my cane. Alas, my food quit somewhere along the 1.25-2 K mark, and I spent the rest of it limping along with support.

Better that than paying for it tomorrow.

Today marks the second week that I've been attempting to fix my messed up shoulder on my only. Heat and Deep Heat hasn't worked, possibly because nobody's available to do a good job on the dingdang thing.

I will eventually get help with it. Eventually.

In the meanwhile, I owe y'all offerings. And I owe myself some re-orientation in my assorted side project apps.

Tomorrow is egg-shaped chocolate day. Huzzah.

Challenge #04492-L108: Undying Love

"Please try to understand. I do not own you, you're not a hobby to me, you're not my pet. You're my friend. First one I've had in a very long time. I do not invite you to join me because I do not know if you could endure this life, and I only wish for your happiness."

Vampires, even vampire spawn, can technically live forever. It's understandable that they exist in lonely circumstances.

Friday, Erastide Commence

It's Good Friday today, and I have vague PLNs to get fish and chips at some point. Before that, though, I shall render my offerings for all of you, my dear readers.

The weather looks nice enough to maybe finally make the repairs to the catio. Fingers crossed that Beloved is able to be whisked away for the process. Powers only know if there's going to be clusterfucks on her end to put the kybosh on those PLNs.

There will be parkrun

Challenge #04491-L107: Important Safety Measures

All HUMANS agreed, after this incident, Stabbies were forbidden, well mostly. At least all the intelligent ones who cared about others. People loved their Stabbies, but now, the "blades" were soft rubber or foam with harmless, to as many as possible, red dye.

The news spread fast. The regulations were debated for a lot longer. Obviously, the Ships' or Stations' Humans needed enrichment and Stabbies were the lowest cost version of that. You

Challenge #04490-L106: For Love, Not Reward

She was willing to die to save the world carrying her god within. The team, and the god, however, were not willing to let her fade so easily, but, when it was over, what was left would need a lot of healing for her to be fully restored, a lot of rest to regain what was lost, and she'll never be quite the same again. Once you have harbored divinity within, even when recovered, you never escape being changed.

Wednesday, Unfuckening in Progress

I went and fetched Adorable before I even had my coffee this morrow. As I write, she's currently trying to unriddle the Wacom screen tablet. Task one of four:

  1. Unriddle the Wacom
  2. Whack OBS so the cam behaves its-fucking-self when I'm streaming
  3. Get Zrythm to play some GD sound
  4. Attach basket and rack to Chaos' bike

And because only one of us can fart around on my compy at a time, I'm doing my offerings from the Lappy. Yay.

I shall do

Challenge #04489-L105: Deep Down Farming

I'm a half-human with an unusual gift. Who am I? Oh just a simple farmer. What do I raise? Cattle? Oh no, too many monsters, though I can hunt those for food, giant boars and huge deer taste good. I raise Dire Spiders. The silk ensures clothing, money, and my gift? I can understand their feelings so I know how to ensure they have a comfortable home. -- Anon Guest

People up on the surface always make the same mistake about the

Tuesday, Technical Nonsense Ahoy

I have parcels to pick up, Adorable to fetch, and an interesting day ahead because unriddling whatever the fuck is going on with my software and hardware.

Adorable has tradies coming, so juggling the minutes promises to be some degree of fun.

I'm going to finish this blog entry, don some clothings, and then launch to get the stuff and then get Adorable.

Offerings when and if I can manage to do them. Maybe even including Patreon.

Update:

The Tradies turned into

Challenge #04488-L104: Trustworthy

Lilicoon has tea with her friends Jay and Mr. Sunshine. She laughs as she recounts her time as a "skitten-sitter" and some skitties decide to sit in the laps of the three, making it more amusing, and a good afternoon.

https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-04259-k241-volunteered-kitten-sitter -- Anon Guest

They had been amiably chatting about everyday nonsense when the half-grown skitten invited itself into her lap. Where it immediately settled to grooming her tail floof. Lilcoon interrupted her train of thought and

Monday, Backup Reads and Unfucking PLNs

The writing group didn't have much to discuss this week. I am wrangling a technofix sesh with Adorable, and given my messed up tech situation, I'm hoping I can bring her up to me rather than hauling my tech down to her.

Today, I shall attempt to focus on my offerings and then attempt to gain a logical bedtime.

Attempt.

And I shall see what the PLN is for tomorrow. Depending entirely on what Adorable opts for. I have all day for

Challenge #04487-L103: Quite the Collection

How long has it been? They were very slow learners to be sure, but this slow? But it was obvious, now, they WERE learning. Along the wall, other terrariums, others having to learn these lessons. Those that were well progressed got to start seeing others, those that were not? This family, it took a while, but their dedication to learn a new path, was now starting to be obviously genuine. About time though. Time to introduce them to others who were almost

Sunday, Another Embuggerance

I have been drooling over art tablets with draw-on screens since I learned they existed. It was recent kismet that allowed the fam to be able to afford one for me.

My dream come true! Except...

It doesn't like working with my OS (:

We have to find the proper drivers to make it behave like it would if I was running a Windoze machine or a Mac. Which probably means that I need to wait for a far more experienced grackle to

Challenge #04486-L102: Living Up to the Name

They had the ability to see trouble through their dreams. The brauniin village had troubles of illness, and no humans to aid caused depression. The came to the run-down house, what was left of it, to begin repairs. But each night they left out gifts of medicine, blankets, clothing, little beds, and other gifts to help treat the ill and show kindness. -- Anon Guest

[AN: Brauniin usually choose households or mortals to help and prefer to remain unobserved. This, therefore, is

Saturday, Parkrun Volunteers Soaked

It was a VERY wet parkrun, this week. I spent a majority of my volunteer time holding up my Bunnings Brolly for all the people coming in with their tokens. Yes folks, I signed myself up for token sorting.

I want to get my exercise next week, but if they need folks to help, I shall see what I can do.

In other news, I have a new toy to play with. So I'll be messing around with that at a later
