Today's the day I read the Fic o' the Week to my stream, so congrats to Dan for this week.

Also today, I am creating some bread so Miss Chaos can have her sammich kit for school. One of the loafs that I create shall be consumed fresh because fresh hot bread is firkin delicious.

What I still have to do is gather all of the nonsense and clear a part of the table so that I can make bread and, as I write this... everyone is asleep.

So I currently can't clank around in the kitchen/dining room digging up my nonsense and putting other nonsense in better places. Boo.

The good news is that The Legend of Vox Machina is out on Amazon right now. Three guesses how I'm spinning my wheels this morning.

One of my health goals today is to have three goes on the OPEP for five minutes each. It's a tiring thing to do.

In the news:

  • Tennis drama involving cheating scandal
  • Suspected murder-suicide in Perth
  • Australia has a new plague variant
  • Bridge collapses in the US, people form human chain to rescue people
  • Florida's "Don't say gay" law could kill people
  • Dude got locked inside an Aldi by mistake and filmed his exploits
  • There's another flying car now

and now I obsessively attempt to find all my bread-related nonsense. Quietly.

Challenge #03316-I028: The Difficult Concept of Free

The Phlorans heard a distress call, a actual distress call as a lifepod was shooting through the atmosphere from a ship that had been badly damaged from a micrometeoroid that hit what was, essentially, a ship made of the proverbial "chicken wire and string". They opened the pod to find an injured individual and managed, at least, to keep them healthy with printed foods, and clean water, but due to solar storms, could not signal out for at least a week or

Challenge #03315-I027: Do Better...

Wraithvine and the ones with them are called back to Lower Petraine. The runner had used scrying, along with a signal that this was immensely urgent, to let everyone know they were coming. Out of breath, especially using the swiftness spell to get to the gentle mage, along with Vee and everyone with them, hurried back to the village. Gentle Anthe was in hospice, age had caught up with her and she'd not long left. But, she wanted to see her grandchild

Challenge #03314-I026: Barge Versus Coracle

They were one of the worst Knomiras. Any time people said no to them, they immediately demanded to see the higher ups. No one was going to stop them from getting what THEY wanted! It was their way, or the highway! Then there was an accident, they demanded THEY be treated first! They shoved the person that they didn't even see, someone smaller than them out of the life pod and forced their way in. The person, a Havenworlder child, scrambled in,

Challenge #03313-I025: Cold Stone Inn

It's young Venin who points out the blunt obvious to these two adults, Kevin's got that bow that shoots those magic arrows, and the last time he experimented with it, he made the equivalent of a Hero's Feast. Did they forget as long as he's there with the bow, they'll never go hungry?

Challenge #03312-I024: Heart of Silicon

Humans study their past and how they viewed AI. How they had the fear of AI both being the ultimate slave where humans could live for the rest of eternity in leisure, and being the ultimate enemy, that would destroy all of human-kind brutally. And how the AI has shown to be neither, but instead, another kind of intelligent being that they needed to learn to understand. -- Anon Guest

Humans probably devote too much time to pondering how their own creations

Challenge #03311-I023: Eggshell Crack'd

Why did this happen to Lillian? Why did she have to suffer? Why couldn't we tell her the TRUTH? These were things that went through the priest's and the acolyte's heads. But the Old One had told them. The girl had been half-god long before she "died", her mortal self burning away when the mana took over. The world was changing, they had to be able to move the spring to new safe places when the dark magi came. She was the

Challenge #03310-I022: What Worries Most

Lilicoon talks to her therapist about the request for a date by someone she cares for quite a bit, and her fear and confusion because of it.

Lilicoon flexed her fingers in her current crochet piece. It was an instinctual comfort motion from the feline side of her genetics, and therefore unstoppable. Having something soft to flex her new hands in was a boon for her.
