Thursday, Physio and Shopping and Fun

I have physio this morning, the household has PLNs to unfuck the interior. With one day reserved to do one thing as much as possible. I started by putting on a load of washing. I got Chaos rounding up some of the more offensive debris in the laundry room so I don't risk breaking my stupid fucking ankle to put another load on.

There's only a few things I need to get today, so there's a passing chance I can actually save some dosh.

Laugh now. Save time.

And I need to start bread again, but that's happening tomorrow. Along with the rest of the PLNs

Story shall be happening after I return with my haul.

Meanwhile, I have fun with words in other areas.

Challenge #04728-L344: Downtime After the Fray

It's been a long slog, the marines were tired, battered, and just tired of it all. They finally got the word, they were going home. One soldier said all he wanted was a nap, and his favorite snacks. Several havenworlder medics, and some level 1 and 2 deathworlder medics, asked the humans, what kind of snacks? -- Anon Guest

"Roasted, salted cashews," said Marine Blem, who had literally rolled out of her battle-rated livesuit and had yet to extract herself from the

Wednesday, Rant Due and Other Errands

Mayhem ran through the eggs in the effort to make mayonnaise with the wrong oil (: So my agenda today includes an emergency shopping trip for even more eggs, some bulk olive oil, and more firkin wholemeal because the fam is definitely powering through my bread supply.

I may be cooking Crimbo bikkies and bread if I'm not careful. I'll see how I go, closer to the teens of the months.

Fingers crossed.

Meanwhile, I am attempting to do the things I need

Challenge #04727-L343: Earned Adoption

The human family wept, for illness robbed them of being able to have children. The kobold warren nearby decided to trust them and brought a nest of eggs. They loved the young kobolds as deeply as they would their own flesh and blood. And the sorrow was turned to joy. -- Anon Guest

The good news, such as it was, was that Hirren and Aldin had survived the mumps. The bad news was that it had stolen the young couple's ability to

Tuesday, Patreon and FML

Breakfast was delayed this morning because someone used the last of the olive oil and didn't inform me about it. So I had to send Chaos up to the local Woolies for some more. Turns out Woolies overcharges for oil.

If Mayhem complains, he can go down to Aldi and get a big tin on his own money.

I have things to send out to my Patrons today, the offerings to gift fresh to my audience, and perhaps some free time to

Challenge #04724-L342: Free as a... Prince?

Wraithvine and anyone ze believes will help with the task (possibly meaning no one) must infiltrate a ball and rescue a prince from the clutches of his evil (yet, alas, overwhelmingly popular and powerful) Queen Mother. All without being recognized or exposed during the escape, and before the clock strikes one in the morning, for some reason… -- Deathshead419

[AN: Pure evil requires dedicated choice, and I don't believe anyone living is pure evil. Not even in fiction. They have motives and

Monday, Backup Reads and Stuff

I forgor what day of the week it was (((: I seriously thought it was Tuesday. I was planning to do Patreon stuff and all.

At least I have more ready for the day, I guess.

The Promptcast has two casts so I've dipped off the Archive reads to watch the Promptcast, and I still have the last week to catch up on. I aim to be doing that today.

I don't mind getting stories out of order.

Meanwhile, drawing friend is still

Challenge #04723-L341: La Resistance

An undercover agent deep behind enemy lines. The radio is broken. The phones are dead. The gun is still warm, the crime scene fresh. And the contact is 6 hours late. Has the agent been double crossed, left for dead, or worse? -- Deathshead419

Good news, bad news, good news... Good news, the gun still had ammo, and she was smart enough to pick it up with gloved hands. If the occupiers were looking for clues, they wouldn't find a hint of

Sunday, Streams and Stuff

The Archive is reading stories, and soon the PromptCast will be reading stories. I have new sandals (yay) and some half-baked PLNs to alter the old ones.

And I have reverted to writing just a little of ADT first thing on waking up. It keeps things moving forward. And increases my chances of having a chapter complete for my Patrons.

My story shall happen in between paying attention to the streams.

The good news is that there is now a fix to

Challenge #04724-L340: One Weakened Link

Whilst in the woods, (alone or with someone(s) at the author’s discretion) Wraithvine comes upon a dying man, a double-crossed messenger with an arrow through his chest. He begs Hir to deliver his letter. But, a dying man is not necessarily a righteous one, not all treasons are unjustified. Wraithvine must decide if fulfilling the promise is correct, and ze does not have much time… -- Deathshead419

On a road less traveled, more of a deer trail, there's only a

Saturday, MOR Shopping GDI

My sandals have fallen undone for the last firkin time, so now I'm on the hook for getting another set. And also attempting to find them is going to involve wearing the shit set because they're the only set I have.

At least I can get one to stay on if I wear the ankle brace. Sort of.

I also have bread in progress so I may even wait until the first loaf of the day is done and the next is

Challenge #04723-L339: Unburied

Sluggish movements, unable to think, and forced to work for eternity by a Vodun Sorcerer. Zombies, a metaphor for the nightmare of every slave. After decades of distortion, it would be fitting to tell a tale in the mold of what happened to those unfortunate souls like Clairvius Narcisse… -- Deathshead419

[AN: I usually don't mess with RL people. So this entity will be legally distinct from that person]

I am... stuck. I know I was someone, but I can not remember.

Friday, Emergency Dash

Miss Chaos needs more slobwear. And hefty instructions on how to make her clothing last. Maybe re-enforced with some parental haranguing.

I also need a mouse to make my lappy work because the trackpad has decided it doesn't like me. I have what I call "Random Clickitis" that calls functions/things I had never wanted. Often while I'm typing.

Adorable is trying to help me out by extreme remote - she's in Melbourne with Beloved doing a meet&greet to organise

Challenge #04722-L338: Not the Best Laid Plan

When the conspirators are trapped, their plans come to ruin, someone has to be responsible and that one will have to pay the ultimate price for stupidity… -- Deathshead419

It had been a simple enough plan of sorts. Assassinate the new Earl, gain the favour of the old Earl, and perhaps that of the favoured son. It may even gain them the favour of their liege lord for removing an obvious problem. Others who knew of their plot insisted that no good

Thursday, Chugging Along Slowly

I know what the next prompt for the Archive is, so I've written that story far in advance. Now I just got to trim it town to the allotted amount of words.

No pressure.

The catio is fixed, at last. Necessitating a trip to Bunnings to get the aviary clips, but it was done yesterday afternoon and the cats are once more secure indoors. Huzzah.

[Shown here, a mesh patch over existing mesh, held on with crimped aviary clips]
