Friday, Missed Connections and Disrupted PLNs

I spent ALL of yesterday waiting for a phone call from our financiers. I told them to call that day and they firkin didn't DO that.

Grr.

I still have to go shopping for better supplies, and that has to happen today because other shenanigans on other days. Yay.

I also have the usual unfucking to attempt.

I have, in the process of this week, learned that expecting two side-projects every day is a little bit rich for me.

Lesson learned.

I will consider double-project days to be Bonuses. IDK what kind of reward I'd get for having an arbitrary amount of Bonuses at the end of a week.

So if my financiers call today, I shall be very pissed off at them.

Also on my agenda today is securing a LOT of gravel for our swamp backyard in the hopes of making it not be a bog.

I'm a busy bean, today.

Challenge #04029-K011: For Want of a Nail

They're a workaholic, it seems. They were not a deregger, though their great-grandparents were. They just had this bad habit of working nonstop and forgetting to take breaks to rest once in a while. Problem is, this lead to health issues from overwork. -- Anon Guest

Generational trauma is a hell of a thing. As a Human Companion, it's vital to understand the contributing factors that create hazards to your Human's health. Thus, a well-trained Human Companion is the first responder and

Thursday, Head Above Water

I am not allowed to feel bad about only getting one side-project contributed to during yesterday. I am not allowed to feel invisible or under-appreciated because I get no comments on my works.

I am allowed to keep on trying.

I am allowed to be kind to myself and do things that make me feel good about myself.

BUT... I also have to go out and get fresh sets of supplies because things are running out or things have gone off.

My

Challenge #04028-K010: Orphaned Plotline Adoption

A creature, once evil, cruel, corrupt, now greatly changed, comes up to Wraithvine offering a white rose. A peace offering. -- Anon Guest

It had been at least a millennium since the last time they'd met the immortal Wizard. Zygorguk the Imp had received hir mercy and had their entire existence changed. For a start, they could never go back to the Plane of Torment.

Demons could not return to their origin realm if they appreciated kindness. It's all about the relativity

Wednesday, Wordpress and Tech Support

I am on the Leyland's Tour, today. Helping MeMum with making her printer turn on when the internet sucks. The leading suspect is a lack of internet connection or a direct connection to the computer.

Since I'm also due to write an essay about the fanfiction I just posted, my time may be a little bit cramped. Wordpress may be happening tomorrow.

I'll see what I can do about writing that thing on my journeys. GoogDocs for the potential win.

Results may

Challenge #04027-K009: Planet-wide Intervention

A: leave this forest you are a plague to the realm.

B: first off, rude. Secondly I’m just observing the night sky. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.

A: You are nothing but weeds that need to go.

B: look I can see that “Miasma” and “demons” are invading this forest why don’t ask the neighbouring kingdoms to help? Hell even the “Human” sacred magic might help.

A: the orc and dwarf are too brutish and drunk to help and

Tuesday, Patreon and Shenanigans

I'm off on a Leyland's Tour at an unknown hour today, and I'm already prepped for that much running around. Mayhem is currently sound asleep and I could not wake him enough to get the time of take-off.

I can only hope that he wakes up with enough time to act appropriately.

Meantime, I have made an important discovery about my self-maintenance routine.

It can take up to an HOUR. Two if I need more time to ease the aches and pains

Challenge #04026-K008: Socially Engineered

Don't be a bully. You have NO idea who, or what, might be watching. Do NOT be a bully, you have no idea how strong the ones you're picking on, despite them being much smaller than you, truly are. Just... do NOT be a bully! -- Anon Guest

Of all the small crimes of Human society, the most pernicious and egregious has to be the bad habit of bullying. Asserting dominance and some fragment of superiority by putting someone else down. Climbing

Monday, Forgetting the Self-Maintenance

This may be the last relatively idle day in what's looking like a busy week. I'm taking Mayhem to a thing to help him with work tomorrow. I'm going to MeMum's for tech support issues on Wednesday... and on Sunday... Beloved returns to this wide burnt land. Hooray.

I have PLNs involving a lot of hugs on that day.

I'm also plotting to do two side-projects per diem this week and see how it plays out. Whether or not I feel burned

Challenge #04025-K007: A Kinder Poison

A very elderly magic user has gotten a bit senile. Their grandchild begs Wraithvine to limit how much magic the elder can use so they're no longer a danger to themselves or others. -- Anon Guest

It's never nice to see a loved one fall to pieces. Watching Odasorin the Wonderous become lost in time and thereafter coming apart had not been something Aqirax had been willing to acknowledge until it got dangerous. After all, he loved his grandren[1]. And in

Sunday, Tale Foundry and a VICTORY!

Because I need napnaps, I count Sunday as my "light day". All I count for a win is writing a part of A Devil's Tale for this day.

If I do anything else today, that is also a win.

I think I should work on a map for a PLN'd game sesh with the rainbow crowd. Or two. Depends on my personal impetus at the time.

Chapter Count: Just wrote the first words in chapter 359 of A Devil's Tale. Which means

Challenge #04024-K006: Peacemakers Reunited

Fate was not done with Kosh, or his love, not by a long shot. They are reborn in two different noble families, and, as fate would have it, arranged marriages means they were fated to wed once more once the time came.

Saturday, Parkrun and Progress

I have finally and at last finished Chapter 358 of A Devil's Tale, the epic story of a devilborn whose love life has gone to hell. The chapter was dragging under the weight of shinier ideas elsewhere. [coughcough Astarion Baldursgate coughcough]

I am getting there, though.

Bit by bit, I shall reach the point in which the mandatory war happens, thence to be followed by snippets of Happily Ever After. For all the epilogues I planned when I was in the middle

Challenge #04023-K005: Couples Hobby Hour

Lilicoon teaches her best friend, Jay, how to crochet and some of her other hobbies. It's surprisingly useful later on. -- Anon Guest

It was, initially, a good excuse to get cozy together. And Jay would be the last person to admit that they were a little touch-starved. Snuggling in innocent ways with someone as soft and fluffy as Miss Lilicoon was a welcome balm to the wounds Jay kept giving themself.

They shared therapy sessions like that, sometimes.

Friday, DISASTER and ruined PLNs

I wuzgunna record a chapter of Adapting for a potential future need, this morning. BUT... those PLNs have gone to shit. Because I was "clever".

The long story:

  • Attempting to switch from YouTube to NewPipe on my phone
  • Required huge amounts of files to do that for some fucked-up reason
  • Couldn't get them piecemeal on my phone
  • Bright idea#1: PUT THEM ON MY GOOGDRIVE!
  • Overload the GoogDrive
  • Panic because still writing things
  • Still wanted to switch to NewPipe
  • Bright idea#2:
