At this point, you might as well resign yourself to having late stories. The good news is the immense levels of progress that are happening in regards to household cleanliness.
The bad news is that I'm ratted after the whole thing. But it's SO worth it. We're making progress that I previously assumed to be impossible.
And that's why I have to leave you with this.
Smells, scents, can trigger memories. The hot tar smell of a Summer road combined with the distinctive scent of an Ice Cream Van. Opening a drawer and the scent your Grandmother always wore wafting up. Memories. -- Anon Guest
Humans can trigger their memories with an astonishing amount of things. Words, sensations in their pliable skin, sounds... and smells. They are so entangled into their senses that they have adapted their livesuits to give them sensory feedback from their surrounding environment.

There's a thing to learn about at Chaos' school, which is going to steal time from my other shit, and I have loads of stuff.
And I still need time to recharge.
Today is going to be "fun". Story is going to be late. I'm very busy.

There's Things and then there's THINGS!. The latter is a gigantic labyrinth of the former. There's also refreshment islands with ablution kiosks and Galactic Food Choices[1] in a mini-kitchen. People who go there tend to spend all day, and then bookmark their location so that they can come again.
Rael had set his personal

And because Michael Bay's stuff is so damn forgettable, I gave myself the task of counting every single blatant boob shot in the film, or when a female character's body got otherwise sexualised on screen. Thanks to Bay's love of Pervy Cam, I counted fifty nine shots where either of the two female characters were sexualised.
And this included a (clearly) underaged girl. She got six tittie shots and an uncounted

The humans had a word for it. They had a word for lots of things. This one was 'more-ish'. As opposed to 'moorish', which meant 'a human with darker skin, usually originating from a specific area of the largest continent in the northern hemisphere', this one meant that the person eating the thing found it so tasty that they wanted... more.
One such food, easily digested even by

Hell, as they say is other people. Especially when you are a school bus driver. -- Knitnan
The chant had started from the back of the bus. "We wanna, we wanna, we wanna wee! If you do not stop for us/ we'll do it on the bus![1]" The otherwise well-behaved kid in the front seat was singing X-1 Bottles of Beer on the Wall. The crowd of kids sharing music were singing both off key and out of sync. The people

...and this morning, it's blocked. Boo. Because copyright.
This now marks the SECOND time that I have kindly asked for permission to use the song in a thing. I'll send them an official email as well.
I'm not bothered because it was less than a minute of video

We apologise for the inconvenience, said the words in her head. We must quarantine you from reality as you know it.
After ten years of bouncing from reality to reality, the being who called herself Shayde had to wonder what these superior powers were up
Read more »I didn't do a gosh-darn thing towards my goals, yesterday. I had an enormous nap after I finished my writing. And a bout of intestinal disaster or two.
The good news for me is that that noise seems to be coming to an end. The really good news is that I'm a mere 5 kilos away from my goal weight of 70 kilos.
Not that I'm endorsing the Tummy Bug diet. That's just bad news. It's totally unhealthy, don't even think about

The ship's human took a moment to stare at Thorassik. "You and I have very different definitions of 'disaster'..."
"Yes! There is significant loss of profit in all scenarios, but if we die, the company loses the least."
"Well," sighed Human Steff. "I'm not about to lay my life down for the company."
"You are not a model employee," chided
Read more »I did three and a half hours of cleaning, yesterday. The other half hour was spent fetching Mayhem from school. My back hurts, I'm tired (but can't sleep. Such fun) and the house looks amazing.
I also have a case of the gut bugs from somewhere. And I haven't done that much different from my regular routine. Which means either (a) mild food poisoning, or (b) I managed to pick up something from the local shops that I never wanted.
Either way,

"But it's still an issue," countered Praal. "There are entire planets dedicated to hatred and spite."
"And you would stop them with more hatred and spite?"
"No, but--"

Read more »I have to get a lot of money out of the bank, this morning, because today is the day of a four-hour clean with my distractible self helping everyone out. That's part of the deal.
So, if today's story is late, please forgive me. I'm being knocked onto my arse by more cleaning than I have the spoons for.
I will try to slot it in, but 'try' is not 'succeed'.
And then I have to do 1000 words whenever there's the
