Sunday, New Years' Eve

I'm taking things easy and looking after myself today. Not pushing myself to do anything.

I shall make my offerings, write as the mood suits me, and maybe even attempt to watch the latest episode of Doctor Who, internet willing.

I haven't been able to watch so much as one minute every five, of late. Wish me luck.

I am going to reserve some time every day to work on my pitch kits for each of my books. Half an hour seems to be about right.

This marks the third year that I will be working on A Devil's Tale and I will need an extended holiday after I'm done.

Expect scads of fanfic that I'm already working on for de-stressing already sometime real soon now.

Onwards to what you're waiting for.

Challenge #04017-J364: Chaos in the Domicile

The parental is injured and their companion friend is trying to get a rambunctious 4 yr old into the bath. -- Anon Guest

"No, no, no, no, NO!" Kindergartener Eyn ran squealing through their domicile, bouncing off of anything and everything, including their Prime Rennie, Quie.

Who was currently flopped on the family couch, on heavy medication, and waiting enough energy to make it all the way to the matrimonial sleep nook. "Ow!" She missed the grab. "Menace... Mama's already had a

Saturday, Parkrun and Weather Woes

The weather outside is frightful, indeed. Miss Chaos and I did parkrun in the middle of Air Soup with a brief speckling of a shower in the midst thereof.

The rain absolutely POURED down on the way back home. Visibility minimal. Prangs a-plenty slowing everyone down to have a good old lookie-loo as they passed.

My power and/or internet my go out at any moment, since the rain is still threatening and the weather warnings are still coming in.

IF I

Challenge #04016-J363: Eldritch Custody

A: So you have three parents? How does that even work?

B: You might want to sit down. Ok my Bio-mom made a deal with a witch for arcane knowledge or something like that, while the witch didn’t know that she already made a deal with a demon to have his Child; which is me, in exchange for eternal youth.

A: How does that even work? Who do you live with? Who'd even have custody?

B: IDK they worked it out,

Friday, Unfucking and Internet Woes

The weather is messing with my internet access, which means that my activities are sincerely curtailed. We had a blackout, last night, and didn't get power until the wee small hours of the morning.

It stepped on my ability to play VTTRPG with the rainbow gang, and because I accidentally unplugged my lappy. I'm sure you can imagine what torture it was to be unable to write anything for hours on end.

The lappy is fully plugged in, now. Charging merrily away.

Challenge #04015-J362: The Bright Side of Severe Injury

They lost their legs in a wreck, honestly didn't remember the wreck, when they awakened in the alien's craft. Oddly, without pain. The first thing the Aliens asked, what did their feet look like so they could replace them? How kind...wait what?? -- Anon Guest

"My feet are badly engineered. Honestly, glad to be rid of them," Human Funz. "Ever heard of bone spurs? Fallen arches? Rheumatism?" He counted these off on his fingers. "I had nasty things happening below the

Thursday, Shopping PLNs

Today's usually a day of rest for me. BUT...

I need to get cat food. I need to pick up a few little things. I need to make sure we have enough.

Enough bread. Enough butter. Enough eggs. Enough cheese. That sort of thing.

I have to wait for Costco to open before I get going on that. And it's going to be hot as balls today. My goal is to get what we need and get back into the AC before

Challenge #04014-J361: Benevolent Reformations

A kingdom's literacy rate is less than 30%. The new rulers want, need, to improve that. Why? A literate, educated, population is a population that can help pull the kingdom out of the rut it's fallen into. -- Anon Guest

Pax Infernus was changing the world. Not just with a peace between realms, nor by banding together against mutual threats. This time, they were changing the world by helping within the allies' infrastructure.

Some joined just for the help that Pax Infernus

Challenge #04013-J360: An Unusual Affliction

Wraithvine, Gikka, and Bibrid disguised as a a small imp enter a kingdom where runners are swiftly going through the cities looking for a strong healer to heal the princess. Unfortunately, the situation is dire as her injuries from the animal attack are infected and getting worse. Sadly, dealing with royals is something that terrifies the immortal healer.

Wednesday, Let's try this again

Rain, cloud cover, and thunder and lightning... all of these band together to screw with out internet.

We're expecting rain and I can only hope that I get a twofer out today.

I also have to edit my anthology because my issue with counting struck again. Missed a digit between 151 and 153 and now the count is off.

Fun.

I have some more gravel for the boggy patch in the yard and I'm praying we don't get hail again. The blankets

Challenge #04012-J360: Everyone Should Have a Fish

The kind hearts at the school learn to make the treat so that children, like young Kormwind, can have them.

Tuesday, Boxing Day and All the Fun Times

I got bogged trying to return my car to the shed, got a neighbour's help getting it out and safe, and I now have some lovely wheel holes in my lawn.

Other than the bogging event, we had a relatively quiet celebration with all the usual things. Gifts, tableside debates, and WAAAAYYYY too much food despite my best efforts to prevent that happenstance.

I went overboard on the acquisition side. Again.

BUT we have plenty of unsuitable food to nom on. For

Challenge #04011-J359: Hush Now Darling

The parental finally finds their way back to their friends and their child, but it takes a while.

https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-03884-j232-mind-this-for-me -- Anon Guest

Three to five days was the estimate, given Alliance average response times to emergency signals. The CRC didn't get to them until eight had passed. Eight days of discovery regarding infant Deathworlder healthcare.

For a small flock of Havenworlders, it was stressful.

Four of them were not enough to take the place of one Human

Sunday, Christmas Eve, Quiet Company

Traffic was relatively sane on the quest to fetch MeMum, though there were enough dangerous drivers to alert Mum all the same. Something something, panic about the holiday death toll.

I was a supremely careful driver, today. Making absolutely, positively certain that nobody would hit us.

We arrived in one piece with only a minimum of shrieking. So now it's time to chill and enjoy each other's company for the duration.

Apparently, my slow-roasted ham is already driving Mayhem into a crazed
