Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Thursday, Simple Exasperation

Beloved has complications with her digestion that has to do with her vagus nerve and diabetes, which may or may not be related to the troubles caused by one of her ex-meds.

A blockage in the stomach can cause spoilage which, in turn, causes diarrhea. Though the stuff I read about it was focused entirely on constipation.

I'm not sure, it wasn't explained to me properly.

Part of the cure involves a liquid diet "for a while" and Beloved has picked up a bunch of soups and beverages. She's off the fizzy drinks because that complicates everything.

I am secretly going to be looking for a gizmo.

A dedicated soup machine.

I shall start locally before I try to get it online. There should be somewhere that has something of the ilk. I have a couple of places in mind, a few long shots, and yes I know this is more running around on my plate but... Thursday. I have the time.

I may not have the money, but I can at least price the bloody things.

"But Nutter," I hear you say, "what if Beloved reads your blog?"

Joke's on the both of us. Nobody reads my blog.

A Deregger CEO, one who was CEO over all the other CEOs in a small empire ruling an entire solar system, four inhabited planets. Their blatant cruelties earned a cry of help from their people. That is why Sunshine and his apprentice Jay were here. To answer the call, and end the empire, their way. -- Anon Guest

Big Chief Dominic Roman liked to remind everyone that he was the Chief of Chiefs. The Commander of Chiefs. The owner of it all.

Wednesday, Wordpress, Unfuckening, and Nonsense

Yesterday was A Day(tm). The difference between "a day" and "A Day(tm)" is that during A Day(tm), you get slapped in the face by Murphy's Laws. A lot.

So. Firefox kept crashing because of a search engine famous to Windoze users for eating up processing power. And I lost all my browser windows and tabs. AND I had to rebuild the bare minimums and keep it down in future or suffer the consequences.

As a confessed tab hoarder, this

Challenge #03362-I074: Mutual Fascination

Lillicoon and Jay are out on their first date, the gardens are truly beautiful, and cafe' is nice. And, ah, these poor teens, so nervous, at least they're smiling.

A trained killer and a former gene-slave take a walk where there is beauty and butterflies. The conversation is awkward and stilted. Each are terrified but for the same reason. Neither is terrified of the other.

In all other ways, including the

Tuesday, Shrinkydinks

It's difficult to work this morning since Jolie is making it known that she really really missed me by getting between me and my keyboard. Poor thing.

I have a shrink visit today, so she's going to be more of a sad baby about the whole pack of noise, and it can't be helped because I NEED my shrink today.

It's been a frazzling time.

We're in the process of evicting all the garbage in our house. My work yesterday was sorting

“The only way to break the prince's curse is by true love’s kiss.”

“Damn, y-you know the forehead would’ve been sufficient. I didn’t think you’ll go tongue deep.”

“Why didn’t you tell me then?!”

Monday, the long one

The murder hobos have yet another overpowered artifact. One I wanted the Warlock to have because power. And it's raised even more questions about what's going on with the eldritch god.

Today, I don't expect much out of myself. Because most of my energy is already expended in creating stuff and nonsense.

I have PLNs to take a nap at a later point today. At which point Beloved might have to take over the parenting stuff. I usually get conscious in the

They find Anthe's reincarnation, and this little imp is just as wild, as adventurous, and as fun-loving as her previous incarnation.

Kobolds, like Goblins, are remarkably prolific. Considering that their usual destiny is to end as a brief and crunchy squeak, this is entirely understandable. If they didn't breed like flies, there would be none of the species left. Whilst the Goblins have a complicated labyrinth for their departed souls, the Kobolds

Sunday, Complicated Day

So. Capt S is having a day in which she should not be without some fam nearby for comfort and succour. We have plns to visit her in the morning, because I need to sleep for D&D tonight, we need to get going ASAP because Capt S is two hours' drive away.

Just because a being is small does not mean they can't be a "Mama Bear" no matter their gender! When the family is reunited, or rather, the parents are found while their child is in ICU thanks to that knomira, well, small does NOT mean weak. And that knomira learns the hard way about hurting someone's kid.

Friday, Unfuckening Ho!

We have filled a skip with unwanted debris. We are getting a second, larger skip to fill with even MORE unwanted debris.

Then... we shall have SPACE. Space for stuff. Space to keep the stuff we want to keep. Space for my culch collection. Beloved is going to get us organised or wear herself out trying.

I'm helping as much as I can with all of this. I despise the mess we've made in our home.

I do have to move the

Thursday, A Day of Rest

We have been splurging Beloved's bonus and she has announced that she wants us to be equals in all things. Which means I get nice stuff when she gets nice stuff. I will no longer be able to sublimate my needs and go without for the sake of others.

Which is good for me in the long term. I shall be mildly scandalised by this for at least a year. I bet.

I have a new laptop to replace the old one,

Goods, chattels and cash, that a bride 'Came with'. What if this practice applied to Both partners to a marriage. (reading fun A Civil Campaign scene). -- KnitNan

The bride's family pays the groom's family to take her? That seems wrong. -- a slice of wisdom from ancient times.

For centuries, marriage was a fiduciary transaction. One half of the proposed relationship had a minimal say in the proceedings. One family was purchasing use of the uterus, and the other side was
