Friday, New Routine and Bread

On the advice of my physiotherapist, I have a new way of working. It's a cycle of about two hours and twenty minutes. Two hours sitting up and doing things, twenty minutes with a cold pack juggled around the ankle. Ten minutes under, ten minutes over.

It's... workable.

I have enlisted Mayhem to help me bothering the bread. Just in case I have other bullshit going on.

The starter's incubating, I measured everything but the salt [my bad] and all is more or less in line for proceeding according to my time windows.

Best to get on with that.

Challenge #04575-L191: What Price a Wish?

All around the world have opened strange, white colonnaded buildings like banks or fancy law offices. Except these "Exchanges" are entirely empty save for shadows behind the frosted windows at the back who never speak. Here a lucky few can redeem gold lettered coupons for any wish the heart desires. Though the mouth had better word the request carefully, as those shadows listen carefully and there are no refunds... -- Anon Guest

They literally turned up overnight. On one day, it was

Thursday, Physio and Catching Up

Getting all my nonsense for the household cost me money and energy. So I'll be catching up on my videos at some point today.

I take off at a quarter to ten so I have a hope of writing some ADT before I get on with the rest of my daily nonsense.

I honestly don't know how I'm going to deal because my right heel has started stinging for no apparent reason. Fun times.

Adorable has a headcold, Mayhem has signed up

Challenge #04574-L190: Tools of the Trade

Barber/Doctor Tynmalin has handled plenty of sicknesses, carefully studying the humors of her patients and applying sharp things when needed. However this BD comes upon a delicate case of separating two conjoined twins which will test her finesse and medical/cutting prowess to the limit. -- Anon Guest

Some things are healed with a spell or a prayer. For the outliers in which power cannot help, there is surgery. A job for Barbers once upon an era past. Thus, the League

Wednesday, Rant and Shopping Due

My USB power hub expired last night. Fun times. Now I have one of those added to my list. I have to stop off in several more places than originally planned.

I have my knees and ankle re-enforced, yay, but as I was getting my doses together, my right hip decided to add to the fun times.

...yay...

My PLNs include fortifying my funds with a visit to the local Cash-4-Cans place. Just to have that little bit extra. If we need

Challenge #04573-L189: Literate Legacy

Opening a box belonging to a great-great-grandparent, they smiled warmly. This was truly a treasure. An heirloom beyond any they could have desired as an inheritance. Their grandparent had always been an avid writer since they were young. And what was in the box? Diaries. From the time their grandparent had been a child, into adulthood, into old age, and even a few weeks before their serious decline made it impossible for them to do more than sleep, and write in their

Tuesday, Patreon Stuff and Ankle Gambits

Today's theory is that my regular walking shoes are too heavy for my fragile, sprained joint. Which is why I might be getting nerve janglies when I put that thing on a cushion or up on my knee.

So far, so good.

I still can't sit up at my computer for extended periods of time, so my PLN for relief is (drumroll) taking napnaps.

I did make some arts, yesterday, but the protocol I used to share it with myself made it

Challenge #04572-L188: Heroism From Hubris

They were addicted to going into dungeons and trying their luck. The harder, the better. Their skills improved incredibly since they had been doing this since they were young. Of course, immortality didn't hurt either. So what happened to all the loot? There were several temples, hospitals, and care places that didn't have to worry about money thanks to their addiction. -- Anon Guest

Once upon a time, the story goes, there was a soldier who was unbeatable on the field of

Monday, Video and Ankle

I woke this morning [third time's the charm] with the sincere belief that my sprained ankle had finally healed. I could get back to doing my heel stretchies.

No.

I could not.

I aggravated my sprain. So I might be another week in the bracer. Powers alone know how I'm going to get the shopping done because it's always a Leyland's Tour.

I might have to do the driving and take a helpmeet to do all the running around.

Today, there shall

Challenge #04571-L187: As You Sow...

A corporate lawyer has made his fortune fighting worker regulations in Boston, breaking up union strikes in Sri Lanka, and sending Pinkertons to crack tree hugger heads in the rain-forest.

One day though he steps through the wrong, ethereal door and finds himself in the body of one of those he had fought, facing down the corporate guns.

Sunday, Anxiety Spike Issues

Dealing with issues does very suck. I got myself some mondo anxiety, I got the persistence of the nasty ankle, I got a firkin Bad Air Day going on...

I'm exhausted without even having started.

And I'm more inclined to call it a day early. It's been a terrible night and I'm looking down the barrel of a terrible day.

Fingers crossed things get better as time progresses.

Onwards to the offerings.

Challenge #04570-L186: Felt Idols

A toy shop proprietor sells plushie Cthulhu toys and cartoonish picture books, spreading joy to the children of his fair city in mockery of a century dead antiquarian.

Only, the toys begin whispering in the night, the picture books reveal quite starkly arcane hidden messages under moonlight, and one mother complains of a plushie leaking blood, the proprietor realizing too late what he's really been spreading... -- Anon Guest

The toys looked pretty cute. One of the selling points on the packaging

Saturday, Parkrun, Bad Ankle, and Sundry Nonse

I had to sit out parkrun because my ankle is still playing up. I may not be on my feet next week but I can hope. Thanks to that, I got the idea of gaining a camp stool to hold my bad foot up in relative comfort.

It's working gangbusters, by the way.

That, and some tabletop gaming took up a lot of my day. I don't mind. My social battery got a top-up and I am grateful.

Other business included getting

Challenge #04569-L185: Unique Vision

They had a gift for seeing through disguises. The gentle dragon guised as a gnome traveling with that wizard. At night, they gently said. "I see you, and your soul is so beautiful." -- Anon Guest

[AN: Dragons shapeshift, but I'm going with a similar idea]

Technically speaking, Arwen was blind. Hir parents had been greatly upset by the lack and prayed to Lenus, the god of healing, for hir to have some vision given to hir. Gods grant prayers in peculiar

Friday, Ankle Versus Video

I have five chapters to read for posterity, a couple of videos to edit - one for PeerTube, one for YouTube, and now that I've figured out how to keep my foot elevated... I also have Cursor to fight with.

I'll hold out for as long as I can, as my arrangement does things to my hip. Win some, lose some. I might have to sit out parkrun because ankle. Fun times.

...I'm going to catch it from my Physio because of
