Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

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.

As a direct result, I am streaming at 4AM and missing out on the Tale Foundry readings. I shall catch the VOD1 at a later time.

Because Capt S needs us today.

I will probably spend a large portion of the transit time in cat-napping, and internet SUCKS in Scenic Coominya, so I will likely be incommunicado as far as the interwebs is concerned.

I will try to take Devil's Tale with me. On my new lappy. I will NOT be taking the associated stylus because the method to keep it with the lappy is a little on the dodgy side.

The magnets are nice and clever and also weak as heck.

I don't have any arting programs on it anyway. Not yet.

It's unlikely that I'll write anything, BUT... if I get the chance, there shall be more terrible Tiefling yearning and stuff.

Wish me luck.

Challenge #03359-I071: Unforgettable Lesson

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,

Challenge #03356-I068: Not Only That, But You Get...

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

Wednesday, I'm Very Tired

Long Monday was longer than it had to be. It was a good thing I slept through most of Tuesday because our anniversary date night went minutes into the next morning, including a long walk in the sweltering evening because we were unable to directly access my car.

My knees hurt. I have chub rub. Yet I would not change very much about the evening. Maybe where I firkin parked. That's about it.

We had some excellent foods and watched an amusingly

Challenge #03355-I067: Diminished Concerns

They asked only that their injuries be treated and they be allowed to be on their way in peace, after saving a Pax Humanis Sanctuary Planet. Nope, not enough. The Pax Humanis decides to send one of their more experienced, and gentler - by their standards, individuals to go and work as a permanent bodyguard for captain and crew, if the crew and captain will allow it, of course.

Tuesday, Anniversary Gifts

Today is our Silver Anniversary! HUZZAH! And I already have the best gift in the world...

My Beloved is back home!

Oh it is such a relief. She has new meds prescribed to her by the doctors [since you were worried about that, Mum] and a schedule of check-ups and experts to make sure those meds are doing what they should be doing.

As said in previous blogs, one of her diabetes medications didn't work too great with being on Keto. The

Challenge #03354-I066: Another Go Around

Kal awakened in a land of mist. Glowing spheres, representatives of the gods, with their verdict. They were going to be merciful. They were going to give this man, who worked so hard to undo the crimes he committed, a second chance. His old partner was writhing in hell, but he may yet escape that fate. Reborn once more to find the path as a healer, rather than a killer.

Sunday, Madness Day

Beloved is improving from the worst she was suffering. Yay. I did have to run a mission of mercy for her so she could have peak comfort in the temple of misery.

I may or may not be going back today. If Beloved does not stop me, I am GOING.

The good news is that she's getting better. The medication that caused all the problems is now off her health regime. So no more return visits for that. Huzzah.

Challenge #03352-I064: Just in Their Nature

Amatu and Wraithvine have a long talk about the enchanted bell and the fact it so badly affects wizards like hir, in addition to the fact it is one of the most powerful artifacts Wraithvine's seen in their very, very long lifetime. -- Anon Guest

Out of Amatu's hands, it was harmless. Nobody else could make it sound like he did. It was also resistant to any kind of identification, which made it merely annoying.

"I mislike it," announced Wraithvine, having exhausted
