Saturday, Day 0, Still Fasting

I'm still staying away from the carbs for another week. There's two new cases, both imports. Twelve total cases, nine in hospital.

I'm going to go without carbs for as long as possible. I can already see my fingers deflating from all the water weight. Either Sneezin' and Wheezin' Season is almost over or the fast is working because I've been breathing easier these past few days. I am, however, still sneezing. Alas. I'll get to the other end of it eventually. Remembering to refill and re-activate the humidifier at bedtime helps. I forgot last night FML.

Today's PLN involves going nowhere and doing nothing. At. Firkin. Last. I've been all over the place like a crafting materials collection.

In the news:

  • Wish.com and other merchants of opportunity are selling "I've been vaccinated" pins with no requisite proof of vaccine. They're also violating the Geneva Convention by showing the red cross. Huzzah
  • AFL coach dumps wife for supermodel - why is this headline news?
  • Antivax mob could run and ruin Australia
  • Man invests $100K inheritance into crypto just as it crashes
  • Simple question and humane response saved lives from domestic violence [FTR it was "why are you crying" and then acting to help]
  • You can still catch the Plague even if you've had the jab. I believe it's because of all the mutant strains caused by Knomiras refusing to follow basic safety protocols
  • China's threats to Aus are apparently hot air
  • Cadbury finally releases Kiwi favourite - caramilk with honeycomb in it. They call it "Hokey Pokey" and it is my new personal nightmare of a carb whirlwind [also it's not technically chocolate because white chocolate is not chocolate]

I have a story to write, and then I am going to enjoy wasting my time.

Challenge #03053-H130: Wrong With Authority

They were a DeRegger CEO on their own private ship with the usual, mistreated, crew hauling a load of captured, unwilling, women to the new Dereg colony. The ship, trying to take a short cut by sneaking through the edge of Alliance space, went down due to several micrometeorites getting through, it happens when a person cuts corners on safety. The CEO learned quickly that, once on an isolated, if somewhat safe, haven-like planet, no way to force obedience and all the

Friday, Day 0, 1K Day

I changed my mind about making bread today. There's one new case, an import. Twelve total cases and eleven of those are in hospital. But that's not the reason why I'm not baking.

I'm not baking because it's been a busy and stressful week. I want to have one day where it's just the obligations of the day. Which is full enough with the Instant, the unfuckening, and the 1k writing goal for KOSTSS.

It's the end of the week and the

Challenge #03052-H129: From One Cog to Another

You can’t break a man the way you break a dog or a horse. The harder you beat a man the taller he stands. -- Anon Guest

[AN: Link leads to an audio clip from a video game where the quote is from (I think?) that is all edgy tough growling with a warning at the end]

There's a saying in the Edge Territories: You can only try to break a Human. This is a warning, not an instruction. Many have

Thursday, Day 0, Scam Day

One new case, an import. Fifteen total cases and thirteen in hospital.

Today, I have to remember another scam, and I don't think I ever got onto the whole Microsoft Refund thing that's still going around. I think I almost fell for a refund scam, but again I refused to play along because it involved logging into a website.

In the news:

  • Man dies of heart attack after waiting more than an entire day to see a doctor. This happened in Queensland

Challenge #03051-H128: The Little and Fierce

Actual quote from an actual three-year-old: "Children fight the bad guys! I sharp him with my little teeth!" -- Anon Guest

[AN: I did briefly play with the idea of this being a Pib line, thank you for wondering]

The universe is a big place. There's plenty of areas that haven't heard about the inherent dangers of Deathworlders in general and Humans in particular. Therefore, it's understandable that the same mistake can happen in several different places during several different time periods.

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress

Two new cases, both imports. Fourteen total cases, twelve in hospital.

There's a PBL meeting in which I shall share again the immense document I put together about what to find, where to find it, and how much it is when you get it there. Which means I shall need heinous amounts of caffeine because I have come over with Super Tired today -_-

I got a decent night's sleep. I don't get it. Maybe it's depression. Maybe it's Maybeline.

Challenge #03050-H127: Fate, Destiny... a Basket...

They had been born, and abandoned. This small child, a babe in the woods, taken in by others who found their odd appearance undaunting. Who did not care about appearance, all they cared is that they were a child and needed someone to love them. They looked like a tiefling, but had the white, soft, wings of an angelic. One eye a beautiful sky blue, the other flaming red. They projected strength, and kindness at the same time. They had horns, and

Tuesday, Day 0, Headshrinkery Ho

My normal routine is on the road this morning. I shall be working on the lappy as I go a-roaming. My shrink is in for some edutainment today.

Thirteen total cases, and eleven of those are in hospital.

Also today is the official beginning of me staying the hell away from anything close to a carb. I have been indulging too much in my sweet tooth and its been getting to my health.

Not looking at the news. I have nonsense to

Challenge #03049-H126: To Find a Good Teacher

They worked hard to find out who this person was. The one who could not be harmed, the one who never needed a weapon, they WERE a weapon. And once the person was found, the seeker, and their siblings, went to them and said, politely. "Please, teach us, we wish to be your students."

Monday, Day 0, Plots and PLNs

One new case today, an import. Thirteen total cases. Twelve in hospital. Pretty much the same statistics as yesterday. Stable is better than regression.

Today's pln involves cleaning up party mess because Miss Chaos turned 16 on Sunday. Lots of unsuitable food lying around. Including a big ol' platter of sushi.

Temptation...

I'm making a start on the next 3K in my novel, talking about pollution and corruption and whatnot whilst not actually getting on my soapbox. Have to have a chat

Challenge #03048-H125: They Don't Need Weapons

Anything can be a weapon if you’re reckless enough -- Anon Guest

[AN: For the unlimited version of this, check the collected works of Jackie Chan]

Humans. The aggressive warrior race who will go to any extreme to protect and enrich their pack. Any single one of them is capable of creating a phenomenal amount of destructive chaos on their enemy. When no weapons are available, they will create their own. Often in an instant. A fact not lost on anyone

Sunday, Day 0, Chaos' Birthmas

One new case, an import. Thirteen total cases, and twelve in the hospital. Still double figures, but smaller double figures than the previous normal. Miss Chaos is sweet sixteen and yet to find someone to love. Let her take her time.

She's already got new clothes of her own choosing, a fresh haircut, a money card[birthday card with cash inside], and a cake awaiting consumption. It's going to be a relatively quiet celebration.

In the news:

  • China's landed a probe on

Challenge #03047-H124: Free Time

"Human, you don't need to sleep every night outside of my door. This station is quite safe."

The human, looking upon the galactic while they sat upright in a chair, their lifesuit programmed to hold them in that position even if they fell fast asleep. "Two weeks ago my mother and I were dying dereggers. You saved us, I will protect you." -- Anon Guest

Humans, among many other qualities, are illogical. Those rescued from Deregger space have the worst logic. It's

Saturday, Day 2, PLNs

No new cases, leaving thirteen active cases, all of which are in hospital. I now have my hooks into a tradie and the deal goeth thusly:

  1. Acquire the materials
  2. Including the taps and stuff
  3. Call the dude and arrange things thereafter

Fifty bucks an hour, and it should only take a couple of those. Fingers crossed, but I have enough stowed away in case of the fuckup factor.

It's only after we have the new vanity that I will siphon off the
