Thursday, Taking it Easy

I'm having a low expectations day, today. The minimum stuff from me shall be heading out, of course, but I am taking my leisure.

I've noticed that I'm a little bit frayed around the edges lately, so I'm purposely taking some time to relax.

Which I really and truly need today because I have yet another cyclone headache.

Yay.

Not.

I'm waiting for my painkillers to kick in at the moment, but I have some good news!

I made the cover art for my All Hallows Read story, The World Will Not Miss...

There will be a promotional video, but I'm not doing any more work on this thing today.

Today, I chill.

Challenge #04112-K094: Data for the Experiments

They enter a swampy area where biting bugs are a real nuisance. The bridges keep people out of the waters, so people can stay dry, at least, but ergh, all the BUGS!! But this is a good test for the enchanted repellants, they were asked to test them after all.

It was fascinating to watch, and Wraithvine watched it intensely. Biting bugs and midges approached hir and hir party, and veered away once

Wednesday, Leyland's Tour PLNs

So here's the plan:

  1. I put on my knees
  2. I make certain I have the stuff for MeMum
  3. I make certain I have the wrist bracers because no time for stretchies
  4. I feed the cats [MOST important]
  5. I have some caffeine and pills to see to my ills
  6. I take off to MeMum's for egg exchange, tech support, and probable journey to several shops during the day
  7. I get home and create my offerings if I haven't already done them in transit

Challenge #04111-K093: Consider This...

Could we have the trio meet up again and work together?

https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-03986-j334-outsourcing-horror -- Fighting Fit

The ones who hold their employees in stables with no beds. I've got them on my list. The ones who play psychotic games with any servant's heads. I've got them on my list, they never will be missed.

What continues to surprise me is the lists I receive.

It's disturbing for multiple reasons. One: the CRC knows about me. Two: They know

Tuesday, Patreon, Pill Hunt, and Bread

I've got the oven preheating for the second time, because I only had time to cook one bread, yesterday. So now I'm a few hours away from actually putting that thing in the oven.

...I think I might need to wash my lame. It doesn't seem to be working like it should. That's going to be interesting because getting sourdough goop off anything requires a decent soak.

After the bread's done and cooling, I pln on taking off to North Lakes to

Challenge #04110-K092: The Important Points

I run a school to teach new pilots how to fly their ships, how to work with the Gravy Drives and their caretakers, and all the ins, outs, and laws of owning and flying a ship here in the Alliance. I get to travel a lot so I really love my job, it's never boring! -- Anon Guest

The controls and simulator teach pilots the essentials. All the variants of controls available and how to interact with them properly. That can only

Monday, Shopping and bread

The Archive [aka Moth in the Archive] has a tummy bug, so there's no backup reads today. Which means that I'm free to take care of the groceries.

I'll start on the bread after I get back and put away the haul.

And, time depending, I might have to cancel the stream today.

Time will tell.

I've already been distracted by someone trying to shill their art skills for my twitch channel so... it's not looking that great.

I have my knees

Challenge #04109-K091: A Long Time Waiting

A being cursed, or blessed depending on whom you ask, with immortality. They want to join their family in the next world and, despite multiple tries cannot. They spend days and nights in sorrow. Then they meet Wraithvine and friends. -- Anon Guest

One thing they never mention about undying immortality, it's that recovering from otherwise fatal injuries really, really hurts. And if there's nobody to help you, you end up healing wrong, and it hurts worse.

Asking a healer to help

Sunday, Chocolate Egg Day

Beloved 'gave' me some Hot Cross Bun Fudge [aka: I bought it on her OK and she took credit] and she has some sugar-free sweets to help ease her recovery process. Adorable has some dairy-free chocolate so she doesn't get a tummy ache from cow juice.

I have a few little things to get to MeMum and it's looking like that might get done around Tuesday. Antihero - the nice bean running the writer's group - is feeling crook. Therefore the morning

Challenge #04108-K090: Go Forth in All Your Beliefs

While Wraithvine and hir companions are guests at a noble's mansion, the noble's mate asks if they will watch the children for an hour. Why there? There'd been a major out-wash of several roads, and they had kindly invited all travelers to stay in their mansion until it was fixed. They were ones that fully believed the gods blessed those who showed true kindness. -- Anon Guest

It was, indeed, a dark and stormy night. The wind howled so loudly that it

Saturday, Parkrun and Health Updates

I did well on the parkrun, but my feet hate me and my knees aren't happy, either. We shared lunch, I finished another chapter [401 and counting] and got to see my poor suffering Beloved.

When I heard that they were putting pins in her arm to keep it all together during the healing process, I imagined at most a couple per bone piece, all anchored in the plate that keeps everything in line.

What she got was half an Ikea's worth

Challenge #04107-K089: Truth and Consequences

An egotistical heir to a throne was lying to everyone about how they were "best friends with Wraithvine hirself!" and using that as a threat to get people to listen. Wraithvine finds out about the loose-tongued young teen and decides to make it so they have to be more....honest, whether they want to speak honestly or not. -- Anon Guest

It's technically well-acknowledged that an heir to the crown can take charge of their nation at the age of twelve. It's

Friday, Fish Day, and Moving Forward

It's Good Friday, so we traditionally eat fish.

I'm pulling my head in this week since I overspent last week, and thereafter only getting what we need when we need it.

At some point this afternoon, I shall take a leisurely trip to acquire fish and chips. But today... Mayhem wants to go shopping, I have a catio to clean, and five chapters to record for Adorable.

So my day's already packed.

I'm going to finish this blog and then take Mayhem

Challenge #04106-K088: The Most Difficult Choice

They abused the being sorely in their first life and left them for dead, but they didn't truly die. Now in this new chance, the being got revenge on them, but did not kill them. Instead, they got to learn what the being went through, and then, got to learn what compassion felt like. -- Anon Guest

[AN: This sounds like a follow-up to a past tale of mine, but this prompt was gifted to me in early December, last year. It's

Thursday, Today's the Day!

I got the operation date wrong. Beloved is now under anesthesia. I have now finished the 400th chapter of A Devil's Tale [and I think I've written a happy ending but that's up to Beloved].

And I am NOW going to write a nice letter for the first potential agent on my list.

That's just been done.

My heart is hammering.

I have four to six weeks to wait before pitching again, and I'm using the same spreadsheet to track pitching.

As
