Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Thursday, Meds Run

New script in hand, I shall be wending my way to getting more of what it takes to stay stable. Well. Relatively stable. But that can wait until the road trip to drop off Mayhem. More of a chapter will happen thanks to that wait. Yay.

Since I don't have to be anywhere else, I may actually have a chance to work on Pseuducku. Huzzah.

Miss Chaos now has two game creation programs and is in the midst of messing around and discovering things.

For a personal brain hack, I have managed to catastrophise the consequences of not doing my heel stretchies. If I fail to do them, they're going to stick a needle in my heel. Works a charm to make me remember to do the dang things.

If it's daft and it works, it's not that daft.

Challenge #04350-K332: A Preserved Year

An archivaas finds a large box from before the Shattering. In the large box are several diaries, records, and a hand-crank, antique, player. The children of the family had buried their dairies in the time capsule. The parents had added to it a player and records. Music not heard in millennia now graced ears once more, words of children still of school age, seen on the pages happily. -- Anon Guest

Time capsules were an absolute joy to the Archivaas. They were

Wednesday, More Experts and Rant

I have a divided day because experts in the middle of the afternoon. I know what's going to wind up in my extended rant for today, but I do not know when I'll be able to finish and publish that thing.

I know I'll get at least a couple of sentences into my novel because waiting room. Yay.

Meanwhile, I'm doing what I can whilst I can. Including my stretchies.

Moving on to an attempt at my Instant Story.

Challenge #04349-K331: Unappreciated Comparison

I feel utterly worthless.

"You're a weed waving among the brick and stone."

See? Worthless.

"You ability to thrive truly has shown."

What .. do you mean?

"Your strength, my dear, I'm so proud you've grown!"

There among the bare gravel, where there's very little that's green, a lone dandelion is visited by a butterfly. -- Anon Guest

It's easy to devalue yourself when nobody else finds you worthy. It's easy to not wish to be part of a world that hates you

Tuesday, Tech Support and Tired Bean

It's MeMum's birthday so she got free tech support - which included making her mouse pointer way more visible, showing her how to navigate her smart TV, and figuring out how to make DVD's work with that same setup.

Mission accomplished there.

Now I'm back home, I needs must focus on my offerings for the day. For tomorrow, I am back on the bullshit.

Looking forward to free time to work on other things, but I also need a lot of sleep.

Challenge #04348-K330: A Returning Memory

Even the smallest photo can bring back so many memories, especially when you're trying so hard to smile again. -- Anon Guest

"We've restored it to its original condition. Honestly, it was a miracle such fragile ephemera made it to this century. A miracle find, considering where it was found." The Archivaas went on and on and on about anaerobic bacteria and all the varied things that ate cellulose and assorted photographic chemicals in a landfill.

Shayde had stopped listening, staring at

Monday, Busy Week Ahead

Today, I have Physio. Tomorrow, I'm off to see MeMum for tech nonsense. Wednesday, I'm seeing different experts and so on.

I will attempt to get my offerings out in good time, but... Time is not on my side.

And I have to get at least eggs at some point.

I also have a phone with an expanding battery [Not my current phone, my old one] that I need to take to a safe disposal point. There's expired meds I need to

Challenge #04347-K329: First, Do No Harm

The deregger escaped their polity by fleeing onto an alliance ship. Their depression made them feel like cutting, but strangely? They couldn't find anything sharp. -- Anon Guest

I made it as far as an Alliance freighter. Hundreds did not. Every day, I heard about others who tried and died in the attempt. How many others' blood would be on my hands just because I made it? How many others would spend their value on a futile effort because less than one

Sunday, Game Night and Heel Health

I did need my cane to make it to my desk this morning, but the need of it is waning as the day progresses. Yay. The physio is working.

I just finished a session with my international maniacs and I'm about to take a nap the instant this blog entry is done. Offerings happening when I feel less dang tired.

I may get to Patreon posts. I may get to asking the GameMaker community about an error in the thing. I will

Challenge #04346-K328: Early Childcare

There's something to be said about need being the parental of invention. A small, sharp needle, some thin wire, and a lot of imagination can move mountains. -- Anon Guest

[AN: A little elementary research has shown me that the concept of a fastening device that doesn't hurt its wearer is older than you think it is. Look up fibula brooches. You're welcome.]

There's something to be said about loving another to the point of invention. Loving someone so much that creating

Saturday, Parkrun and a Movie

I made it roughly a quarter of the way through parkrun before I needed my cane. And now it's my friend until I can walk without discomfort again. In the meantime, I am literally cooling my heels with an ice pack from the freezer.

It is my sincere friend when my heel feels like I have stepped on a thousand legos.

Beloved, Adorable, Miss Chaos, and I went to see The Wild Robot and... I'm not crying, you're crying.

It's interesting to

Challenge #04345-K327: Home of Contention

They lived in a land where polygamy was common. However, this trio was ... shocking for none had seen the like. They were human, one of their loves was hellkin, the other was halloblood. And all three loved each other almost more than life itself. Now if only outsiders would stop trying to rescue them! -- Lessons

Pax, Amity, and Grace lived out of the way from most residents of Lauthiraux. They had a happy life together, not that many in Lauthiraux believed

Friday, Wet Weather

It looks like the rain has set in. Dangit. I was really trying to be well enough to do parkrun this time around.

I have been in the wars. Achey breaky feet, hot and cold running rhinovirii, and the Sneezin' and Wheezin' Season that NEVER FIRKIN ENDS!

I still got the sniffoos, but I'm otherwise functioning as human for the meanwhile. So far, so good.

Except Mayhem now has the Lurgi. Or at least, has succumbed to it. Poor chook. Soup and

Challenge #04344-K326: Just a Pause

"You're going to die if you don't stop."

I don't care I have to keep going.

"You've done so much to help everyone already. See? The crisis is now very well in hand."

But it isn't enough yet.

"Please, you're hurting yourself, your feet in in blisters, you're growing so thin, forgive us.. but if we have to, we'll make you rest."

This prompt strongly reminds me of this story. A person driving themselves to pain and possibly to a death that

Thursday, Attempted PLNs

I need to make a phone call to arrange a prescription. I also need to talk to the GameMaker people about the new errors after the last fix.

I'm working on improving a nursery rhyme featuring in the novel. I need hefty help from my writer's group with it because... I am no poet.

I'm going to get on with that after I'm back from ferrying Mayhem to work.

Meanwhile, stretchies and noodling about with meter and rhyme while I know I
