Tuesday, Day 0, Patreon

Still not looking at the stats or the news, but I know it's not getting better. I just can't look, any more. It's giving me horrendous morbs.

Miss Chaos has supplies enough for more than a few lunches, and a sammich kit in case the hungries get her at school or if she somehow forgets to pack a decent lunch. Yay.

I still have to find a local source of fresh and unadulterated flour because waiting for it in the post is tenterhooks territory. Especially now with the plague messing everything up. I shall consult Beloved and then make bread with the healthiest stuff I can get my grubby little hands on.

Today is Patreon day. I have two TaleFoundry entries to share, more chapters to trickle down and ever more of Devil's Tale for my readers who love Koshdelia.

I still don't know where to put the World Anvil stuff... so I guess $5 tier since I don't really intend it to be widely known. I shall see what my highest tier donor is giving and put it there.

Goals today:

  • Patreon
  • Dungeon
  • Tags
  • One entry in Alfarell
  • Flour consultation

I have already accomplished a self-care, and aim for more. Days with the morbs? It's a struggle just to brush your teeth. This morning, I brushed my teeth and took my preventer. Huzzah.

Further on my self-cares today is having a salad for lunch and seeing how well I do on the OPEP sessions. So far, I'm up to two five-minute sessions on the light ball before I get dizzy IF I take my preventer that morning. One if not.

Almost time for stream. Let's see how far I can go.

Challenge #03326-I038: One Letter's Difference

The human is baking cookies and adds dried craisins (raisins made out of cranberries) instead of normal raisins. Needless to say, it becomes quite a hit as it's not as sweet as the normal oatmeal raisin cookies. Well, a hit with the rest of the crew, their significant other? Well, hey, for the first time baking cookies, they guess it wasn't too bad. -- Anon Guest

Monday, Day 0, Long Day Ahead

Still not looking at the infection news, but I doubt the numbers are doing any better. I doubt the world has got any smarter. Especially not about the gorram plague.

Still, the murder hobos got to do some murdering, though it was a close thing for a change. I gotta count the corpses and figure out the loot and then work out what the next step is. Fun.

But likely not today. Today my challenge is to stay conscious until the bus

Challenge #03325-I037: Deceptively Simple Spellwork

"Oh I'm going to hate this" muttered Wraithvine as they entered the town to drop off Slippery Sam. Amatu put the bell back in a pack that Wraithvine enchanted so only Amatu could open it, and, to avoid thieves, a curse on the pack so only those that had no intention on stealing it from Amatu could touch it without getting their hands proverbially "slapped".

Poor Wraithvine was going to endure a lot of discomfort while they researched why the bell did

Sunday, Day 0, PLNs and Plots

I'm still not looking at the statistics or the news. I just can't stand it any more. There's a reason why I stayed away from the news before the firkin plague hit.

Too many people making truly daft decisions for the lure of money rather than the greater good. Or because it's what they think their holy book tells them to. Or because cruelty's just in their DNA.

Too many people choosing to be nasty instead of figuring out where two kind

Challenge #03324-I036: For the Love of Dance

Re: [Can you please]

I would like you to write a story about a ballerina that begins ballet and finds their one true love. -- Tupper

There's a time of life where every small girl wants to wear a tutu professionally. To be entirely fair, tutus are fun and ballet looks so beautiful, and along with being a princess, ballerina is high up there on early girlhood aspirations.

It's the ones who are dedicated who learn about breaking in Pointe shoes, blood

Saturday, Day 0, Shopping Spree

I'm not doing plague news today. It's firkin depressing. Same reason why I'm not looking at the news. I have enough morbs without seeing how idiotic the world is being.

Today is a feast day, so at least part of my plns involve eating all the no-no's I can fit in my bod. Which may or may not be an endorphin booster. We shall see.

Chaos needs new shorts, she also needs to get her booster. So that's also in my agenda.

Challenge #03323-I035: Replacement Parts

It'd been a very hard week. All I want is to sit down and forget this week, to be honest. You're a therapist, you know what it's like? All I really want is a cup of coffee and something to read. Hey doc., when will my eyes be fixed? -- Anon Guest

[AN: Hey OP? OP? Ow... That's one hell of a kick in the pants. Well done]

Challenge #03322-I034: For Every Action

Master Twii hears of how well his students are fairing, and sees the footage of them defending themselves from deadly pirates.

It was perfect. A textbook example of how to use oneself as a fulcrum in combination with the enemy's impetus. The enemy, in this case a burly Human with too much ego and not enough brains, had a stunning revelation on the way through the furniture.

He changes into a werewolf after his beloved girlfriend has completely altered his containment chamber. No more chains. Before he can bite her, she starts stuffing food into his mouth.

"Y'all throwin' a party?" Of all the hazards they anticipated this day, neighbours had been the last on the list. "That's some good brisket you got there, but why no barbecue sauce?"

Challenge #03320-I032: The Thing About Patterns

The militant Viggins did as they said they would, and tried again, and again, to "make the perfect vegan world". And they failed again, and again, and again. After all, what was a home without PETS? And they failed time and time again. But each time alternatives were suggested, such as using bots instead of actual animals for pets, replica animals that didn't need food or water, simply recharged their batteries on sunlight, these suggestions were turned down. And each time, there

Challenge #03319-I031: Lesson Two

As Wraithvine was well into their cups, a very kind looking individual comes up to them to put a party hat on their head and give them a hug. As they hug Wraithvine, they whisper into the ear, softly, carefully, "I've likely been around almost as long as you have, though my immortality was accidental, a spell gone haywire. Like you, I've learned to use it to help those in need. Now, I intend to go with you, I'll follow, even if
