I'm trying to get everything else done, too.
Fun.
Challenge #01663-D202: Conceptual Difficulties
Defying the Gods is an age-old tradition. How well it WORKS depends on who's telling it... -- RecklessPrudence
"We're having difficulty understanding this," said Sherlock.
"I sympathise," said Rael. "I'm having difficulty understanding it myself, and I was there to witness it."
"We have the footage and the audio, of course," Sherlock played it on one of his multiple screens. "She had a permit for incense and steam[1]. What was she doing with them?"

Visiting relatives. In an effort to prevent the day-after colliwobbles, I'm packing my own food and drink. Two bottles of filtered water. Two bottles of Keto Sports. Boiled eggs. Cheese. And some chicken if Chaos hasn't devoured it all.
If not, there should be some salami sticks left.
If not that, then I'm just going to have cheese and eggs all firkin day. I'll see what veggies we have and do something with them so I can have fibre. This won't be

“Please do not destroy the irreplaceable magical artefacts, no matter how annoying they are,” -- RecklessPrudence
The Orb of Vexation chortled at Verski. With a sigh of regret, Verski put it back onto its cushion and re-sealed the Gate of Infinity. Finally, he turned to his tutor and said, "But why?"
"Aw, da diddle baba gonna cry," said the Orb of Vexation. "Waaaah, waaah."
Maester Kalrix conjured Cone of Silence over the Orb. "No matter how trying they are, these are important

I am not getting dressed [Well, not in street clothes]. I am not doing much past the Instant I do every day, and posting yesterday's Patreon stuff because I ran out of time and energy to do it yesterday.
But I deserve a break because I got the garage from this:
[Shown here: Garage space with the Tut's Tomb Before Carnarvon Got At It vibe]
to this:

Panic is for when the crisis has passed. -- RecklessPrudence
The human had her under their arm like a sack of grain. Which is about all that Zarkak felt ze had to contribute to the continuing shenanigans. Right now, the human was running at full speed towards the Vorax line with one arm outstretched before them and the speakers in their livesuit on so that the Vorax could hear the battle cry.
One day, in much quieter times, Zarkak would find out

Must to focus on my writing for as long as possible. I expect to be exhausted by tonight. It's a LOT to unfuck.
Wish me luck.
I'll need it.
And now it turns out I can't tag anything today. Thanks, internet.

[Scientist #1]: Where'd you get plastic explosives?
[Scientist #2]: Made it.
[#1]: It'll work?
[#2]: See, you don't worry if explosives work. You worry if they'll work too much. -- RecklessPrudence
V'tez considered their options. The downside of this situation was that they were trapped by a meteor impact and all methods of communication were cut off. There was only so much air, even in their livesuits. The odds of the ERT's finding them in time were remote.
And V'tez was working

I tried asking. I tried explaining. I tried flat-out telling my Beloved to do the thing.
Beloved.
Just WON'T.
Help.
Unfuck the garage.
I told them, because the cleaning company told me, that any extra time on the unfuckening in there would end up costing us more than the usual. I did not tell Beloved that I'd already taken money out of the other bank account to cover the cost of tomorrow.
Maybe I should have. I still have today. So does

Never annoy a sleeping dragon, for you are fat and crunchy, and taste good with BBQ sauce! -- Fliss
At first, she thought it was a lava flow. One of those ones where the lava ran under a relatively whole, cooler skin. It was warm enough to be one. Then she noticed the way it flexed rhythmically, and realised that, in fact, this was a sleeping dragon. Fire was their element and this black-scaled beauty was no different. Their skin luminesced as

I've just been informed that the garage unfucking will cost $90 extra, which I am taking out of the other banking account because (a) I have it there and (b) the way our budget is, we can't afford to do it any other way.
I also owe Mayhem more money for services rendered.
In health news, the soonest I can see my preferred quack is next Monday. The good news is that I haven't had a major asthma flare-up in a long

It’s like they used the power of righteous hatred the same way some people use the power of love. -- RecklessPrudence
Some hated him because he had committed treason and bragged about it. Some hated him because of what he had done to his wives. Some hated him because of what he said. Most hated him because of what he had done. They had cause to hate each other, but the hatred of the man who claimed to be their leader

This morning was havok.
I'm still doing Chaos' hair up in a series of chained topsy tails in order to prevent little creatures. And that segmenting, combing, and topsy-ing takes a fair whack out of my warning.
Getting Beloved to help out on a regular day is not exactly effective.
This morning, Mayhem showed me a fuckoff huge hole that he had in his pants. Right in the crotch zone. He'd popped the seam -I'm not asking how- so it was theoretically

Depression Tips: Kill the gods and eat their flesh to rise above human chemicals into horrifying immortality
...Sounds more feasible than “just think positive!” -- RecklessPrudence
People around Lase would later swear that they all heard it when she snapped. A lifetime of hearing people say, "Just think positive," will do that to you.
"You know what?" she said. "I'm going to summon an Elder God, kill it, and drink its blood so I can rise above the need for mortal chemicals.

I have barely had time for myself, of late. I have had time to turn around and fart, but it's been in little patches. I need a "me day", but I also need to unfuck the house, bark the kids into order, write the things, and sort other things out.
It's kind of exhausting.
I need a space to recharge, but there's just no window of opportunity before next weekend.
Which means, emotionally speaking, I'm running on fumes until then. Five days
