Friday, Unfuckening and extra PLNs

I took the kids early voting this morning. Mostly because I will be roaming all over the countryside on voting day. We did homemade democracy sausage thereafter. Cheap bread and cheap sausage ftw.

I have yet to clean the catio or feed my Starters and my ability to focus is at minimum. I'm going to start those important things before I get on the daily offerings.

I don't know if I will be able to do everything. I have socials tomorrow and a fascination with fun fics that keep diverting me.

I gotta find the motivation to focus on that nonsense.

Wish me the best. I think I need it.

Challenge #03938-J286: Cut the Right Way

As Jay's knife slid into his target's chest, the wild insanity in his target's eyes faded for just a moment. The being grabbed Jay's shoulders, looked into his eyes and said softly, honestly, "Thank you for freeing me, the nightmare's finally over." -- Anon Guest

They weren't always sent after the powerful fascistic type. Sometimes, they were sent after the cruel and unusual. Those beyond the CRC's long arm of jurisdiction. Those who could not otherwise be stopped.

Mengele-class psychopaths. Operating in

Thursday, Game Night and Cuddles

I have my Beloved for another evening, this week. I am making myself either one or many dinners with the slow cooker. I've got some pork tongues slowly stewing with the following:

  • Probably about a litre of cheap white vinegar [I measured all this with my heart]
  • About 2 tbsp powdered ginger
  • A pinch of whole peppercorns
  • A generous pinch of salt
  • 5 whole cloves
  • About 2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 2 granny smith apples, finely sliced
  • 2 litres of water

I had it

Challenge #03937-J285: Time to Save

Time is, in the Alliance, literally money. And many people work very hard to save time. However, when you are both the employee, and the boss, it can be hard, without gentle reminders, to avoid being a rather cruel one, at least when it's your own self you're bossing around. -- Anon Guest

Several words and phrases have changed in the Alliance. Since the Shattering, terms like "self-employed", "worker-shareholder", and "public benefit" have transformed into something new. Something a lot more truthful

Wednesday, Patreon and Date Night

Beloved has therapy this morning, so I don't get to see her until this afternoon. I'm already dressed up fancy for the night.

IDK what we're doing since we're out of moneys. Quiet night in, mayhaps. But at least I look good for it.

It's been an expensive pay cycle, this time around. I feel guilty for not working harder to get my books ready for flicking at publishers. But I can only do so much at any given time.

I shall

Challenge #03936-J284: Creative Creations

"Should the day come when even I'm not here anymore, please look after this database [DATA CORRUPTED]."

(who is this... Why is this message in my records...)

"Do you have something that's irreplaceable, [DATA CORRUPTED]?"

(irreplaceable... broken parts... can be simply replaced...)

"You'll definitely find it one day, [DATA CORRUPTED]."

(Such things... will only cause trouble...)

"When that time comes... You should leave this place behind" -- Anon Guest

Someone had made it, that was the only certainty. Someone clever. Someone rich.

Tuesday, Patreon and Sundry PLNs

I'm in the procrasti-nation this week. Just started working on the entry for the Foundry. I have NO idea where I'm going for the All Hallow's Read.

All going well, I get some quality time with Beloved tonight and tomorrow.

That's the highlight of the week, if I must be honest.

I have sore wrists this morning, so I shall be longer about my nonsense than usual.

Trying to finish up the Foundry entry before I get on with the rest of

Challenge #03935-J283: They Followed Him Home

A deregger wearing a collar and leash begged mr sunshine to be their owner. Why? Because their old owner had died at sunshine's hands and they were completely terrified of being free. -- Anon Guest

"You wish to... belong to me," said Mr Sunshine.

"Yes. I'm yours by conquest. They're the rules. I need rules. I need an owner. I don't know how to belong to me. It's too much."

Mr Sunshine knew his limits. "I'd be a bad master to you.

Monday, Reads and Resumations

I am going to make myself summarise Beauties and the Beastly this week. Get it done. Then I can work on the 2K, 1K and 0.5K-word summaries And then the 500, 200, and 100-word blurbs.

And then I get on with the next one. Ugh.

I'm recording more episodes for Adorable, doing the mandatory offerings, and trying to have a little fun with other stuff.

If I'm up on the pulse of the way things go, I shall be collecting Beloved

Challenge #03934-J282: You're Allergic to WHAT?

The Havenworlders meet a human who's actually allergic to chocolate. Quite the rarity. -- Anon Guest

There's an allergy for everything. Even amongst those raised on the same planet as the thing. One might easily believe that this is not a great survival tactic. Especially when the thing is really, really popular.

It can lead to some interesting times.

Solo Ships' Humans encounter no problems when it comes to curating their environment. They frequently have isolated kitchens in order to keep their

Sunday, Streams and Stuff(tm)

We didn't have enough to play VTTRPG this morning, so Fiver and I played BG3 together. Much hilarity abounded.

The PLN today is the usual PLN for every day of the like. Do the tale, take a nap, finish up the rest of the nonsense.

I'm very much looking forward to the nap, if I must be honest.

For the rest of the day? Farting about and chilling. The cake is gone so I'm off the sugar once more. Behaving myself.

I

Challenge #03933-J281: Dreams For Sale

I run two businesses, one open, one clandestine. My open business is running catering to the wealthy, deregger CEO's love me. My clandestine business is taking rescues from their worlds who want to escape, and making sure these rescues eat in a way the CEO's only WISH they could eat. I never charge the rescues for the food though, they deserve as much kindness as I can give them.

Both jobs pay, but only one of those jobs makes me truly happy.

Saturday, Parkrun and Further PLNs

More of the usual offerings, more of the usual work. Next parkrun, I am going to set my pace and let Miss Chaos try to keep up. She's due.

Little fink was running past me every chance she got. So next week, I see what she can really do. Mua-hahaha.

I'm almost finished doing the chapter summary of Beauties and the Beastly, which means that I'm going to be working on the 2K, 1K, and 500-word summaries thereafter.

Yeeps.

I'm going to

Challenge #03932-J280: A Drop in the Bucket

I'm violent, but I don't kill. I'm Pax Humanis, but I've never taken a life. My job is different. I'm a teacher. My methods are brutal, I've brought more than one of MY type of... student to the brink of death, but never killed them. They eventually learn though. It's an ugly job, but these b--rds need to learn, humans are NOT property, and are NOT to be treated as disposable. -- Anon Guest

So many think that Pax Humanis wades in

Friday, PLNs to be Busy

Cake for breakfast is one of the better perks of a birthday week. The cake is running out and should be out of temptation range very soon to now.

I'm not weighing myself until after the cake is gone. That just makes sense.

I'm going to do all the other things I normally do and repeat trying to make myself doing all the things I despise doing.

AKA: Summarising my dang books.

I'm going to save Rael for a rewrite. I got
