Tuesday, Patreon and PLNs

So my Beloved has had the idea of us spending more bonding time together. She's a genius, of course. Last week was getting our hair done, which was expensive. Being chronically aware of a lessening of our funds means that I was seeking things that are free as well as fun.

We need more ppl to play D&D, and that can be an expensive hobby when you get down to it. Going on nature walks requires time to get to nature in the first place. Followed by walking. Which is not Beloved's strong point right now.

So I did some searching and there's an Arts and Crafts exhibit happening relatively nearby. We're going there tomorrow. Wish us luck.

I'm kind of already looking forward to next week.

BUT first I have to get through today.

I have figured out that if I add tags to the app, after I archive the day's story, then I can avoid having to log in over again when doing that. Which means I have to be quick about archiving and publication.

Motivation. Yay.

Now all I have to do is motivate myself to clear edits in Adapting. If I do one chapter at a time, I will reach the end of the book all the sooner. And THEN I have to buck up and make myself troll it out for agents and publishers all over again.

Feh.

AND I still want to delve into merch creation for incomes. BLEH.

So much to do. So little time for myself.

[AN: Nonny doesn't know that I don't use pictures submitted to me. Text only, dearies]

Do you know of the Nisse? They're what you might call House Spirits. Some know them as Borrowers. Some say they are House Trolls. Some call them names that are not polite. Sometimes, they are helpful. Sometimes, they are malevolent. Most of the time, they are mischievous.

They all have the same name, which is convenient for them.

Long Monday, Beware of Derp

It's been a fun game. The Warlock is learning that they can't use summons to build an army.

I don't have much planned and even less expectations. Long Monday makes for a very tired 'Nutter. I will be taking a nap at some point when the coffee and anxiety wears off.

For the meanwhile, I am simply awaiting the correct hour to get the rest of the family started for the day.

It'll be all I can do to look after myself.

Challenge #03339-I051: Ancient Human Traditions

I found one of your stories a few days ago, I've never heard of your work before and I have to admit, I'm hooked. Thank you, your work makes me smile when I am having a bad afternoon. I saw you want some prompts. So I have one.

Sunday, so tired

I have been irrevocably awake since 9PM last night. I do not expect much out of myself for the remainder of today.

Since tomorrow is Long Monday, I do not expect much out of myself then, either.

I did, however, get a whole chase scene down between my romantic interests in A Devil's Tale so I didn't waste my extra time.

My plans for the rest of today are:

  1. Post story
  2. Snuggle Beloved
  3. Catch up on sleeps.

Anything more than that is

Ricardo Carlos is a 34-year-old drug dealer. His dream is to be a successful kingpin in Vice City. He has been dealing drugs since the age of 10 and has been arrested in his 20s. He was an ex-Los Santos Vagos gang member. -- Anon Guest

Saturday, BREAD!

It's a feast day, and I'm already into the stroopwafels. I have bread planned for today and keeping my hair dye off of my hands is a S-T-R-U-G-G-L-E.

Fortunately, I have a back scratcher that is taking care of all the head-related itchies.

And whilst my bread-in-progress is proofing and rising and being Bothered... I shall be sharing The Legend of Vox Machina with my Beloved.

MUA-HAHAHAHAA...

...and attempting to eat my own weight in sugar...

So have a story. I had

Vesa Solonen is a 40-year-old career criminal. He is usually silent and doesn't talk too much, except in a very intense situation. As his last name suggests, he is still unmarried and keeps solo. -- Anon Guest

They call me Solonen because I work alone. It's not what you call a 'real' surname, but it is one that is all mine. The name on the official paperwork is Vesa Meikäläinen. What you Americans might think of as Vesa Doe. It is a

Friday, Organisations

So my news feed this morning has an Anti-Vaxxer trying to open a PLANE DOOR in the middle of a firkin flight. Apparently this numpty wanted people to record him going off about vaccine mandates.

What.

The.

Flying.

SHIT!

The good news is that airline has banned him for life and he may yet end up on a no-fly list. Sucks to be him I guess.

My PLNs today include the usuals, and may or may not get completed.

Challenge #03336-I048: You've Been Mothered

More of Kevin's Mum and company, please. -- Anon Guest

Many Tieflings name themselves for what they want out of the world. As a starving child, he had named himself Abundance. It was what he valued most, and attained least. It was the change he wanted to write onto the world, and why he went following after a Druid to learn their ways. A little mistletoe can work wonders, perhaps miracles.

Abundance wanted that miracle now, subtly and not-so-subtly healing his leg

Thursday, In the Wars

Those of you who follow this blog regularly know that I gave myself a papercut in my sleep. Without any paper present. Yesterday afternoon, I hurt myself more than a little extra.

In the act of getting the mail, I stood on a pile of cut grass that had gone rotten. Said grass slid out from underneath me. I went down like a sack of spuds and landed hand first on a concrete stair riser immediately behind me.

Firkin OW.

I tried

Challenge #03333-I045: Artistic Appreciation

Mr. Sunshine is sitting on leave at a fairly crowded, and quite pleasant, space station in the park painting a portrait of a pair of young kittens that were rolling around playing in the grass under the watch of the nearby mama cat. Behind him, there's a light clearing of the throat, and a young Havenworlder comes up to him and asks, politely, if he could teach them how to paint portraits, too. -- Lessons

Sunshine had to look twice. "You did
