It was a VERY wet parkrun, this week. I spent a majority of my volunteer time holding up my Bunnings Brolly for all the people coming in with their tokens. Yes folks, I signed myself up for token sorting.
I want to get my exercise next week, but if they need folks to help, I shall see what I can do.
In other news, I have a new toy to play with. So I'll be messing around with that at a later time. After I've made today's offerings.
Best to get on with that.
While ze could not stay due to promises and the heavy hand of Fate, sometimes Fate decided to give a kindness and let hir stay for a time to visit the young children. They were growing healthy, strong, and were as close and as protective of each other as any family could wish. They also were learning the lessons of kindness, and how to care for others as well.

Tomorrow, I have to get dressed, go place, and do thing. Again. But today? I am taking it easy. Well. Relatively easy.

Two bovines, three equines of varying sizes, a collection of ungulates, and a gently-swaying elephant. After that, the species available were diverse, bizarre, and generally accepted to be as dangerous as every imaginable hell. The Humans looking after the animals probably explained it all.
The saying went, If it's too big to fit in their house, the Humans will try to ride it.
This was not

I have chapters to read and record, the usual offerings, and maybe catching up with Weird Writer Wednesday.

Let's see how far I can go.

I'm trying to branch out, get my works seen - or heard - by other audiences. It took me a while, but I've found some arenas that might welcome my short stories and I'm trying them out one by one. I might dig up one of the older ones I'm proud of for a scifi podcast

Despite their own injuries and exhaustion so profound they could barely even see straight anymore, they had only one thought. They could not let these two die.

It did, and it did have to be thrown out. I enlisted Mayhem for help, had to clear a path [it's a big chair], and bent my thumbnail backwards in the process. Ow.
And I have PLNs to go shopping today.

Now that the compy is back in place, I have to defend my keyboard from the cats. Because removal and restoration stirred up my desk debris.
This is only slowing me down. I'll be getting on to the offerings shortly. Of the

So my plans to have an early night and run a game are shattered. My plans to make my offerings and tool around with things are also in shards. Now I have to get dressed, go place, and do
