Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Friday, Freedom and Shenanigans

Beloved is OUT of the hospital, but she has yet to escape the swarms of experts there to be assured of her full recovery.

I mis-reported her arm as broken this whole time, it's "only" fractured. If there's "just" a crack in it, they don't need to put her in a cast.

IMNSHO there's no such thing as "only" fractured.

So. Full update on conditions:

  • FRACTURED arm
  • Broken jaw
  • with added plate and braces
  • which means liquid/puree diet.
  • A shoulder that may or may not need a plate
  • because said experts are waiting a week to find that noise out.

They've got her on antibiotics, a special mouthwash, and some really nice painkillers. They're also fine tuning her diabetes meds, because of course they are.

She's staying over at Adorable's place because it's closer to the hospital and cheaper to get a ride there/back.

I am going to have some coffee, take my meds, pack up my travel nonsense, and head on over. I will probably be more invested in giving comfort and entertainment than giving the internet offerings. Which just means more twofers when I finally get back to business.

Yoiks and away.

Thurdsay, Potential Visitation

I know where my Beloved is and in which hospital. As soon as I get permission to go see her, I am OFFSKI!

Which means that my usual offerings will be DELAYED.

Current total of her woes:

  • Broken arm
  • Broken jaw [now with added plate and braces]
  • Broken shoulder [soon to have a plate]

I just got permission to visit so I shall be gathering whomst wishes to see her. Either way, I shall prepare to read her several chapters if she

Challenge #03832-J180: Idea Unplugged

A: Humans apparently the shirts says peace defender and this one says virtue.

[shirts actual translation: I come in peace / I’m peace]

Human 1: (in whispers) I don’t have the heart to tell them…

Human 2: (also in whispers) Don’t, this gonna be hilarious when they figure it out.

A: Anyway I’m going to present these to my mate. -- Anon Guest

"Maybe they have figured it out?" whispered Human Vit as ze watched Companion Clem carefully fold

Wednesday, Wordpress and Other PLNs

Beloved is in the wars, and due to be out of hospital tomorrow. So that's the new Date Night(tm) this week.

IDFK what I'm doing with myself today.

I'm probably taking Beloved to a controlled environment tomorrow evening, all the better to ease her recuperation.

So the final tally is:

  1. Broken arm
  2. Broken jaw
  3. Added plate in the jaw
  4. Braces to restraighten her teeth

While they were in there, they took out some teeth that were just about gone anyway.

Challenge #03831-J179: Full Customisation Options

They had built a special building that was oblong and with shock absorbers to be quake-proof. This form they'd tested, heavily, in scale, on a quake simulation machine. But it was very hard to get their fellow Deathworlders to trust their design. Until a particularly LARGE quake, showed why the building was such a strange shape. -- Anon Guest

The floors inside were padded. All the walls were curved and all the doors were oversized arches. The buildings themselves lay on articulated

Tuesday, Great Upset

Beloved took a tumble off her scooter, last night. After much waiting and worrying, the semi-diagnosis is in:

One broken arm and three fractures in her jaw. We're still waiting for Experts(tm) to tell us whether or not she needs surgery for that.

It's going to be a long time in recuperation for my poor lovely, but she will survive this.

Now she, too, will feel the weather in her face. Not an experience I would recommend to be honest.

Challenge #03830-J178: One Wish Away

What is this? It's a Wish-Mirror. It shows you the hard, cold, truth to what will happen if you make your wish. It does not sugar coat anything. If you can live with what you see, then I will grant you a wish. But remember, you saw the consequences for yourself, so it's not like you have not been forewarned. -- Anon Guest

If you have a wish, and want it guaranteed, there is only one way to get it. It is

Monday, Continuing Meh

My eyes are tired, and I'm pretty sure that's just what happens when I'm off the Ashwagandha.

The alternative I'm using has yet to kick in and re-establish the energy I'm supposed to have when I'm on it.

It's day four [I think? I'm bad at counting] and this stuff's supposed to take weeks. At least there's no danger signs so there's that.

Rest assured that I WILL quit it at the first sign of trouble. I just haven't had any of

Challenge #03829-J177: A Bird Named Enza

All the magic users in a town are down with the sniffles. The stronger the magic, the worse they feel. Alas, even viruses can be magical. In this case, it's just another type of cold. People'll survive, it's just not comfortable. -- Anon Guest

The most common name for it was the Faekindred Flu since first it effected those whose ancestry hailed from Nanogh, the plane of magic. The local Hellkin and Hallobloods were also struck down, but prejudice rendered them less

Sunday, Sundry Shenanigans

I had adventures in Meatspace this morning that prevented me from doing the TTRPG stuff and the stream. Again.

Any audience I had with the daily stuff is LONG gone, so it doesn't really matter.

Not that I ever had that much of an audience anyway. But I digress.

It was a lovely day out except for two things. My feet and my knees.

I did find a couple of things while out there. Some for MeMum and one I decided against

Challenge #03828-J176: Shared Profundity

I saved their life, risking my own. As I lay, my broken body bandaged, I was asked, what did I want in return? After a long thought I said I wanted the lifespan of an Elf, and to become a librarian. When they asked if they could choose any elf's lifespan, I said that was fine. Here it is, a millennium later, and I, a mere human, have been working in this library ever since. -- Anon Guest

Saturday, Parkrun and further PLNs

My bone spurs are pulling bullshit on me again. I need to acquire some little thing to help me out with that. In the meantime, I'm wearing the Torture Shoes whenever I'm not in bed.

Blargh.

FWIW I need a piece of broomstick dowel that's about 20cm long so I can stand on it and roll it around for like five minutes per foot. Then I go sit and roll around ice bottles under my feet until they start to melt.

Challenge #03827-J175: With Justice For All

They were hurting the children born with horns, praising the ones born with wings. Then I became the new Lord of the town. The instigators of such behavior learned quickly I would NOT tolerate such. And all children, born human or not, were to be treated equally. And all citizenry, no matter what their species, were also to be treated equally. THAT is the new law of the land. -- Anon Guest

They call this place Havenspring. According to legend, it's where

Friday, Unfuckening, Parcels, and Sundry Shenanigans

I have cleaned out the catio. I have created and consumed The Bikkie. And I have learned that it's much better to cook the thing in an oven than to fry it like the guy in the tutorial did.

Baking a BREAD PRODUCT is better than frying it. WHO COULD HAVE THOUGHT!

After I'm done with the offerings, I shall go pick up a parcel. Then perhaps add some groceries on the way back.

THEN I can mess around on Satisfactory or

Challenge #03826-J174: One Good Deed

My people can tell quakes before they occur. I managed to warn people, everyone got out of the building, but the last two, one a woman with white fur, and one a human wearing red, yellow, and black braces I had to physically shove out of the door just as the shaking began and the ceiling collapsed. I'm trapped here in the rubble, I can't feel my legs, but I saved those people, so, no matter what happens to me, I'm glad
