The Archive is reading stories and I am attempting to focus on my offerings. Huzzah.
Mostly because there's a four-way tie between winning prompts this week.
I'll figure out the Archive Story when I know what we're all doing.
In the meantime... whatever the heck I'm writing today.
Deep Heat has done some magic on my knotted shoulders. I really need a Big Burly Someone to knead the tangles out of my bod. I shall continue to apply Deep Heat and hope for the best until I find someone to pummel the ouch out of me.
There's no twitchcast again this week. The regular host has caught a Lurgi.
So I have more time to think up the story for next week, and I plan on wasting some time today.

I am doing better. I can wander around without the cane, and in the brief occasions when I'm not wearing the brace, I am reminded why I need it with the odd little twinge.
I need to go shopping at some point because, once again, we're powering through the eggs and flour. My bread's delicious and Mayhem and I have developed the habit of
Read more »Beloved 'gave' me some Hot Cross Bun Fudge [aka: I bought it on her OK and she took credit] and she has some sugar-free sweets to help ease her recovery process. Adorable has some dairy-free chocolate so she doesn't get a tummy ache from cow juice.
I have a few little things to get to MeMum and it's looking like that might get done around Tuesday. Antihero - the nice bean running the writer's group - is feeling crook. Therefore the morning
Read more »Very fun session, this morning. Thanks to Sneezin' and Wheezin' Season, I had my Death Cough going throughout. But only because we were all having so much fun being mature and responsible adults, of course.
...which means that we were making the most cursed sex/poop/fart jokes the entire time.
I pln on making my offerings and then vanishing into the void. AKA the "real world". There to share space with Beloved.
I've already been on the nebuliser once today. I
Read more »The D&D stream went well. The bit I had prepared for the lols didn't fly, but that's okay. I had fun doing it anyway.
Finally, after a subjective age of errors, I am able to watch Dungeon Meshi aka Delicious in Dungeons, which is a fun anime about cooking and eating the monsters in D&D dungeons.
I shall be moving along with today's offerings and a sentence or two in A Devil's Tale. At a leisurely pace.
See
Read more »Apparently, I only need two hours' nap after doing five hours for the VTTRPG sessions early-early in the morning.
Yay, I guess.
I also discovered that real pasta needs heat and time to cook properly in the microwave, so my sleep-addled idea of pumpkin noodle soup with tuna was a wash.
I will find a way to make it eatable anyway because hungry and feast day.
Anyways, I shall make my offerings and thence vanish from the interwebs because cuddling my Beloved

Huzzah.
A hot bath may yet be in order.
The downside of going out for Bath Bombs is that I'll also have to wear the Torture Shoes because fucking bone spurs need correcting again. OTOH maybe the place isn't open by the time I'm done with my bullshit.
D&D news: I have technically finished the maps!
Read more »I am currently tucking into some egg-shaped chocolate, having already polished off a hot cross bun.
At some point, I will be setting forth with my Beloved to go fetch the landbarge back to our residence.
I owe y'all a twofer because I missed yesterday's offering. And fetching the car is kind of dominating my agenda processing skills.
It's that thing where you have an appointment at 3PM and end up doing nothing until it's time to go do the thing.
Yeah.
Read more »With good luck, I should be done with the Tale Foundry Backup Readings soon. Then I get on with the daily tale and the meme over on the Fediverse.
Thereafter, I shall do more set dressing, summarise a chapter, and tag a week.
Chapter count: Roughly midway through ch 247
I'm almost to the constant, consensual flirting, kissing, and all the other stuff. Looking forward to it.
So is my Beloved. Even though she's certain I'll fake out somehow.
Not a chance.
Read more »It's long Monday, and I woke up at 6PM yesterday. Fun times ahead.
I shall attempt putting my sleep alarm an hour further on and see how I go.
That's next week though.
Post-walkathon, there's two things my legs don't like: getting up and walking the first twenty steps thereafter.
I hope it eases off as the week passes on.
The upcoming Saturday walkathon is going to be "interesting" all the same.
I'm hoping to make it to 4K, but I might

I might not be able to stream story time. Either way, I shall be recording and uploading later on.
As per normal, I have no expectations for today. If anything gets done, it's all gravy.
So let's see how much gravy happens.
Read more »I have nothing planned for today and I plan on INDULGING in it. Zero expectations from myself.
I will be harvesting and feeding my Starters because I held off yesterday. But that's fairly leisurely as far as daily nonsense goes.
It's come to my attention that mental health needs to be maintained via breaks from stress. Amazing, that. We need to take a breather from high expectations now and again.
Today's my day.
I will not accept criticism.
This afternoon is early

Toasty had a day off today, so I got to sleep in until six AM. Wild. Considering how I conked out close to eight at night, that's a really long sleep.
Beloved is messing about with Sourdough! Of course they're doing it with all the most expensive kit and nonsense. I went to a dollar shop to get the least-cost stuff. Beloved went
Read more »Beloved got me a humidifier and an air scrubber for the bedroom and I woke up to PINK HANDS. After being blue-ish for a firkin MONTH, this is a marvellous breakthrough. Alas, they both make noises so absorbing this into my household white noise is the current problem.
Therefore the instant the stream is over, I shall be going for more nap.
It's also Mother's Day, so I should call MeMum and wish her a happy day. Then bully Beloved into calling
