They never showed up to do the inspections which is what I wanted. I've got a craving to make chili so I'm going to go to Trader Joe to get meat and tomatoes and peppers and stuff later. Also I decided to go to the Parkway tomorrow and I'm going with a friend to the DeYoung day after tomorrow and then we're going to go back to my place and go swimming.

[#301 | Lost in the Woods]

Challenge 301:
LOST IN THE WOODS
Maybe it was supposed to be a quick walk to the other side of the local forest. Or was it part of a much longer journey, one that everybody knew was dangerous? Either way, something hasn’t gone to plan. The path is flooded or overgrown; the maps are old and out of date; or maybe our protagonist just has the worst sense of direction in the world, and now they’re lost.

Can your characters find their own way out, or do they need to be rescued? Is it a minor blip in an otherwise easy journey, or a potentially life-threatening error? How do they handle it?

Write a story about getting lost in the woods.

BONUS GOAL: “We’re not alone! There’s bugs!”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!


Challenge ends Monday, June 8 at 9:00PM EST.

They didn't show up for the inspection yesterday although I did see them out the window, I hope they don't come in my apt today at all but I have to wait here for the next 8 hours. I got my laundry finished yesterday at any rate.

As long as I'm stuck in here for six hours because of the damn inspection I might as well do something useful so I have two loads of laundry in the dryers right now.

Thanks everyone on your comments on the last checkin; fabulous to see so many people making small progress. I do not have the oomph to reply individually, but I wish I did.

Instead! It has been a little over a week since the last checkin, and time for another one. What is one small win you have had in the last week in making your house a home?

Quick note that post-by-email and comment-by-email is (sometimes?) failing silently without actually posting right now! I'm pretty sure this is related to last night's shenanigans and will be fixed once Mark can finish the full fix for it, which he's working on, but if you've posted or replied by email in the last 24 hours, fish it out of your sent folder to check if it posted!

EDIT: This should be fixed as of around 7AM EDT! We *believe* everything that was stuck in the plumbing has been sent along to your journal or the comment thread it was meant for; it's definitely not where it was stuck anymore, at least.

It's hard to write about an advanced reader copy of one of the most coveted science fiction releases of the quarter. I tried, multiple times, to collect some thoughts about Platform Decay, the latest release in The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. I failed, every time, because my love for this series is immense, but also hard to quantify. Finding the words to describe sincere emotions? Ugh. Therefore, Platform Decay is already out, and you can read it now via your library or favorite indie bookstore!

Platform Decay is the eighth entry in The Murderbot Diaries, following our hero as it stages a high stakes rescue on Corporate Ringworld. It's working apart from its usual allies, it must infiltrate and escape the station with several squishy humans, and oh right, a former enemy asks for its help, complicating the extraction. Nothing can go wrong!

(Things immediately go wrong.)

To make matters worse, it's also dealing with an emotional health module. What's more stressful than a hostage situation in corporate territory? Mobile therapy. Murderbot must protect its humans (no pressure), avoid corporate forces that would love to slurp its kidnapped humans into corporate slavery (assholes), and navigate across a hostile station where one mistake could cost it everything (business as usual!).

There is supposed to be some inspection of the apts all day tomorrow and the day after and I have scrubbed and scrubbed that damn bathtub and it won't get clean. And my arthritis is really making my legs hurt. I took some painkillers and they didn't help much. I hope there isn't a problem.
I also paid my rent, checked my bank balance, ordered new checks, took out the garbage and did some grocery shopping. They didn't have any mussels (that grocery store usually has an excellent seafood selection and I was too tired to go to another store)

Robby has managed to put in a temporary fix for the site errors and things failing to refresh or not showing up where they should! The permanent fix is going to need Mark's experience, and unfortunately -- seriously, this literally never fails -- Mark has been on an international flight all day, because of course he has. (Never. Fails. He and I are not allowed to both take vacation at once.)

The site will work just fine with the temporary fix in place, things just might be a little slow here and there. We'll keep you updated.

We're aware of site traffic issues and are working to fix them for the people who are having problems! (The tactics the damn bot traffic uses are endlessly shifting, and they're really good at looking like real traffic, sigh.)

Yesterday I went to my favorite cafe to get a piece of coconut cake and the guy gave me an extra piece! Also had a good conversation with a friend about movies.

Nerd Show Yesterday

[personal profile] kalloway
Had a table at the Hobbyist Market yesterday, which is the local one-day nerd shows. They seem to have started as dedicated Pokemon card events and are still heavy on that. Instead of being down the street like the last couple, this was a couple of towns away in the Mall.

The basically-dead Mall. We were originally scheduled to be down a distant corridor, but in the corridor so we'd theoretically get wandering foot traffic... But then when load-in instructions arrived, we'd been moved to the big shoe store (which is how I found out the big shoe store is gone). Honestly, it was a nice location! Big glass storefront, well-lit, and near to remaining stores. I wasn't entirely sure if people would wander in but they did!

Traffic was steady but sales were meh. Made table, got rid of a bunch of stuff, but it was all low-value random stuff. (This is also mostly on me? I wasn't planning to do this one til last-minute because May was such a mess. So I really didn't have anything new or exciting.)

Aside from some toolbox stickers, I mostly got things for other people. Some stickers for a gunpla server buddy, dice for [personal profile] taichara... One vendor I've chatted with plenty of times gave me a 3D-printed obscene duck, lol.
