If you ever want to know how scary not being able to feel your feet is. Spend time with someone with neuropathy. It gets dark pretty fast with injuries you can't feel. Everyone's ok I think, just a bit of a mess. I'll keep an eye on the situation.

My neuralgia occasionally goes into neuropathy... Not having an entire arm is really weird, and you keep wanting to overcompensate when there is no actual need...
Charles 🐾 Author Icon - I'm ok, just someone I hang out with got a cut and didn't realize it because they can't feel their toes. They also happen to take aspirin so it kind of looked worse than it was. Luckily the bleeding stopped, cleaned the wound and put bandages on. I'm just happy not to have to go to the ER with them.
S 🤦 Author Icon - that sounds awful. Way worse than trying to chew where I don't have any molars.
Yay!!!

I just discovered "Hades" is YOU! An official suspect!!!

I really look forward to reading your journal entries this year!!! *Heart*

Yep, I think we'll have a blast!
Today I managed to walk around six miles. Four of which I was pushing a 250 pound person in a wheel chair. Did I mention there's a long ramp involved?

I hurt but feel like a complete badass. (Even if deep down I know I'm a marshmallow.)

Lazy Writer est 4/24/2008 Author Icon - yeah! If I do, I'll be ready for any hike or Amusement Park that comes my way. *Smile*
         I feel ya! I once made those forays with my mother in the wheelchair. My toes still throb at the memory of her crushing them when she graduated to an electric scooter.
SandraLynn Author Icon - yeah, those things really have a lot of weight, even without a passenger. I've managed to back a scooter over my feet more times than I can count.
The AC is fixed. All anomalies with appliances have mysteriously disappeared. A rather anti-climatic ending to Appliance Mageddon.

Went to Wildwood and experienced the flooding first hand. Kinda bewildering but made good inspiration for a story. That I will write, hopefully today/tomorrow/this weekend.

         I'm sorry, but I had to chuckle to myself at the use of the term "anti-climatic." *Smile* At first, I thought it was a typo which should have been "anti-climactic" but as soon as that thought hit me, a second thought popped in. I seem to remember mention first of non-working air-conditioning. In that context, "anti-climatic" fits nicely.

         I'm not trying to pick nits. *Smile* I just found the word similarity amusing.
Humble Poet PNG - but am I? Author Icon - yeah! I meant to do that! I didn't make a typo at all!(except I totally messed up.)*Rolling*
I changed my handle. I figure Masquerade is only a few days away! Figure since Jayne already said who she's going as. It's time to bring myself out of the river Styx!

So excited for September!

Whee! Have fun *Wave* I'll continue my tradition of staying outta trouble *Wink*
Good news! I got cast in a disaster movie it's called "Appliance-magedon 2025: The Doom Curse!" The plot line revolves around the Engineer and his Assistant. Everything in their world is breaking! Together with the Monks of Insurinca they must rid the world of the curse of the Entropy Demon. Can they find the Scrolls of Mending before reality itself ceases to function?

Don't miss

*Fireworks1* Appliance Magedon: THE DOOM CURSE!*Fireworks1*

(If I can't cry, I'm gonna laugh dammit!)

Sorry, Jeff Author Icon couldn't help making a fake movie pitch.*Rolling*
Sounds better than a few that have made it to the screen.
You know one thing I wish I knew about circuit breakers? When some solar auditor comes in and rapidly flips all the breakers off then on, it can damage any electrical circuit in the house. At least one outlet in the kitchen is bad. The TV is acting like it's possessed. The electronic thermostat and AC Unit no longer communicate and the power mysteriously glitched last night. Just so many fun plot twists. None of which are within my power to fix.(tried already.)

What's next? Is a herd of Elephants gonna shit in my living room?!

That "solar auditor" sounds more a "lunar tick."
Humble Poet PNG - but am I? Author Icon - thanks, the electrical system in our house was designed by the former Electrical Engineer for Hewlett Packard. I know him to be extremely good at all those forethoughts. If the people who wired and built our house in the first place didn't follow his instructions then they're idiots.(In my opinion)

Not to mention he goes around measuring the voltage and testing the outlets any time we have a problem. He also insisted on placing all outlets in our house no lower than 3 feet, they've all got surge protectors and are GFCI. This is unforeseeable crap happened. Believe me The Engineer is very persnickety. I've learned that over the time I've known him.
Humble Poet PNG - but am I? Author Icon - It's basically where they inspect the entire facility/home to make sure the electrical systems and equipment is functioning properly and capable of doing the job the auditor assumes it should do.
I dunno why but I feel better after writing this. " Being Labeled" Open in new Window. Somehow it made me feel less exhausted.

S 🤦 Author Icon - yeah I know that feeling. I call myself a stupid bitch at least once a day. It's a hard habit to break.
Very good post, Spud.
Jay O'Toole Author Icon - thank you
I've just edited an item in my portfolio:
 A Wee Bit of Magic Open in new Window. (13+)
Imagine having a mage living under your house.


Got sick of thinking so of course the end is tacked on. No reviews needed.

Actually, the end made me chuckle and want more details, because... there's a meteor now?! *Laugh* I enjoyed it.
Charles 🐾 Author Icon - thanks! *Smile*
Hurricanes the one time to actually be glad you live with a doomsday preper. Emergency kits packed. Hurricane Erin may make landfall somewhere nearby but we're prepared for this plot twist.

Hades Author Icon - Call me crazy, but I've never evacuated for a hurricane. Of course, if I lived directly on the coast, I'm sure my feelings would be different.
Charles 🐾 Author Icon - yeah I haven't either but this is the first one I've been here for.
I've learned to always show respect to any hurricane that dances near the East Coast. My part of Georgia is about 90 minutes inland from Tybee Island, but we've still had wind damage from multiple hurricanes with Hurricane Helene being the closest last September.

Maybe this storm wouldn't mean much, except for some rain, but woe is me if I ever take the attitude of the townspeople in "The Boy Who Cried 'Wolf.'"
So, no engine explosions, no crazy break problems. Car works great. The Engineer and I went time traveling. Due to anomalies we ended up visiting a Lyre playing Norseman, pirates and hearing Celtic War Horns. It was really cool but kind of weird. Especially the soda-pop selling pirate.

Got to pose as a Viking "War Lord" with helm and sword. Good thing nobody minded my anachronistic T-shirt and pants!

Then back in the modern era, we went grocery shopping. It was so good to get out and do things!
The car might actually be coming home today! Five and a half months is a loooong time to wait. Hopefully nothing else explodes, breaks or has a problem.

Seriously life is one long plot twist lately.
Nothing spells fun like being introspective about the past. That is except having a bug fly in one's mouth during said activity. This causes one to yell "Ew! Gah! Die fly die!" And attempt to swat the vile fiend and miss.

Jayne Author Icon - yes it does, I feel kinda guilty but the image of a hummingbird getting punched in the face is kinda funny.
Jay O'Toole Author Icon - forgot to add the southern colloquialism; bless Yo' hart!(Don't know what that means? Ask someone from Virginia!)
Hades Author Icon - Don't feel bad! I still laugh hysterically and tease him about it.
I'm stable ish. It's been a rough month but I ain't giving up. Probably going to keep the profile image I have. Until October at least. Black and white is the colors of funerals and mourning in some cultures. Those same absence and presence is also the hues the Ancient Greeks believed shaded the Underworld.(realm of the dead no matter their deeds in life.)



Been trying to digest some bad news I got yesterday. "Spud's Worms" Open in new Window. has a new entry "Can't Process This" Open in new Window. Just a heads up it talks about some potentially triggering topics.
