The could just lie and roll it back to the range that would have fit when I registered two decades ago. 😂

I’m like you. My phone is set to dark mode because we had to live with years of not having the option, so I’m evening out the usage between the two. When I’m reading for long periods of time I prefer dark mode if it’s available just because my eyes aren’t as good as they used to be. My PC has a dark theme on it so it doesn’t blind me when I decide I need to do something on it at 2am but most of my apps are set to normal, except when I write. The program I use to do that is set for more of a dark navy background and white text because it’s soothing to me. All in all it’s a mix of both really.

Well I am now but I’m pushing the limit on that age range and I’ll probably cry when it’s time to change it next year.

I’m getting caught up as I missed last weeks somehow. (The days run together) The flight from “home,” definitely seemed warranted, I was always worried Malik would wake up with someone trying to bury a stake in his heart you know to ward off the evils, and that vibe got pumped up after the funeral. But to find another human, what a relief. I probably would have bawled like a baby myself to finally hear someone respond in a language I could understand without trying. So now a group of two turns into four. Now we’re feeling like a fellowship. All we need now is a cursed piece of jewelry, an enemy from the undead and we’re well on our way! I’m absolutely loving this now. @Thirdly great job on the art work, having it randomly pop up is always a surprise and a great help lol

Actually it did. I kept my normal routine without sliding into utter despair so that worked. Im also at 38k in the fic nobody asked for, or about 9 chapters in. Its progressing slowly, going to see if I can get chapter 10 out of me today.

This was probably the most beautiful thing you've ever written. I'm happy it worked out for you.

I’m going to be all over the place today. So just a little … Oh hell. Today for me is in memorandum to my mom’s sister Sandra who lost her battle with cancer this morning. The irony is not lost on me that she passed today, the day before the anniversary of the day my mom passed. Two sisters, separated by one day and forty-one years together again. The timing is…amazing when you think about it. I’m going to go do something stupidly ordinary now like go get soil for a potted plant. As I said, today I’m just going to be all over the place.

I enjoyed PT myself even though it hurt like hell because the muscles where just so stiff but once i was convinced my arm wasn’t going to fall off it went pretty smooth and I got full range of motion back pretty quickly. I still use some of the stuff I learned there on a daily basis just to keep it limber. (I ended up with some permanent damage but it’s manageable)

I'm glad your feeling better and hope the boot thing works out because it'll definitely improve your mood, probably not for your husband but he has two hands toys and the internet if he can't handle it himself for a while well... lol Let's hope your PTA is flamboyantly happy like my nurse in Encrypted, it would definitely help the healing process. But judging from what Cassie posts it seems like the majority of them have their soul crushed by the second week so good luck. I will say though good job on kicking the pain bills. When I got my shoulder crushed in 2018 I did the same thing. I think I took 2 out of 2 different kinds they sent me home with and after waking up from the first dose I never took them again. it's like the morphine they gave me at the ER was good enough to make me stop crying and made me half normal again, and really that's all I needed. Those pills are just too easy to get attached to and I didn't want it either. Besides using an existing addiction to stop a restart with an old one was a good call all the way around I wouldn't have done it any different lol.

Much appreciated. Trust me if I ever do publish it, I’m going to rewrite parts of it mainly to make it better in a couple of areas that bug me. Book 2 is currently being worked on and I may have it before the end of the year, trying to keep the pace and flow of the original plus add new concepts is challenging but we will see. Im so glad you enjoyed it. This was the first time I’ve ever attempted anything related to a thriller and responses like yours tell me I may actually be good at it. 😂

I’ve been threatened with tornado sirens twice in a 7 day period, both were too close for comfort, I don’t mind spring showers but can we please turn down the chances of hail and tornados? 😂. The wind has been blowing branches off the trees over here.

Don’t get technical because you know exactly what I’m talking about lol. Bruce Wayne wouldn’t be anything without daddy’s money.

Batman is just an over emotional teenager with daddy’s Amex black card. There I said it.

This is actually pretty cool. Ive been using Claude to help keep dormant coding skills active, and the crap my imagination comes up with sometimes surprises me. My original niche way back when was php and mySQL back in the mid 2000s and sorta branched into other languages and use cases that used databases. It was mainly set towards community building with PC gamers to keep them from eating each other, but there’s a definite line between gamers who just play and the group I belong to which can not only play, but also build and develop with imaginative solutions. i guess my muse is multi tiered lol. AI so far has managed to keep me current in that field and even teach me some new stuff. Kids these days with their fancy programming languages. One of these days I’ll see if I can pick up a new language, but programming/coding/ even simple scripting can be time consuming. Anyway I’m all for it. If AI can help me find something to read or just pick a movie on Netflix because I can’t make a decision due to sheer volume of choices I’ll take it. Other wise great things may not be read or great content may not be watched.

Not gonna lie I did laugh when I read that first paragraph and it sounded like the sea witch from the little mermaid. You know which laugh
