Enjoy your time away, David! Go away, sciatica!

I’ll be in the lookout for your comp entry!

Morning, Rumpies

Up early being a pin cushion for my acupuncturist. Ridding remnants of pneumonia. Whoop! Whoop!

I’ll take one or twelve pink donuts and run

Here you go Kimmi his name is Otto if you want to adopt him Bear had the paperwork haha

BTW good meds today might post a couple songs who knows

Thank you, fuzzy Lion! 😀 This is in your honor (hangs above Wurlitzer)

I’m gonna be on a micro spree. Three in the works. I realized I hadn’t written about Facesitting yet. That category came after my Omnium badge. I’m writing a (hopefully) funny microfiction about a little man with big dreams.

Hi, Dave and Mr Paddling

Yay! New comp stories to read. I’m on it after work.

Yummy! Thanks Bear and Kat. ❤️

Kat, I see plenty of meat to share :D

Quote by JamesLlewellyn

And, just for those with a, um, sweet tooth, some other cookies and goodies to nibble on…

Hey! 😠 Where’s a goodie for me to nibble on, Bear!

We all love you, Fuzzy Lion ❤️

You can go play with my toys in Storeroom 4, if you want.

Thank you for your military service, Fuzzy Lion!

And for your love of animals!

And for cheering on Chiefs with me! :worship:

And for all the great tunes!

And most of all for your friendship! ❤️

Quote by techgoddess

I thought about this and how much he enjoyed meeting you, too!

I messaged him. Don’t know if he’s reading them. Please keep us posted, Kat!

I was blessed to meet him a few years ago when he was in Louisville. He and his family are really great people! My heart is breaking!

Thank you for sharing, Kat! ❤️

Love you all! ❤️

Morning, Rumpies

I’m happy because can take a deep breath now. Have I mentioned pneumonia is a stubborn bitch?

I peeked at Top Authors for month and Kat and David are in Top Ten! :worship:

Hope y’all are entering the comp. I’m sitting out this one, but enjoying reading all the entries.

Enjoy your Sunday! I’m looking forward to semis in FIFA Tuesday/Wednesday.

Me lovin’ FIFA games. ;worship:

Enjoying comp entries, too.

And my acupuncturist poked me with bunch of pins this morning. I went in really early to avoid peeps. Hoping it helps me get over this crap sooner.

Have a great weekend, peeps! ❤️

Thank you, Bear... I have a pot of Yorkshire tea, and you can put this one on my account! 😊

I'm really pleased to hear about your book deal, and I will be another one looking to purchase it when it becomes available. That is, if it becomes available on Amazon or a similar site.

The weather in the UK is hot. I'm not complaining; I actually normally don't mind, but at the moment I'm basically trying to shrug off sciatica. So there is a lot of sitting and resting going on. Thankfully, I have codeine to help me! 😳😎

I’ve never had sciatica but have co-workers who deal with it. Hope it goes away! ❤️

Thank you, Mr Paddling

So excited for you, Bear!! For you and your father! :worship:

I hope I can come to one of your book events. Regardless, I will get my signed copy!!

Hiya, Rumpies

Pneumonia is a stubborn bitch, but I think I’m a little better today.

Thank you, David and Kat! I’m trying to stay awake to watch team USA tonight. I’m a tad perkier with steroids, but not much. Butters has disowned me until I stop coughing. Fair weather friend!

Yum! I have pneumonia though, so I’ll get that Hershey kiss another time.

Peanut butter cookies! But they need a Hershey kiss on top. :)

Great questions, Carlton!

And don’t let anyone shame you. Driving is a learned thing like everything else, and like everything else, not everyone can learn it. It requires you to multi-task and focus. People with ADHD, for example, I have witnessed struggle with driving. And if you have struggles with anxiety, trust me, it will affect your performance until you get the anxiety managed. I don’t know if you have anxiety in general or the driving causes it.

You could try treating the anxiety first. Counseling. Acupuncture. Whatever if you really want to keep trying to drive.

But it’s fine if you never learn to drive. You are enough as you are.

Quote by LuceDevlin

feel like I may have jinxed myself by saying ' I had to come up with an entry for this theme since its so close to my brand. 🙁😢 I can't come up with an idea. the word count cap feels discouraging. and I have a lot of IRL stuff going on that is possibly silencing my muse. Oh well. Guess we'll see if I come up with anything at all or if I just need to take a break from comps or sit this one out. Even though my comp entry stories are the ones that get the most attention cos my stories are too weird/non-mainstream to get much/any attention otherwise.

.... idk, but either way lots of time left between now and the comp deadline, the muse tide can change lots before then. or not. who knows. guess we'll find out ..

Maybe you are putting too much pressure on yourself? My problem was I don’t think I can top the art-themed stories I’ve already published. I just decided to write something I loved—-music. Take a break and come back to it. You’ll think of something to fit in 5K.

Sorry, Bear

Roll call. Everybody make it past the 4th?

In my neck of the woods people make their own fireworks and some get so drunk they stick ‘em places they shouldn’t. Let your imaginations wonder about that one.

Happy Sunday, peeps! ❤️

Quote by LYFBUZ

Wait til you hear where I'm pissing next... 😈

Anybody pisses on lil Kimmi I’d better be on fire or stung by a jellyfish.

3rd attempt at a comp entry. 🙄 I suck big hairy balls. No, no, that’s not my storyline.

Happy 250th to my fellow Americans.

Raise your hand if you think we’ll be here in 250 more years?

Crickets

Agree.

I other news, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are married!!! :worship: :worship: They will have the tallest kids! Will be interesting if they go the sports route or arts or maybe both? I’m a huge Chiefs fan and Swiftie so cheering them on.

And the World’s Smallest Man (sadly our leader) trolled them on social media.

I’ve been very ill since last weekend, but a little better today, I think. Typical me on my 3rd comp idea. Typical again, couldn’t make sex fit in first 2.

I hope to read entries from all you talented Rumpies! :)

Enjoy your weekend! ❤️

Quote by Seeker4

Oddly, the guy who has at least two music-themed stories on SS (and some on here, too, really) isn't really thinking of one right now. I'm toying with visual arts.

Yeah, I thought you’d do a heavy metal chick something.

Quote by WannabeWordsmith

I might be basing my comp story around music. But I reserve the right to change my mind multiple times before the deadline.

Music!

Kimmi hogties WW and dumps him in a Kentucky corn maze while she runs away with his music idea

Quote by Just_A_Guy_You_Know

So, Canadians are taking over the world, eh?

Better them than us Americans, given our current state of things.
