I had a chiropractic appointment and a pedicure this morning. I chose a light teal polish, though it looks like a brighter blue on. Still, this is the summer for experimenting with different colors on my toes, so I’m okay with it.
I hit Price Chopper and the Pharmacy while I was downtown and got in a walk around the park. I also picked up Chinese for my lunch.
I did a load of laundry (mom’s that she sent home with me; got it washed, dried and folded to go back to her tomorrow), hand-washed dishes and did a load in the dishwasher, took Grant for a short walk, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, scooped kitty litter, and showered.
I visited mom, started two Kindle cozies (finished one), and started the Hatshepsut biography.
Thanks so much for birthday wishes from

Temps started out at 70.5(F) and reached 86. That I saw. It had to be hotter than that, but the clouds had started rolling in before I got home. In fact, the temp dropped two degrees the short time I was home between downtown and visiting mom.
It was so hot downtown, but just as I was pulling out of town, dark clouds rolled in. I drove through rain on the way to the garage to pick up Grant (another story), some of it quite heavy. And then it stopped, but the roads were wet. It was also wet at the garage, and about a third of the way home from there, and then dry pavement. We were supposed to get some rain later in the day, but we only got enough at our house to get everything wet. Meanwhile, the garage got a second storm and Pip said he thought they might have gotten over two inches because it came down so hard and fast.
Mom Update:Mom was not doing great. She was lying on her bed after having a dizzy spell when I arrived.

Thursday: Specific Scenarios
Aug. 14th, 2025 10:13 amIf you're interested in being a Tuesday/Thursday guest host, you can sign up here. Thanks! These are the currently available dates:
Aug. 19 & 21
Aug. 26 & 28
Sep. 2 & 4
Sep. 9 & 11
Sep. 16 & 18
Today's theme is specific scenarios. Prompts that describe a detailed situation for characters to react to or experience. They set the stage for the fic but leave plenty of room for interpretation, things like “stuck in an elevator during a power outage,” “accidentally switched phones,” or “snowed in at the airport.” These work well because they spark instant ‘what if’ ideas without locking the writer into one exact storyline.
Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.
Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt
Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ any, any, An accidental text meant for someone else sparks a secret exchange.
+ Hawaii Five-0, Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams, An old friend visits and stirs up jealousy and old memories.
+ Teen Wolf, Hale Pack, They have to host a tense negotiation between rival packs.
We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2024 collection. See further notes on this new option here.
Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].
While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.
As a friendly reminder about our schedule, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications!
