Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone. I uploaded the icons on two hosting sites so I added both the links since Imgur sometimes seems to cause issues.

Shot Number 3

So way back when I first started this Wegovy thing, I was quite twitchy about using NovoCare. They communicate via texts - no account set up, etc. No warm and fuzzy emails telling me they have my order. Initially, it was even weirder. I tried to call the number I was given 'for questions' and ended up on hold for nearly and hour, twice, before I gave up.

Yesterday on the eve of my third dose, I was wondering how the refill will happen. On my box, it tells me I have 3 refills and I do have the RX number and a different phone number to call. So I tried again. This time it was answered nearly immediately by a woman who instantly looked up my account and transferred me to the pharmacy - also answered immediately by a nice guy who said I would get another text with a link 'here, I'll go ahead and send it now' and he did. I clicked and paid and selected a delivery date. Still no warm and fuzzies, no account set up. Nothing. They just send me a text every time. But at least now I know the phone thing works.

Third shot in. Got to use the leg with the numb spot this time. That's my fav. My doctor said it would make my brain think my stomach was full. Reddit says I will feel less compelled to eat. Both of these are proving to be true. The first week or so I figured it was psychosomatic (I think everything is). But, now I'm 'getting' it. I am eating less. And I'm perfectly fine with it. I know what eating less and wishing I could eat more feels like and this isn't that. This is different. And expensive. Assuming I keep on using Wegovy once a week and the coverage doesn't change (my insurance does not cover it - but NovoCare goes me a deal), this will end up costing me right at $11 a day. (The per day price is a bit easier to swallow than the per month.) At least I can afford it.

Biggie and Julio are not happy. Biggie has been sitting next to his food bowl for 30 minutes. His food bowl has food in it. But he wants dry kibble. At least he's not pestering me for treats yet.

Myrna died one year ago tomorrow.

Volleyball was good. I have to go down to the lounge and meet with Harriet at 9:30 to go over next week's agenda. I'm still naked under my robe. I really need to put clothes on before I meet her.

Health stuff

I am much better. The pain has gone down to a 6 and it’s tolerable. My chiropractor does miracles. But I have learned my lesson. Not driving for more than an hour in traffic. It does stupid things to my back. 

Teacher stuff

Last week’s Zoom session went fine. We added a session for next week to focus on the mapping of the processus of Reader’s advisory. I am making them use paper and pencil, even colour pencil. No computer, no application, no AI. Old school. My reading for the next class is done. I have to write the content now. I’m still a week ahead. I’m proud of myself that I did not procrastinate. 

Reading

The Apothecary Diaries v.2  which I’m reading in French. These are the light novels series. It’s completely, totally and desperately addictive. Onward to v. 3, it should be arriving at my library branch today. 

Bassin déversant. Émilie Bélanger. Poetry in prose. I cried. I got teared eyes. I laughed. It is an emotional read about the relationship between a grand daughter and her grand father. Nature, maternity, losing oneself as we grow old and how to say goodbye. I took notes and copied verses. 

Mon très cher F. Le fantôme de l’Opéra v.1 by Mio Nanao. This is an adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s classic The Phanthom of the Opera in manga. It’s an alternative adaptation. The setting is the same, the names are the same but the story is inspired by the original but not tied to it. It’s interesting. 

Watching

I have one new currently airing cdrama. The Inner Eye. It’s a legal drama. I like  Xin Zhi Lei, she always brings something more to dramas.
I am rewatching The Ingenious one while knitting. I need an easy yet interesting cdrama to watch and I want to watch series 2 after. 

Crafting 

I’m knitting a baby blanket as fast as I can. I have a deadline of February 13th. I did xstitich a little but not much. It’s knit, knit, knit.

Happy almost Friday, everyone! I’m templefugate, and I'm back with more prompts.

As a reminder, we are using a new posting schedule. Sundays are for Lonely Prompts and sharing the fills that you completed during the week, Tuesdays and Thursdays are for new themes and prompts, and Saturdays will remain a Free for All.

Today's theme is, depending on how you view it, amazing or horrific: Fame! Prompts should have anything to do with fame, from desperately trying to gain it to escaping it.

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.
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...
+ DC, Mari McCabe /& Bruce Wayne, avoiding paparazzi
+ The X-Files, Dana Scully & Fox Mulder, investigating a celebrity medium
+ Any, any, infamy

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 2025 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.

While the use of LJ's advanced search options is available, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.

If you are viewing this post on our Dreamwidth site, please know that fills posted here will not show up as comments on our LiveJournal site but you are still more than welcome to participate.

If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so…and spread the word! [community profile] comment_fic

Global climate models capture many of the processes that shape Earth's weather and climate. Based on physics, chemistry, fluid motion and observed data, hundreds of these models agree that more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere leads to hotter global temperatures and more extreme weather. Still, uncertainty remains around how seasonal weather patterns and atmospheric systems like the jet stream will respond to global warming. Some of this uncertainty stems from the way models approximate the effects of relatively short-lived, small-scale phenomena known as gravity waves.

Hello on Thursday, sorry about missing yesterday, it was a crazy day with a major computer issue that thankfully got solved eventually.

Anyway, how's the day going so far for fic? (If you haven't gotten started on your day as yet, how did yesterday go for writing fic?)

    - Excellent!
    - Terrible
    - Somewhere in between
    - Nothing doing

How much time have you spent on writing fic today, roughly?

    - None
    - 30 minutes or less
    - 30-60 minutes
    - 60-90 minutes
    - More than 90 minutes

In five words or less, how do you feel about that?

Masonic Lodge last night

As the subtitle of the blog says, a touch of Freemasonry.

My lodge meets the first Wednesday of the month, so last night was it. We initiated a new Brother, and observing or participating in any of the three degrees is always a nice night.

I am frequently asked by non-Masons: "What do Masons do in their meetings?"

I guess the answer is: "Pretty much what any group does, Rotary, Elks, etc." And that is true. We are a club and as such we have formal meetings to keep the thing moving forward. We pay bills, respond to correspondence, almost always have some kind of educational presentation, and go through the process to admit new members. Probably one of the very different things about Freemasonry is that once we admit a new member, that is just the start for that Brother. There are three degrees to go through, the first initiation degree is simply the start. And, much like actual school, he cannot proceed to the next degree without putting considerable work into proving he has learned the lessons of the current degree.

Freemasons are also big on "fellowship" which is our ancient word for "hanging out." Almost every lodge has some kind of meal, either before or after, the meeting. It seems to me that most lodges have the meal after but as it is usually 9-10pm at that time, it's questionable how healthy that is! But it is not about the food, per se. That is just the vehicle that causes us to sit down with each other and talk.

Seamounts and the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) are two typical deep-sea habitats that often coexist. However, determining whether the "seamount effect" alters OMZ structure through marine stratification, thereby influencing the deep-sea hypoxic environment and carbon sink processes, remains unconfirmed.

Hello! Since it's been over 3 years since I've kept an active journal here, I decided to do a very overdue friends cut. I've primarily cut dead journals along with journals that:
  • don't really interact with me
  • I don't really interact with
  • just isn't going anywhere as journal friends which is fine, and maybe I did us both a favor if they were hesitant to remove me first
  • I don't even remember giving access to
My reasons are not personal, but practical — I've been wanting to shorten my list for some time. While I'm not trying to cause any offense, I also doubt anyone will feel as such after reading why I potentially cut them and probably acquiesce.

My entries will continue to be access-locked, so please remove me back at your leisure since there'd be no point continuing to subscribe (unless you really want to for whatever reason you may have).

If anyone would like to be added back or I made a mistake, shoot me a comment here and we'll talk. Same deal for any dead journals that come back in the future. Otherwise, I wish everyone well. Thank you for giving me the chance to get to know you, even if it didn't work out in the end. No hard feelings! (シ_ _ )シ

unprecedented, I'm sure

Maybe I should start using this again for everyday, banal stuff. I have a blog somewhere for all the emotional nonsense, plus the microlog for thoughtvomit, so...might as well? (Five'll get you ten I'll forget about it after, like, three entries.) It's probably a bad time to restart a journal, seeing as I'm being metaphorically beaten around the head with a golf club by my health (or lack thereof, really) and I currently am miserable and ashamed about yet another missed deadline/failed project because of it, but hey! Uh...here's a picture of Tsuki and Dawn. Why not.

I mean, I think I am!


Tsuki's Odyssey is a silly little game. It's also cosy, soothing, and funny, so I am rather fond of it, I won't lie.
