Today was not the last time the dog went to the vet. It will instead be the second to last time; tomorrow will be the last.

These things happen.

On Friday, my dog is going to the vet. At this moment, I am 97% certain it will be for the last time.

To those who are so inclined, a prayer would not be remiss.

When adding your old drives into a new pre-built PC, the only thing worse than dog shit cable management is dog shit cable management that's been zip-tied in place.

Seriously, of the first thing I had done was cut the ties, I probably could have saved myself three or of the six hours this took.

The moral of this story is never buy a mid-tower if you can help it.

Not the one I had mentioned previously. It is, in fact, a completely different story.

It is finished, but will be publish tomorrow as I have decided to give it an editing pass first. We will see, exactly, how much good that might do. This will be the first story I have release that was written mostly using speech-to-text.

It's actually almost finished. I've been recovering from surgery since Friday (it was minor, everything's fine), and since I've been instructed to not engage in strenuous activity, I've been writing.

It's not very long, and it obviously won't wrap up any currently outstanding tales, but there you have it.

Only the first chapter has been updated, but that might be fine, as it was the worst offender with being out of sync with the rest of the Strangerverse. I was wrong as revisions; what it needed was a substantial rewrite. Some of it was ok; most of it needed to be redone.

And I may will be spending a fair portion of it editing A Matter of Interest. I chanced to try reading it again today, and it is now so horribly out of sync with the Strangerverse that is basically bad fan fiction of my bad fan fiction.

I wish to stress this; I do not have new material to publish for this story yet. I will merely be updating it so that it actually matches what now exists before it (it is now technically a sequel to The Strangers in Ponyville).

And find it very hard not to feel like I'm the only one who has any control over their emotions.

And so, having received exactly zero responses, I am left wondering if the poll was actually working. Nonetheless, the selection of stories is now left entirely up to me.

Good luck, everyone!
