it is, I'll change the Chart now, sorry! got distracted by having my gay little heart ripped out by a new episode ALSO, I finally posted my art for the thing I was supposed to do Thursday

[lilly_c]

Awesome! I did look at the chart then got confused anyway 😂 aww *soothes the heart* and yay for posting

[xandromedovna]

...I was looking at the wrong column, this is Hour 19, I'm so sorry, no wonder you were confused okay let's just have two Hour 21s and that should put us back in sync, thank you for putting up with my nonsense

[lilly_c]

Okay I'll do that. There is so much wibbly wobbly timey wimey going on this round.

[xandromedovna]

thank you! and yeah I think we may have broken the record for the wibbliest wobbliest yet which feels on-brand for Round 150, clearly the Round is taking place in some sort of temporal vortex

[lilly_c]

There is definitely temporal shenanigans happening

[badly_knitted]

Next amnesty is the next challenge. I've already got one ready for it too =)

[lilly_c]

YAY! I thought it was coming up but couldn't remember if it is next or the one after. I'm aiming for at least three this time and combining prompts with some of lingering prompt tables, the 100 works is getting closer for me.

[badly_knitted]

*cheers you on* I'll be modding ffw_social this time around, which is how I know its the Amnesty, lol! I have to keep track so I know what I'm doing, or can at least give the illusion that I do...

Good luck with combining prompts!.

[lilly_c]

Thanks :) awesome. I try to keep track of when amnesty comes up and always end up forgetting or getting dates muddled up.

Thanks.

[badly_knitted]

End of every second month, so last 10 days of February, April, June, August, October, and December. Mark it on your calendar ;)

[lilly_c]

Thanks, that's really useful to know and yeah I'll be writing them down to help me to remember.

[badly_knitted]

I've been modding for quite a few years, so it's kind of stuck in my head by now =D

[lilly_c]

I'll eventually have that in my head.

[badly_knitted]

Some things just take time to be memorised.

[lilly_c]

Yeah they do and my memory is quite bad so I have systems in place to help me to remember things.

[badly_knitted]

I can remember the plots of several books I'm reading at the same time, but I have no idea why I started up the stairs the other day carrying a single shoe in one hand, and I can almost never remember what day it is.

[lilly_c]

I can remember plots from films and various tv shows but I'll often forget why I've got in to the kitchen for or what else I need when I buy new milk and bread each week.

[badly_knitted]

Getting older is an adventure, Isn't it? The times I've gone downstairs without the thing I wanted to take downstairs. Brains. Mine is too full of fanfic ideas to have room for other thoughts.

[lilly_c]

It sure is an adventure. I've left my tea in the kitchen a few times and just remembered by the time it's barely drinkable. My brain is wonky with being dyslexic but there's some really good fic ideas in there and some odd ideas that will never see daylight.

[badly_knitted]

My nephew is dyslexic too, but he's never let that stop him. He's a mechanic that goes out to rescue big trucks that break down.

I'll spend several minutes digging through my pockets, trying to find something I'm already holding in my hand. Certainly makes life interesting.

[lilly_c]

I don't let it stop me. I worked in social care for 25 years, quitting the sector for good last summer and now working part time in a pub and I'm restarting a business offering social support for dyslexic adults in my home town.

I end up doing that in a shop, I'll be getting my card or some cash out of my wallet only to see that it's already in my hand. Sure does make life interesting.

[badly_knitted]

Go you! That's awesome! There should be more help available for dyslexic adults.

But we manage, even if our brains have a bad habit of slipping out of gear.

[lilly_c]

Thanks. Absolutely and that's why I started it way back before the pandemic then I had to put it on hold for a while.

We do manage even the brains aren't cooperating.

[badly_knitted]

I'm glad you can get it up and running again now. I hope many people benefit from it.

Brains. Can't live without them, but they have as many faults as computers.

[lilly_c]

I'm glad I'm getting it going again. First time around I had people turning up every week and this time is a little slower but people are starting to turn up.

Indeed.

[badly_knitted]

Word just needs to make the rounds again, I'm sure you'll soon be back to where you were pre-pandemic, and it will probably do even better. Good luck with it!

[lilly_c]

It definetly does and word of mouth last time was superior to anything promo wise I did online. Thanks :)

[badly_knitted]

Fingers crossed it'll work that way again.
