Still getting better

Further updates on the Covid front. Today feels like the first time in about 5 days that I feel vaguely healthy again. Not out of the woods but better.

How are we feeling today?

A reoccurring thing that happens when I am sick is that in my dreams I will be under the weather as well. In some cases I have characters of my dreamscapes who will oversee my recovery. Now often these duties are done by one of my muses like Petina, Rosemary, or Carousel, but sometimes other characters will undertake the dut...

Update

Status update. I am no feeling creaky or achy all the time, and I never ran a fever. My sinus are still stopped up most of the time, and I run out of energy really quickly, but this is way better than the first time I had Covid.

Well F**K!

So yesterday I woke up with a bit of sore throat and some really bad nasal congestion on one side of my face. I was worried I had gotten another sinus infection, or worse I had another dead spider up my nose. Woke up this morning still stopped up, but no energy, and rather achy.

    Out of abundance...

A jacket and tie

Vinyl was laid out on the sofa in the living room. It was about 4 in the afternoon, and upstair she could hear Octavia getting ready to head out for the monthly meeting of the Ponyville Music Co-Operative Board of Directors.

     For as long as Vinyl had known Octavia the earth pony had been a ...

You can't have her!

Devin cursed through the filters of his respirator as he attempted to peer into the swirling greenish smoke that filled the banquet hall. This operation was not going according to plans.

       The plan had been straightforward in the beginning. The band of rogues and cutthroats that D...

Sailor Mercury study drawings

Some study drawings for an upcoming piece that will have Sailor Mercury in it. Since I've never drawn the character I thought it prudent to do some study drawings before starting on the finished piece.

All a blur

After the discovery they made in Granny's shed the rest of the afternoon for Applebloom and Stone Mane was all a blur in my Equestria dreamscape. Link

Maggot Study Drawings

A recent moment in Equestria dreamscape that I will be doing a posting about in the future, but I wanted to get certain details down on paper before I forgot them.

      In the Dream Realm and even in the Waking World, Applebloom has become a master of the macabre and horror. 2024-06-26 22:41:16 +0000 UTC View Post

Your new home

Celestia gently removed young plant from its pot. Carefully the alicorn held the plants root ball and attached potting mix in her right hand. Her horn glowed softly with a pale yellow light and plant was bathed in similar light as she tapped into her earth pony aspect. As she did this she spoke softly to it.

Charging across the sand

The sun was bright, the sky was a brilliant blue, and waves of turquoise blue crashed onto the golden beach. Across the this golden sand three fillies charged across laughing, giggling, and general having a grand time. Behind them three mares followed and called after them.

Granny's Favorite

After her encounter with Scootaloo in the morning Rainbow Dash considered going looking for a drink Link but elsewhere in my Equestria dreamscape other ponies are wondering why you'd want one.

     ...

Can I ask you a question?

After leaving Sweetie Belle at the train station Scootaloo wandered off on her scooter in my Equestria dreamscape. Her witnessing of Sweetie Belle dancing and cavorting with the butterflies and her recent experience with her friend at the barn dance had left pegasus filly confused about what she was feeling in her mind for he...

Mhm

Marble Pie slowly waded through the shallow water of the mountain lake. She liked it here. It was quiet and peaceful here. Rarity's family owned a cabin at this secluded location and agreed to let the Pie family enjoy a much deserved, often postponed, vacation.

Flap! Flap! Flap!

Relationships in the Dream Realm can be complicated, and are often changing and evolving. However Scootaloo is discovering they can be just as complicated and evolving in the waking part of my Equestria dreamscape.

Hostile

Phaser beams raced down the hallway and slammed into the wall of a T-intersection leaving blackened and cratered pock marks. Lt. M'Ress carefully peered around the corner of the wall she was leaning against. Then she looked across the hallway at her fellow away team member. She arched an eyebrow as she spoke.
