Down 21 Lbs

It’s been a hard couple of weeks after my surgery.

I’ve been on a high protein liquid diet and most protein drinks are horrible.  Luckily my doctor said that as long as I was staying hydrated, I could mostly forgo the protein drinks.

Now I’m able to eat yogurt so I can get a little protein from that.  I’m also able to do cream soups (tomato soup, cream of... soups).

The Tomato soup I had today was amazing.  I used a high protein milk so I got some from that as well.

I see the doctor on Wednesday and hopefully he’ll move me on to a soft food diet (eggs, cottage cheese).

Still.  21 pounds down from surgery, 35 since I started the entire program.

Update

Been on a bit here and there.

Clearly.

I’m not in pain anymore, and I’m down 17lbs for a total of 31 since I started all of this weight loss stuff.

Still stuck on liquids.  The hard part is that the drinks are all sweet and desert flavored and it’s hard to stomach, so I’ll be switching to flavorless protein in other fluids.

Next week I can start with yogurt and cream soup though, and after that it won’t be too long before I can have eggs and stuff like that.

I never thought I would crave an egg so much as I do now.

Jackson Holt || INK

Tattoos can have powerful meaning. For some, their meaning is their power. Everyone in the Holt family over the age of 13, had a tattoo. These tattoos were made of a special, powerful ink; infused with magic. These tattoos gave the Holt family their powers. Jackson Holt is the last remaining member of the Holt family, and now all their powers, are infused within him.

He’s filled with powerful ink, and he’s going to do what he can to protect those who can’t protect themselves.

Derek growled at Scott cautiously.  The teen may be younger than him, but he was still an alpha.  He frowned when the growl seemed to bother the mother dog.

“Stop.  And I don’t know.  I’m not sure how to care for a dog.  I was just a kid when I had one before.”

He pet the mother dog’s head slowly before turning back to Scott.

“I was running.  Mostly.  In my wolf skin.  Things are...easier as a wolf.  You don’t have to worry about human emotion.  You don’t have to worry about responsibilities.  You can just...run.”

Mutt

“Awwwh, Derek the concerned dog dad.” Scott couldn’t help but laugh as he pet her head, looking up at his friend with lifted eyebrows. “That’s rather responsible. You plan on keeping her?” He would probably want to keep a puppy for himself if he wasn’t too scared about something happening to it. After all these years since the incident with Roxy, he still felt very cautious to the idea of another pet. Melissa had always offered, but he’d just shake his head. Too painful.

A wide grin laced across the alpha’s lips and he couldn’t help but snort. “But you are,” he pouted in response. If he wasn’t scared of being punched, he may have reached out to pat the other male on the head. “Where have you even been?” Good subject change.

Update

Down 12 pounds thanks to the surgery.

I’m not so much in pain now as aching.

And its still hard to drink as much protein as I’m supposed to drink.  I’m only getting about half to a third of what I’m supposed to.  But I can now sit with my computer so I may start doing some replies here and there.

Hiatus Update

So, some of you may have heard that I was having surgery on the 5th.

I’ve had the surgery and I’m recovering at home.

I’m still in a good deal of pain though, so I won’t actually be online for probably another week.

Thank you for understanding.

[musepalooza-blog]

Don’t think I’ll be on today

My nerves are horrible.

Thing You need To Know (Hiatus)

So, on Tuesday I’m going in for weight loss surgery.  I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life and it’s finally time to do something about it.

I will not be online on Tuesday as I’ll probably feel like shit and not want to talk.  I may be online on Wednesday when I return home. I’m not sure.  It all depends on how I feel.

I’m also not sure how I’ll feel tomorrow because of nerves and the fact that I’ll only be on liquids all day. 

Anyway, I’ll at least post something on Thursday to let you all know how things went.

“Yea, she is.  When the pups are old enough I’ll make sure she’s fixed.  The pups as well.  I’ll make sure they find good homes.”

He missed his own dogs.  Maybe he could keep the mother and one of the puppies.

“At least I can hear the heartbeats of the puppies.  It means they’re still alive in there.  So that’s something.  I have no idea how long she’s been outside.”

He ran his fingers through wet fur before turning towards Scott.

“And Scott.  Alpha or no.  Don’t ever call me adorable.”

Mutt

The alpha laughed at Derek’s innocence in regards to an animal giving birth. “It normally takes hours for them to deliver their litter,” he sighed. “I can’t really do anything much but keep her hydrated and comfort her.” He wet his hand with the water from the bowl, holding it to the dog’s mouth so she would lick off the droplets of water, which she did. “I’ve never seen you so concerned about something in my life,” Scott purred, eyes scanning over Derek in curiosity and vague interest. “It’s adorable, but you don’t have to worry. She’s okay and not in any pain, she just happened to be in a bad position of giving birth.” He sighed, petting over the dog’s head and smiling at her. “She’s a pretty dog.”

He was a bit reluctant, but he let himself be pulled down onto the couch and moved in close to Raphael.  He reached out carefully, making the other vampire turn his head so that he could see his neck easily.

“Right.  Easy.”

He ran his tongue along his fangs before leaning in.

It took him a moment to find a comfortable position; and once he did, he sunk his fangs deep into Raphael’s neck.

Blood burst across his tongue and his eyes grew wide before falling closed as a soft moan fell from his lips.

Raphael tasted far better than any blood he had tasted before.

“It’s not hard.” Raphael reached out Simon and pulled him down onto the couch. “Just bite hard into my neck, enough to pierce the skin. The blood will flow right into your mouth. Your instinct will take over from there. I can stop you if you drink too much.”

Emissary

@alphadelameutedelycan

Senior year had ended, and Summer had just begun.  A lot had happened during the year.  More than Stiles had cared to experience.  But it had awoken something in him in the end.  The spark that Deaton had mentioned had become a full blown inferno. That is to say, he was no longer fully human.  Magic coursed through his veins and he needed to learn how to use it, or else he might end up hurting someone.

He had taken over a large space in Derek’s loft.  He didn’t have room in his own home for the many books that he needed to read through and translate.  Books that Deaton had handed down to him.

Stiles, it seemed, was destined to become an emissary to a werewolf pack.

Thank God his best friend was alpha because otherwise he would probably be forced to work for some stuck up alpha somewhere.

As it was, Stiles sat at the large metal table in Derek’s loft, working on making pieces of wood float in the air.  He smiled brightly as he made them move in intricate patterns.

“Derek, look at this! I’m getting better.”

Exhausted

Mentally.  SO I’ll be back later.  Going to try and rest.

[musepalooza-blog]

Stiles snorted.

“You’re telling me?  I remember those nights.”

He had gone to the academy straight out of High School and was a rookie now.  His father had partnered him with Parrish, figuring that the Hell Hound could keep him safer than a human partner.

Stiles took a sip of his coffee and sighed softly as he leaned back.

“I remember times when I could function without coffee as well.  Haven’t been able to since The Academy.”

He turned his head to look at Parrish and frowned.

“You do realize that you’ve jinxed us.  Right?”

open to Stiles

[other characters with a police verse/background are welcome too.]

      He sighed softly, handing the cup of coffee to his partner through the cruiser window. “It’s been a while since this town was so quiet..I’ve been living here for four and a half years and it hasn’t been this quiet since. Something is always happening.” He had climbed into the cruiser halfway through his thought, looking at his partner.

Little nap

I really need one.  I’ll be back in an hour or so.

[musepalooza-blog]

He knows now that he would be blushing.  He’s sure his heart would be pounding as well.  He gulps, feeling his fangs down again even though his hunger had been quenched by the bag of blood.

“I...uh...I suppose...we could give it a try.”

He tugged at the collar of his shirt.  Suddenly feeling warm.

“But I’ve never actually bitten anyone before.”

“No. It is much harder to kill a vampire than just draining his blood. Like the human body, we make new blood even though our hearts don’t beat and we recover faster than humans.”

He knew Simon would ask this question. He put his drink down.

“Like I said earlier, I actually care about you. I haven’t cared about anything in centuries, not anything or anyone. So the fact that I care about you intrigues me. If I feel a connection to you, maybe I’ll figure out why, maybe you’ll see you care about me too. Who knows?”

[musepalooza-blog]

“Wouldn’t the blood eventually run out that way?  I mean, if we all went around feeding on one another.”

He had a feeling that it was the first thing that Raphael said as a reason.  Raphael wanted to feel connected to him.  The question was, why?

“Why do you want to feel connected to me.”

“Maybe because I want to feel connected to you. Or maybe because I get a kick out of preying on newborns. You probably believe one over the other.”

Raphael takes a sip of his drink.

“Or maybe because I want you to know how good it feels to be fed on. You’ll have to learn to fed on other vampires. Sometimes clans have to go into hiding and the only thing they can feed on is each other.”

[musepalooza-blog]

“Well yea.  Because then it would get me accepted by the clan again.  But if you have to ask, then obviously it isn’t.”

He tilted his head to the side.

“Why do you want me to bite you so badly?”

“I’ve been laid more times than you can count on your little fingers. So much so that I do or do without it.”

Raphael sat down on the couch and poured himself a drink.

“If I said it was, would you do it?”
