I hope you have been able to truly enjoy some time to relax!

I have a really bad cold.

In reply to Narrator V (msg # 56):

Get better soon!

*offers chicken soup*

I'm not at my sickest yet, but today I really started to feel it. Anne, my roommate, had it and got me sick (we share a fridge). So I know what to expect. Probably two more days of actually being sick, and then another two or three days of no longer being infected, but still feeling bad. I felt bad for the past two days as well, as I was trying to fight the infection. Hence why I'm past the 8 days.

I'm very sorry to hear that; I hope you do feel better within the next couple of days!

Get well soon boss.

Hope you feel better soon.

I haven't taken a Covid test yet, but I'm still feeling pretty bad. Anne, whom is sick still, took three Covid tests and all came back negative. Very cheap doctors said Norovirus, but they also said it was a cold before, and the symptoms don't sound like Norovirus. So I have no clue. No fever at, nor above, 40 yet, so safe but feel bad.

I think I will resume study and answering queries, and RTJs after the move, which is scheduled for Monday ATM.

I will check PMs, but encourage those unanswered to bump around the week of the 8th.

Take care of yourself! It could be RSV -- that knocked me on my ass for a day or so a couple of weeks before I was diagnosed with Covid. I hope the move goes without complication!

I hope you and yours feel better, Narrator!

Devastated. Too much to write it all. Cathaloic Charities failed the inspection. The apartment we were to move into was being renovated for two months. Apartment expected us to move in with unfinished walls, and have us pay rent 1.4 grand a month! WHILE they finished the rennovations.

Dejected. Ashamed. Angry. Depressed. Hopeful. Worried.

I didn't want to make this post, because it's just...it's embarrassing to have to keep posting this shit. It's among the least of my worries though. If I can't face having to confront this, I can't expect to tangle for a rematch against what KOed me just one day ago.

I'm still sick. Mother says "Well at least you don't have to move while you're sick". Just missing my plight entirely.

In reply to Narrator V (msg # 65):

Not having to move while sick is a small consolation for that level of disappointment. I'm so sorry about that, V! That absolutely and totally sucks!

I will be away for about a week. I might be able to check in but I won't be able to post much while I'm away.

I'm moving (if I have stored items) in early May. That is the plan at least...

I plan to set the deadline when I have my...things...in order. You ALL have been patient with me, I'm sure we (including me) can be patient for everyone who's still here to finish the necessary assets.

I'm stoked! Just so happy!

Duration unknown. Active immediately.

In short, I'll be back in a week. I wrote this tiny paragraph last, but put it up top here. One to two weeks, I'll be back. The rest if what I wrote prior.

I beaten and burned, but nowhere near ashen to bag, and far from buried. That's, if you're curious, a tag line of a character of mine. "Beaten, burned, bagged and buried". It's sort of the D&D equivalent of a fatality from OG Mortal Kombat. I've lost a few matches, but I'm not too badly burned to prevent me from taking strikes. Every strike is at least an attempt, and you miss every time you don't make an attempt.

I am, however, for now, back where I was. I'm taking a week, maybe two, to explore RPoL at large and make some tweaks or comments here about char gen, and then we'll see where we're at. Where everyone is at with completion, and how I'm feeling about launch, the start of the game. We may need more time, or I, or one of you, may need more time. I personally think two weeks is my upper limit on what I'll demand, and need. I think one week is probably what I really should do, minimum, even if I feel "fine". To just cool off some more, get hydrated, relax. Dip my feet, not immerse myself. I think I'll be prone to disobeying that self-imposed limit, but I'm going to try to stop myself from getting in my way.

I'll be out of town from July 1 through July 8. While I might be able to peek in during that time, I can't guarantee regular/continuous access.

I'm going to be taking off three more days, to take care of my sleep deficit, and foster new friendships in more real time, day specific, mediums. Sunday nights, Monday Nights, and Tuesday Nights; I found some people to game with, for a few hours at a time, that have flexible schedules and their weekend is either Tues, Wed; or their Sat Sun Weekend is for their family but their jobs consist of "on call" that's light in practice, on Tues and Wed.

So I will probably make a step every Thursday and especially Friday night from now on to be on RPoL. Tonight might work, but I may only read. Last week, I missed the opportunity from the 4th of July sleep deprivation. I'm going to make a point of keeping things in perspective this week. Starting by not giving more than I have early in the week, so I have enough every day after.

Can't shake this cough and fatigue. I haven't been able to get a free Covid test, so I'm making an appointment on Monday. Making the appointment, probably almost definitely not having the appointment, on Monday. With a doctor I mean.

*whoo* RL first. :/ *nods* I know it's agreed. Agreed to be true. Agreed that it suck, but agreed is an occurrence not unfamiliar nor complicated.

Updates when I feel better. Assume if I log in I'm working, unless I post. If I don't log in, I'm still feeling bad.

I am no longer sick. However, about...a week ago, maybe two, I had devastating few days. It is terribly difficult to talk about, not just emotionally painful, but requiring detail and articulation not easily made succinct. It sunk me. Almost as badly as sleeping in the car first was. That was my 10, being in the garage of a place, and sleeping in the car in April 2022. My other 10's are things like losing my last five teeth, or being lied to about my grand parents. This was a 9 though. These three days which I have trouble gauging whether it was the Friday before last, or the the Friday before that...it really sunk me.

I'm better now, but on totally different prioritized needs. I'm well enough to post in as game I play in. It's hard but it's something I can somewhat zone out on and not be penalized. I closed down three of my five games because of this event, and I'm not closing down this or my other current project. I have too much in this game that has been invested.

As as been the modus operandi, prior to the introduction; I will just worry about myself first and know you all have been patient for going on three years! When I'm less cool and skittish, I will proceed the game. Catharsis has its place in misfortune, but I want this game to be enjoyable most of all.

I can feel and also rationalize how the bad is the distancing from the worse, and only pathway to the better and ultimately good.

So I'll be gone for probably the remainder of November. Gods know this Thanksgiving will cheer me up over last. Makes me smile through it all.

I have a...well TMI incoming!!!

I have an ear infection that was passed on, two in fact. Outer ear and inner ear. So It is the equivalent of bad teeth or a migraine. Ear infections are plaguing my roommate's job, the county library system, as people go in full well knowing they, or their child, is sick.  That explains half. My trichotillomania the other half. *just looked up spelling and saw the short hand* So I shall now call that Trich, like I call my TS just (like most) Tourettes, not Tourette's Syndrome. I hadn't seen that term, but yheah, fuck having to spell that if I don't have to. Anyway, Left side of my....head...my left ear is just in agony. Nothing but cleaning and time will help. I'm given until Monday to wait to go the doctor, unless I get a fever. If either of those occur with the infections I'll need to schedule appointment.

So yeah, like migraine, even closing my eyes, swallowing! unconscious things hurrt!!!

I am really upset right now. Physically upset from the emotional upset. I have people in Rmail to talk to, and if you want to know what's going on, I'll rmail you too. I'm putting this game on hiatus until after the New here, and if I can't do it then, then....then I'm just throwing in the towel.

I don't have the energy to rephrase this. Someone, anyone, in group 1, please just rephrase this. I know not everyone is in group 1. *sigh* It's important, I know you understand. I just need to really pour out my own very bitter but hopeful attitude.
