Things lately

[dan2]

It's not been very fun lately. I won't be around yet again, and I can't say much for next week either. Work has been so incredibly busy with either funding 20 vehicles a day or dealing with the numerous breakdowns and/or accidents. This time of year my boss has vacations scheduled and that leaves lots of responsibility on me and for some reason the stress of that responsibility has been leaving me worse for wear. So between having to finance a whole year's worth of vehicles in three months, I got roped into going to Philly for an inspection of our fleet in that area. Then I have to come back to running the whole office in the absence of my boss.

I've been tired, sick to my stomach and having tension headaches back to back. It's all because no matter what I do, no matter how many hours I put in, nothing makes a bit of difference. I should accept it and move on, but I feel the need to try to control it and I can't. The only advice my doctor has for me is to take a regular dose of anti-anxiety meds and that shit just isn't good for me, it takes me out of life.

I stayed home today because I've thrown up every day since Friday due to nerves, with the exception of last night where the tension broke and I let it go, only to have the loose tension give me a crippling headache.

Sorry for all the bitching, but I figured I owed some sort of explanation for my being so absent lately. With everything going on with my Grandmother and her surgery, my job and the goddamned weather, I've just felt like total shit for months and a bit overwhelmed.

its ok, my health has gone to crap. I'm on massive doses of meds right now and it may all culminate with some kind of bariatric surgery. Dunno, but its looking more and more likely. Still have no bathtub, either.

The upside is that Jay mentioned he might be able to free up the occasional saturday. So, if you are able and Jim is able, we might be able to blow off some steam rolling some dice and killing some green skins.

Yeah, a couple of Saturdays would be fun.

As for your health, I know it's got to be hard, but shit like that once it gets out of hand can snowball quickly no matter what you do to try to stop it. The state of health and nutrition in this country is pretty despicable. Hopefully things will work out for the best.

The bathtub, well, you may have to bite the bullet and go with the plumber for $3,000 or whatever it was.

Yeah at this point a Saturday or two per month would work for me. If I have my info correct I'm assuming the game was supposed to be from 2 to 7 ish? I'll be available to play during that time as long as something doesn't pop up (family shit) that would keep me from gaming.

I still say you(Slaine) should just hose off out on the porch. That's what I would do. Fuck the neighbors and Bristol.

[Nevereverend Slaine]

How do you both feel about this coming saturday, the 2oth?

I'll see if can get hold of Jim.

[Deleted]

Sounds fine for me. I'll roll by around 2.

[dan2]

That's a good idea. I'll Pick Jim up if needs be. If you can get hold of him, let me know if I have to pick him up. That still leaves this Wednesday out for me. I'll drag a stupid movie along Saturday just in case.

Ok I got ahold of jim. Looks like we have a game day.

Dan, what time are you picking up Jim?

[dan2]

Between 1:30 and 2.

[Nevereverend Slaine]

Jay, any chance you could get here a little before 2? I just want to get a jump on building your character.

Possibly. I may be in Wallingford working with my dad. If that's the case if I get done early I'll show up. If not then my arrival will be marked with the death of a dozen pigeons. Wait... never mind about that. I'll do my best. Keep in mind this is my character creation we're talking about. It will take 5 - 10 minutes.

Well, to throw a minor wrench in the works, Priscilla has come down with a bad fever (101.5) and is ill. She came home early today and is requesting to be left alone.

I still should be able to show up tomorrow, but I may have to leave early to take care of her because she's basically bedridden. I should be able to feed her and get her medicine before I leave, but I'll have to get back to the house before it's late so I may want to cut out as close to 7 as possible.
