In case you’re sick of those warm cuddly pets, here’s Nemo

I have had a full fantastic day of solid RP, like just wall to wall super enjoyable character development and relationship building and it’s not even over yet.

I honestly thought that kind of gaming experience was gone for me and I’m so glad it’s not.

Hello friends.

My mom is in the final stages of dementia, which means she spent the last week and a half in the hospital with a respiratory infection and I spent a lot of time with her because she can’t be left alone, along with working full time and being a mom and feeling like I’m failing everyone across the board. She has recovered enough to come home today but it’s very very likely it’ll happen again soon (it’s already happened once before this).

On top of this I am still trying to shake getting COVID last month. On top on TOP of this, I haven’t been able to get my antidepressants refilled until Wednesday. I really loathe saying I’m not okay but I’m not okay right now. I have a very strong support system, but the bench is shallow and only a little less worn out than I am.

I think I can keep from going apeshit on anyone for the next 48 hours but just in case the brain weasels win, go easy on me, ‘k?

I think this is after I told him he wasn’t allowed to eat the cat.

When a game I want to love just makes me feel tired and empty inside.

I went to my neuro today and told her the medication she put me on got me down to 6 or 7 migraines a month (this is a tremendous improvement for me). But she looked at me and was like, I think we can do better. And gave me several other options for further decreasing the migraines.

I should have done this years ago.

I don’t feel like playing any more and I can’t really identify why. Just waiting to see if it passes.

When you’re not at all sure that something you worked really hard on is going to land well…and it lands really fucking well.

My mom’s dementia has gotten severe enough that she was put into hospice care last week. I’m doing okay, I don’t really want to talk about it but if you notice I’m scare, well, that’s why.

Yes, I know creating a character is hard. No, I am not going to do it for you no matter how many hints you drop on in the chat.

An RL friend got me into Harper’s Tale (Pern MOO) when we were in high school. I have long since lost touch with that friend, but I’m still MUing!

@Tez I think with all the newish contenders and absent legends this year, Chunk is winning by a popularity vote instead of a fatness vote. But I think I’m okay with it.

@Tez Confession…I didn’t vote for Chunk. But I will also not be mad if he wins.

@Tez 602 is magnificent!

When someone you hero-worshipped as a child turns out, 30 years later, to be into some of the conspiraciest of conspiracy theories.

@Ashkuri God there’s so many easier ways

Game when?

I’m so tired of solving other people’s problems. I would really like for someone to solve my problems for a change.
