Back after hiatus and rock soccer
Hello again out there. I've decided that my self-imposed silence is over and I'm ready to return to being (somewhat) more social. I had cogent reasons for being quiet but I'm done now.
Part of why I didn't want to write for awhile was that I knew I wasn't "right". I didn't know what, if anything, was wrong with me but I didn't feel like I thought I should feel. So, off to therapy at the beginning of the year. Turns out I had a massive vitamin D deficiency that looked an awful lot like chronic depression. Many horse pills later and a permanent regimen of Costco trips I am . . .better. I still don't like taking pills that much and it's kind of an annoying relief my issue was easily diagnosed and solved but the good far outweighs that.
So other than that life goes on apace. I quit the annoying guild in World of Warcraft I belonged to and found another annoying (but somewhat different) guild to belong to. I did a lot of paring of my scheduled events and indulged my inner hermit. I also acquired a kitten. Her name is Andromeda and yes, she has an email address but at this point her coordination isn't up to typing. Running into windows while killing Mr. Blue Octopus Stuffy is about her speed currently. I blame the crossed eyes; her age (12 weeks) has NOTHING to do with it. Nothing.
Having a new kitten is very educational. I learned this week about rock soccer. This is a sport best played with a small, non-round rock on a slick tile floor. A bathroom is preferred because of the acoustical properties. Timing is very important in this sport as well. Rock soccer is best played at sunrise but in any case the games are to be had before 7 am. For the human who was formerly sleeping in the bedroom adjacent, well. I needed to get up early. Really. The great advantage in rock soccer is that it is played with a small rock. When said disgruntled formerly sleeping human staggers up, places both rock and kitten outside and returns to bed another rock is easily obtained so that the game is merely interrupted rather then ended. As said human is much more likely to dispose of the rock then the bathroom or the kitten the games will continue for the foreseeable future. It's not like the outside is running out of rocks, after all.
