October Is A New Month
It's the start of October. A new month.
I have to say that I'm really glad to see the back end of September, as it was (once more) a relatively bad month. I don't know what October will bring, but it can't be much worse than the last several months have been. While there were a couple of good things that happened in September, pretty much most of the month was miserable for me. I'm still dealing with the health issues that I had starting in June that have me pretty scared still, that have continued to screw with my head, and have given me a great deal of stress to deal with. Throw in the severe allergies (which are usual for the month) and the terrible Air Quality Index, and let's just say that it wasn't a great month. According to the doctors, I'm still suffering from the concussion that I had in late August (the effects of which I may finally be getting over, though I'm not certain of this), as the latest x-ray that was taken early last week shows that I've got a healing hairline fracture of the skull from when I fell. *sigh*
When one adds the state of the world - the events of which in September I'm not going to talk about here, 'cause everyone who reads this blog is probably aware of them - the month was just not a good one in so many regards. Just more proof that humans are their own worst enemy in so many regards.
As for October, well... As of today, I don't have a lot going on this month. There's a couple of doctor appointments so far (including a footcare appointment) and a few other things. I've still got to schedule a colonoscopy, but that's got to wait until I buy the toilet that I need for the upstairs of the house. (I'm working on that, but it's taking time to get a favourable deal done and there's been a major complication with that project so...) I'm just going to try and take the month day-by-day if possible, am going to try and relax and not stress over stuff as much as I can. And I'm going to find one positive thing every day, even if it's just a small thing, so that I don't fall into a state of total despair with all the personal and world shite going on.
While I'm planning to continue gaming with both the Friday night and Sunday afternoon groups, running the games of course, winter is coming and that will wreak havoc on the gaming schedule for both groups. Throw in the fact that the player who joined the Sunday group after CanGames dropped out this past week, and my mental state about gaming isn't in a good place. That said, I'm looking forward to getting in whatever gaming I can this month. It's important to get as much gaming in as possible during October (and November) as the winter months will likely bring a lot of weather that prevents gaming. So I'll see how that goes.
But for now, a nice cup of hot tea.
