So I got to play D&D for the first time ever last night. It went pretty well. And everyone was incredibly nice and very patient with me and my ignorance on literally everything. The guy that sat next to me was especially beneficial and always looked over my shoulder to help explain things to me. I was very pleased to have met them all. They even asked how I liked things at the end, and if I planned on coming back, which I said I did.
The only bad thing about the evening was that I really started coming down with something. During the day, my throat had been kinda swollen like, but I had thought up until that point that maybe I was parched or something. But it got worse, and I felt a little congested, and then the body aches started and well, you can't really deny that sickness was there.
So I was having a good time but also at times really wanted to go home and rest. But I didn't want to poop out on everyone in the middle because I was in their party now so I made myself fight the rest of the encounter.
I am Valandra, the mighty tank of a Genasi. Here me roar. And see all my cool lightning and thundery powers.
So this morning I got up and piggybacked my way into my mother's doctor's visit. My mother was sick too, so she drug me along so that maybe I could be seen too. Luckily the people at the office are some very nice people and I didn't see anyone else waiting in the office to begin with.
Apparently I have an ear infection... wtf. And something else I can't remember. Whatever it was it was probably triggered by the ear infection since the ears nose and throat are all connected. My ears don't hurt, thank goodness. They aren't really bothering me at all. But I wasn't surprised to hear they had a lot of fluid in them. And that I had signs of bad allergies, which was certainly no news to me.
And so I'm on antibiotics now and I'm happy to say that I feel a difference already. My congestion is pretty much all gone, and while I still feel slightly achy and off it's not as bad as it was. And the throat has really gone down. So yay.
I'm supposed to sing Christmas Eve for crying out loud. :)
