I haven't given a comprehensive update in a while, so here goes.
Illness
My leukocyte count has gotten low again and the dosage of my chemo meds have been reduced again. As a result, I'm having increased inflammations happening all over my body-- mainly my eyes, wrists, and sinuses. It's all pretty discomforting, but it's still a tolerable level of discomfort.
Work
My pace at work has slowed down, but fortunately people are understanding and my boss isn't very concerned about my decreased productivity. He said I should take it easy for now and focus on improving my health, for which I am thankful.
Tierkreis
Still utterly uninterested and I haven't even read any of the news about this new game.
Move
Can't wait to start moving into my new apartment.
It'd be good to live in a "real" building once again.
Relatives
I've gotten in contact with a lot more of my relatives in Germany, including one guy who is 84 years old.
He even uses the internet! It's probably because he's an engineer-- he has patents on air-conditioning systems used on passenger trains.
Investment
The value of my investment portfolio has decreased by about 50% in the last two months. Ahahahah!
I have faith that things will get better again, so I'm gonna continue to hold on to my stocks...
in fact, I'm investing more because stocks are real cheap right now.
Venice
We're facing an incredible attack by Spain and France. The combined forces have about 10 times more players, but we managed to fend them off and take some of their ports. The strength of Venice is that we have so many enemies that we're pretty well united, and we can coordinate our attacks a lot better than our enemies. However, if the same level of activity continues, we'll definitely run out of juice.
