Thanks Mac for hosting this! I really REALLY needed to play a less touchy-feely character, but still an insane one.
Confession time: I almost dropped out of the game because it's been a hard couple of weeks. When I signed up I couldn't imagine that my vacation would turn in 2 funerals. I took an extra week of vacation to visit my mom in the hospital (as some of you guys know, she lives 12 hours away from me, so it takes literally a whole day to go see her and back). Turns out she spent almost two weeks in the hospital, in a coma, and passed away 11 days ago. 10 days ago, my aunt who'd been fighting cancer for half a decade also died. She lived on the next block here.
So you can guess it's been a couple of hard weeks for me and my family and I considered dropping from the game, but I'm really glad I didn't. I needed the distraction, to get any voice in my head. It actually made me start a fic that will probably never see the light of day, but at least it made me think all other kinds of things.
Yeah, that's it. I'm fine. We are fine. My father is blessedly doing better than I ever hoped he would. Life goes on is the right motto. I'm going home in a week, back to my routine, and until then I'll have Five and his brothers and sisters in my mind keeping me entertained when I'm not busy dealing with bureaucratic things for my father.
