Joys And Sorrows

Ash Greytree · Post by **Ash Greytree** » Mon Jul 20, 2020 9:44 pm

Sorrows: I had a persistent headache throughout the first half of the day, but it went away by around 5PM.

Sorrow: It's starting to get so hot out at night that I can't sleep in my room with just the fan.

Joy: My mother let me blow up an air mattress and I can sleep on it in the master bedroom with her and more importantly, the A/C!

Yay! Sleeping in the A/C.

I think I got your headache, Ash. Must be the heat.

Joy: My aunt's friend has already put an offer in our former house! I hope she can buy it!

CunningFox · Post by **CunningFox** » Wed Jul 22, 2020 11:45 am

Joy: My family's getting a kitten!

Hope so too, Dayzee.

Congrats, CunningFox!

Neat! I'd really like to have a cat, very much miss Andy who lived with us for ten years. But at our ages and stages, it might not be responsible - cats are a lot harder to "bequeath" than dogs.

That's wonderful, CunningFox. Does your family have a particular breed in mind?

Actually this news sort of brings up a sorrow for me.

Sorrow: After we moved to the new house, our to older cats Charley and Smokee ended up getting out and I don't think they are coming back.

I would like to think that they only got out because they had to go off to die since they were old but I'm not sure.

I hope they come back, amazz. Cats, I'm told, really do not like to relocate. Andy solved that problem for us by departing for a higher plane rather than waiting to move to New Hampshire. Best wishes for their safe return (they do often comeback after a short sulk).

More sorrow: They finally got around to putting my grandmother's name on the gravestone.

Joy: I have a move-in date for my new campus! The big day is August 28th.

Sorrow: I'm not eligible for early drop-off, so I have to bring everything I'll need when I move in, which sounds like a hassle.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Jul 25, 2020 12:48 am

I hope that you can make things as easy for you as you can when it comes to moving then Nathan.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Mon Jul 27, 2020 6:35 pm

Finished a bunch of legal paperwork ... FINALLY!

Post by **SeanWolf** » Mon Jul 27, 2020 6:39 pm

Joy: Chapter One of my novel is finished!

Sorrow/Funny: I have no idea what to do for Chapter 2

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Jul 28, 2020 1:06 am

Inappropriate joy: There is a problem with the people who wanted to buy our house which has to do with a loan from their bank so hopefully that means they will pull out. Of course my mother and her siblings will lose the money but I want the house to stay in the family.

Time to Kick Butt Joy: Working on GT Warriors' Pilot Special. If I work on it every day, I might complete it by National Power Rangers Day. (August 28.) Heck, I may even dub it as "Power Rangers' Grand Tribulation Friday" as a name for marketing the day of release. (Like the marketing of certain game releases such as Groundhog Day being dubbed "Hedgehog Day" for Sonic 3's release, or Mortal Monday for the home console Mortal Kombat release and so on.)

I apologize if that info is a bit much.

That does seem ambitious ... but, hey, DO IT, BABY, DO IT!!

Sorrow: I think I did something to my computer because the fan is running non-stop no matter what I do.

Have you tried unplugging it from the mains?

It's not a Windows computer so I'm not sure if that will work since its a Mac. It started when it was unplugged though and I got worried I did something to it. But just as I was about to restart it, the fan suddenly shut off. Who could have guessed that?

Joy: I just played my first game of Jackbox tonight, and it was with Rick and GameCobra on Twitch, AND I won at Bracketering!!

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Wed Jul 29, 2020 12:37 am

Joy. I have NO IDEA what Lego's on about.

Jackbox is a series of party game collections Rick occasionally plays on Twitch. Bracketering is one of those games, where players answer a prompt, then the answers are pitted against each other in a tournament bracket with the players get points for wagering which prompt will win. I took first in the final round, after trailing behind for most of the game, and it was my first time playing.

Joy: The lumber my dad and I ordered finally arrived so we're going to start a woodworking project tomorrow. I loved woodworking as a kid so I'm looking forward to it.
Sorrow: It won't keep us occupied for the while though. Turns out most of the shed is already pre-assembled, so all that's left is to put in a few screws. We're already planning our next project

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Jul 31, 2020 12:40 am

Hope that your next one will be a long project and something that you and your father can get done and take a lot of pride in it!

Sounds like fun Nathan, enjoy yourselves.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Fri Jul 31, 2020 10:21 am

Wonderful things, sheds........

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Jul 31, 2020 5:27 pm

Joy: Turns out that our cats weren't lost forever or went away to die like we thought. They just got lost in the neighborhood and a kind neighbor managed to find them and catch one of them for us. Yay!

trekkie · Post by **trekkie** » Fri Jul 31, 2020 5:32 pm

That’s great, Dayzee!

Nathan Kerbonaut · Post by **Nathan Kerbonaut** » Fri Jul 31, 2020 5:59 pm

That's a relief, Amazee.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Aug 01, 2020 3:18 am

More joy: We just caught the other cat and now he is back in the house her also. Yay!

trekkie · Post by **trekkie** » Sat Aug 01, 2020 6:55 am

Yay! More good news! Keep an eye on ‘me.

JamesTCat · Post by **JamesTCat** » Sat Aug 01, 2020 12:00 pm

Joy: Managed to survive my unwitting overload, as in I'm not dead yet. (It was an accidental overload as I wasn't thinking about what I was doing around that time.)

Yes, I will continue work on my fanfiction and I'll see to it that I will make said fanfiction go for as long as I intended.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Sat Aug 01, 2020 12:58 pm

Hurray for kind neighbors!

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Aug 01, 2020 2:46 pm

Sorrow: And in the long-running saga of things going wrong with this house, now the water heater went so my mother who had to go out had to take a freezing shower. And the heatwave is over.
