Joys And Sorrows

Sorrow: Felt rather burnt out in regards to video games. I don't know how nor why but I still feel rather burnt out in regards to... well... Everything. I don't know how long I can hold on but I don't know if the passion could still be there, especially since I have a fast connection but there's nothing good on anymore in addition to even SEGA themselves joining the digital subscription bandwagon.

Annoyance: Trying to plan a family get-together with my mother, aunts and cousins and we can't pick a day because everybody is working during the week and it's hard to find time for it. Not to mention I am 97% sure that whatever day we choose will be a day they make me work and say its too late to take off.

Choreographing travel gatherings is enought to make your head explode into ten thousand colorful and interesting pieces. Putting this trip together took almost as long as we will eventually be together. Paul is a zoom lawyer but Ruth and Paul's wife, Helen, are educational administrators who are tied to the school system. What people do NOT understand is that, just because the little darlings have vacation, administrators are not totally free (nor are teacher's, by the way). They have what they call "loose time" which is time for chores where (1) you gotta work in the office and (2) while you can choose when to come in, you BETTER HAVE THIS STUFF DONE before the precious elvins return to their dungeons after New Years. Eleanor works for the Humane Society and Christmas is a busy time (all those puppy and Kitten stocking-stuffers). For geezers, it's often rescheduling that sinus inspection appointment that you got during this time because the next available appointment was early March but then you, silly old senior, wanted to travel for the holiday.

You have my sympathies, Amazz.

Joy: Finally managed to pick a day at least that is what it looks like and if they ask me to come in, I am just gonna call out sick and say that I can't come in because I can't stop coughing or my nose won't stop running.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Tue Dec 31, 2024 11:53 am

What a charmer! You, too, DDeer ... you are missed and hope you and the missus have a Happy New Year!

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Dec 31, 2024 3:15 pm

We really just want you to stay as this place has not been the same without you and we could do with some familiar faces who have been a part of this forum! Next time you decide to post we are locking down ALL of the exits.

Sorrow: I think I have a cold or the flu because I woke up feeling HORRIBLE.

CunningFox · Post by **CunningFox** » Tue Dec 31, 2024 8:57 pm

joy: i had a DISE surgery today. i know it doesnt sound like a joy but it wasnt bad or scary and was actually a pleasant experience. i got to take home some grippy socks and an armband that says ADVERSE REACTION. too bad i didnt get to take the gown home cause that was an absolute fashion statement.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Fri Jan 03, 2025 12:55 am

Glad you're better, snowy, and your sense of humor remains undiminished by all the best efforts of modern medicine.

Joy: I THINK I am now finally starting to get better as my congestion seems to abating. This is day 3 of this cold.

Joy: I am on day 4 and I don't have to prop my head up or tilt it to feel less stuffy anymore!

You don't look like you're that pleased, Ginga(!) (I'm kidding...)

I started a new audiobook while I was playing some Minecraft (A Dragon's Guide to the Care and Feeding of Humans) and the first chapter started out with a vivid description of preferring to finish grieving one pet before getting another but not getting the chance.

So that was a lovely surprise punch to the gut.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Jan 06, 2025 3:50 am

Joy: I am now fully healed from my cold and can breathe again fully! I can't believe how much I could take this simple act for granted.

Delight: Got inspired by the Amazing Digital Circus. Now I'm looking forward to working on my housepets fanfics at some point. Hopefully I'll be able to pull it off, especially with King being a mix of Caine, a SYStem OPerator and a Mascot with Attitude (last part being being how King is able to get himself psyched and all that comes with it.)

Headin' home today but didn't make it home. Got grounded in Baltimore. Oh, well, that's why God invented next time. Cheers and light flurries, all!

Despair: Still having problems with medication. I will need actual help instead of the pills being pushed to everyone as a easy fix.

Gosh, I hope so too, Dayzee! You've had a rough several weeks lately.

Fires are subsiding in Los Angeles and our kids are fine. Sheesh! Sadly, the missus has picked up a cold, too.

Farewell to Presiednt Carter.
Folk's'll argue how good a President he was, but he was a good person.

Son and daughter families in Los Angeles are safe, but tens of thousands of folks are not. This is very not good.

Can we please have ONE January where the planet's not on fire?

My gang's still safe, even have electricity ... but this firestorm is the worst in California's history, they say. The news footage is heartbreaking.

Glad to hear that Weston, seen reports on the news over here, hard to comprehend the level of devastation, hoping the weather turns so the fire risk lessens.
