Hey, it's me...
This has been a weirdly intense week.
On the one hand, I've felt very much at loose ends. Like I've been doing stuff, but don't really feel like I've had a direction and, at various points, I've felt pleased with things or very, very lost and dissatisfied.
I signed back into Facebook for the first time forever. I'm still not entirely convinced it was a good idea. I was partly lured back by the promise of a SimLit Facebook group. Still, what I really used to convince myself to do it was the idea that it was the last "place" I "saw" so many of my old friends. I think I hoped to reconnect with them, while avoiding the general filth that is Facebook. On both fronts, I would call it a tepid success.
I posted a link to one of my Wyrd Tales short stories (A Tartosan Wedding), which was written to be a good introduction to my characters for new readers. It got some likes. I've made a few general posts and replied to some posts from friends. Those have gotten some likes and a scattered few responses. Still, I'm not sure either is really scratching that "want to interact with people" itch as well as I'd hoped. I think I'll stick with it a little while longer and maybe lower my expectations.
In health news, I tried metformin - a diabetes drug - for the first time. Within about a half hour of taking it, I crashed super hard... like couldn't keep my eyes open, could barely lift my arms, tingling all over. Juno looked over the side effects list of the meds and immediately got me some maple candy. Felt better within minutes. So, maybe metformin isn't for me. Reached out to my doctor, but haven't heard back yet.
In other news, Juno and I started up a new rpg campaign. I'm adapting the D&D adventure Wild Beyond the Witchlight for us to play. We managed to get in a short introductory session and it's been fun so far. We also managed to start (but not yet finish) a new game of Age of Sigmar, testing out some house rules that seem to working well. The "new" edition of Age of Sigmar is trash, so we're making our own... because, of course I am.
That all sounds really impressive as I write it up... so why do I feel like this has been an unfocused, dissatisfying and emotionally draining week? Probably because there is a lot of just laying around feeling unhappy in the gaps there.
Ah well, I can work on that.
Onward
