Big day today! Walked to the mailbox and back without dragging along oxy tank.

Got slower and slower as I went, but made it. ....and of course every single piece was junk mail.

No bills? I call that a big win for both the walk and the mail.

Heh, yeah. I know they're coming. Will likely be the most painful part of this whole thing.

Drove yesterday evening first time since the hit. Wasn't supposed to extend into night, but grocery store pick-up service was running an hour behind. But anyway. Found out the C-carpfish has hit my eye-sight. Am certainly hoping it doesn't stay perm as my night vision is now all full of light flares.

Muscles feel like noodles, constantly fatigued, and random aches & pains. Just like some of the news stories say - can cause just about any sort of random after-effect(s). Every day an adventure.

Edit 11/9: Back to C-Negative for me. Still trying to coerce my lungs to get working again. day-by-day.

Glad to hear you’re home and getting better brother.
Happy belated Veterans Day too.

Keep pressing forward CD. I know you got this!

The Covid diet plan. Harsh, highly unhealthy, but effective.

Was 280ish going in. Currently 238.

Still improving, I think. maybe. Very very slow.

...

Carry on.

[Mazeratti]

... so anyway....

80 year anniversary. /Salute.

On a more personal update - little over a month since I cleared the hospital and just not back to being self again. I have weaned myself off the oxy hose for the most part, unless I have a store run to do or something. Tried a little yard work a few days ago - that didn't go well. Picked up on handful of fallen branches and had to head back inside and oxy up a few minutes.

There aren't enough expletives to describe the suckage of this carpfish.

Unrelated - Seems not everyone is happy with this year's absence of snow so far.

Kinduva bummer in a weird Midwest kind of way. I'm sitting here in the tornado belt of the Midwest and have now felt TWO earthquakes, and have yet still to see a dang tornado.

Sitting at desk paying bills this morning, and felt a slight double shake of the house. Texted wife & daughter who felt nothing, and was nothing at that point on FB, so dismissed it. But it was a thing.

missed early graduation form deadline by a weekend. blegh.
hopefully all this means is i need to pay an extra semester's tuition... but the symptoms could be worse. wrench is a wrench, hopefully it isn't stuck between gears.

[cdbd3rd]

Bummer on the graduation, DB, but don't be in a hurry to get past college days. That's when the real adulting begins.


--------------------


Meanwhile, positive waves out to the folks in/near the nasty bit of tornado action last night thru AR, MO, TN, and KY.

I have several gaming friends in KY, one lives just 5 miles past where the monster lifted up.


Found one vid just showing drone vid without commentary.

to be fair, been living on my own for more than a year now just fine. not much socialising going on in college so bleh. started the job hunt.
hopefully i can find some work in japan, since i'll need to be physically present for my thesis presentation.

Pulmonary doc appt yesterday.

Says I can probably expect another 6-8 weeks feeling like I've got a rock sitting in my chest. Another x-ray shows there is significant improvement since the ER one. (Go figure)

Got admonished for weaning myself off oxy maybe too soon, and to get back to sleeping with the hose. (Bummer)

Otherwise, be as active as I can without overdoing it. Rough advice for someone who has dealt with most things old-school = rub some dirt on it and walk it off til it feels better.

Unreal is out n about, means new vids popping up on YouTube.

I haven't been on the forums much these last few weeks. Other than doing some hardcore server with hubby and Annex and occasionally Cd (great gaming with you Cd!) I really haven't been giving DDO much thought... so its really weird, but I dreamed I was building the intro quest for the next Ravenloft mini-expansion. Like, in the world-builder program landscaping and setting out a ruined cathedral at the end of this lonely wooded road, just covering it in ravens, stat-ing the ravens, preparing for a Hitchcock style, ornithophobia inducing encounter. To do this, the ravens were not individual organisms but like the gnat swarms in KotB, the ravens were stated and lived or died as "flocks." Inside the quest, I knew the Cathedral was haunted but like Death House the goal was to learn the ghosts were the good guys then aid them to rest. There I was setting up NPCs and writing dialogue trees.

But here's the part that really doesn't make sense... I've never really used one of those programs, the closest I've come was fiddiling with the Morrowind editor. I understand how all that stuff works hypothetically, but I don't know any programming language. So where in my imagination was all that coming from?
