Such a newb - added not so much tags to the photos as blurbs. Got it; tags for real next time. I have a third cat but not a good picture of him here yet.

Fall's bad, wow. The move sucked, then the sprain, then the knee and here's something i didn't quite get before but i get now - if you're like me and you do have a Condition (in my case WTF Pain all the time + Whatever Disease) an injury shuts you the fuck down. I've gone so many days in a row without talking to humans other than Husband. I wanted to walk a bunch around the neighbourhood to begin exercising and nope.

Ok, to be real, i do not have 'let's go visit X' friends anyhow. I am that weirdo in your neighbourhood that is super happy to interact with children and pets but around adults of the typical type i tend to be cold, awkward, or neckbeardy. Pain makes me a bit blunter, and i can be a blurter. Anyways. None of that matters, we've all got our warts, i just can't seem to unclench to either level up an acquaintance to friend level or to make a friend. I feel, i dunno, too unreliable an investment?

I really do think i'd be in considerable trouble with my mental health (another fun fact: being in pain all the time literally makes you crazy, specifically anxiety and sometimes ptsd) if it were not for the internet. And video games. Yeah @Catdad, fallout is my JAM though nowadays the continued shambles the Wasteland is in strains my credulity, but like, not enough to forgo getting my VATS on. Right now i'm mmoing with Elder Scrolls, but i can't quite recommend the game. Well yes. But no. My feelings are complicated on that frigging game, but i love it to be honest.

You know, tho, the short story first draft is almost done and i have Ideas where to expand on the second. This...might work.

Great to hear the writing is going well.  I admire those with the ability.  Are you in the Writer's Group here?  Sorry you are having to manage pain.  It seems like there are a lot more people, primarily women, battling conditions or fuzzily diagnosed diseases in their prime than there used to be.  I'm wondering if we'll find out they are manifesting from something we've introduced into the environment over the last several decades.  Something basic like the recent discovery that AM radio interferes with birds' ability to detect magnetic north.  Meanwhile, everyone has been lamenting the decline of birds in cities and demonizing cats as a significant cause.  Sorry, got carried away with the editorializing.  I always considered getting into Elder Scrolls online when it eventually went F2P, but don't have the time.  I don't get into LotRO for months at a time, especially this year.  Pillars of Eternity was just about perfect, as far as capturing the 'old skool' feel of the 2D isometric games I fell in love with in the late 90s without feeling 'old'.  Sooooo looking forward to playing the expansion...sometime after I get bored with Fallout 4.  :/

I'm not in the writer's group, at least, not yet. I have some trouble with balancing my own output with everything else; basically if there's anything else to do besides write, i'll do that instead. When i get the discipline settled i'll likely sidle on over there.
