No game night tonight

I tried to email post this, but it didn't go through.

someotherguy reminded me that I said I wouldn't overdo it after surgery, and I'm completely wiped today*, so there you have it. No game night. Sorry, folks! See you next time.





*Slept wayyyyy long, and still I'm weak and coughy and tired. My hands especially don't feel like they have any strength, and I am finding it a little wearying to *type*, so yeah, prolly shouldn't have a party.

The good, the bad, yada yada

Good stuff:

• took the day off from work, with their blessings, and mostly rested
• took a nice, slow walk in the rain with someotherguy
• read some of The Audacity of Hope
• ate a bit more than I'm actually in the mood for, but it was tasty
• remembered to take all my meds at the right times

Bad stuff:

• they chipped my tooth when they put in the tube in the hospital, and now that I'm noticing it, it's irritating me
• the fatigue is getting me down a little. If I thought I was low-energy before, that was nothing. It winds me to cross the room.
• whether I'm sick or it's the meds I don't know, but I have some irritating symptoms in addition to the fatigue, the details of which I will spare you

Bad/good: Mom got really sick again and ended up back in the hospital. They're telling her there's no permanent fix, but now that she's feeling a little better, she's decided to make a pest of herself until they either figure out what she needs to do differently, or offer her a treatment regimen that will make her stop getting sick a couple times a week. Go, mom. Also on the good end of that is that my brother was there to take her to the hospital and keep her company some, and that her dearest friends also visited her lots.
