Title: Heads up: last week of May news for Arya
Post by: Arya on May 05, 2014, 05:25 AM
Hello everyone,

In the last week of May sometime, I will be heading to Texas for my oldest cousin's graduation (I am the oldest of the cousins).  Theoretically, I should only be gone a week.  But if weather or something becomes a problem, it might be a second week.  For the most part, commute hours notwithstanding, I anticipate I will have regular forum access, but whether I will have NWN access or not, is another matter. It will just all depend on how stable my eight year old laptop is. :-D

You will not be rid of me entirely, as a result.  Deal with it. ;-)


Sincerely,
Arya

Where in Texas?  At the risk of offending some natives, I would say San Antonio is one of the most beautiful cities in the South...D/FW, not so much.  ;)

At any rate I sure hope it is a lovely trip!

The Dallas/FW area.  Arlington, more specifically.

In any case, it is still a bit around three weeks away yet, but I wanted to throw the heads up. So that if anyone wants to take care of anything in-game before then, they know I will be gone a week.

Sincerely,
Arya

We'll all be waiting in the courtyard and pick up on the hours of role playing when you return!

It seems that unless something comes at the last moment, we are leaving Wednesday on the 28th! And it will likely be more close to two weeks, unless I get a job interview sooner.  If you need any IC interactions taken care of before I leave, now is the best time to address them.  On the upside, I have more time to clean up around here! 


Sincerely,
Arya

Postscript: Should have forum access for sure in between things. My laptop, may or may not work with NWN in its age. So that is on standby.

You'll be arriving as I'm leaving.  We're visiting family down between Austin, Houston, and San Antonio.

XD Go figure. We are going to be in the Dallas area.

Arrived in Kansas.  Seems the laptop works on minimal settings, for the time.  :-) So you will see me about in between things, when I get breaks from roadtripping or relatives. Yay!

Off to Texas, tomorrow, from central Kansas.

Keeping folks who do not have my Facebook in the loop.

I am in Texas, and can access the forums only at this point (not even Skype).  My laptop cannot connect to the internet, and it is a registry issue - something I do not want to try fixing lest I ruin the thing.  I will be back in the game world sometime after this weekend passes!

Sincerely,
Arya

Ouch.  I guess that means you get to enjoy the scenic beauty that is Texas?

In the meanwhile, we'll try to keep from burning the place down!

Oh you all did it again!  Val: I am telling RJ on you. ;-) And DA, you are so going to get it! Daphne, you knew you were going to get it anyway.  *Wink*

You all just enjoy it -HOT- around here, don't you? :P

Well, here is some news...

My cousin got her M.D. (we are all proud of her), but also is going through surgery this coming Monday.  The surgery will determine whether she has cancer or not.  Am crossing my fingers for the better.

As a result, I will likely be until Tuesday or Wednesday night before I get tentative NWN access again.  In the mean time, I will troll the forums and make the best of the next few, otherwise intense days.

Sincerely,
Arya

Thank you, Daphne and Val. :-)  It means a lot.  I will keep everyone informed once we survive the procedures tomorrow.

*Passes the hugs and lurvs.*

Eek also good luck for your sister, *sigh* you take a week away and....

Post by: Arya on Jun 03, 2014, 07:47 AM
Good news!

She has not been found with cancer.  And they were able to do the procedures without her losing anything major.  All vitals have been accounted for, and no big ugly scars will be left behind.  

There were a total of four cysts they removed, piece by piece. Together, they were huge and scary looking on the scans. But things are good now! We are just waiting for when they are ready for us to take her home.

Thank you everyone for your positive energies!

Sincerely,
Arya

That's very good news indeed!

Post by: Arya on Jun 03, 2014, 12:02 PM
Just got her home.  She just needs helped around a bit for today and cannot do any heavy lifting for a few weeks.  

Still unsure when we will get out of here. It is going to depend on the weather.  But should be around tomorrow night, if I am not tonight!  So far, things are looking good though.

Sincerely,
Arya

Thanks for the kind words and positive energies, everyone! Could definitely use them after this weekend, especially with how negative things seem to be as of late.  

We are leaving for the road tomorrow.  Trying to find news on the weather, so if we cannot find anything good, please send positive energies our way and pray we do not get sucked away via nasty hail storms or tornadoes. We have to brave Oklahoma City.  

Sincerely,
Arya

I'm sending the positive energy, I'm uh... I'm sending positive energy because get this... Back when I was destroying the alien mothership with Will Smith, I could feel alot of positive energies and uh... It was uh... It was very good. Tornadoes are the same, they're the same because they're unpredictable, like aliens. I hope you get home safely, I'm Jeff Goldblum.

xD Made my day.

And I am in Kansas right now. Got laptop access to NWN again.  It may get fickle with too much stuff going on.  

Phew! No more spammage of this until something new happens.

I will be heading back to Boulder this Wednesday or Thursday, depending on the weather. Woo!

I love my family, but I really, really would like my own room again.  And to get started on regular exercising, resume a more active job search, etc.  Feeling pretty depressed here.

On the upside, I am a third done with my second chapter of my rewritten novel and I will likely get it done this week sometime!

Sincerely,
Arya

Back in Colorado, finally!

Should be seeing me go on dungeon crawls more and things of that nature.  Though maybe not tonight since I just got back.
