I am very sorry for your episode, pain and medical experience dear.  Believe me I feel for you.  I am glad you are home and getting better.  Will light a candle for you and focus the power of today's Full Moon for your speedy recovery!

All the best Bella.  Thinking good thoughts and praying to the Goddess for you.

Arya,

I like you...

For clever complexities of writing, characterization and plot.

And for always being there when I need positive support and reinforcement!

Thanks very much for the good thoughts!  Dad is doing better and coming home from the hospital tomorrow. Mom is pretty frazzled so I'm going to stay for a few days and help take care of things.

Hopefully things will work out well. Again thanks for the positive energy!

I was planning on being around the last few days and this weekend but my dad went in for a test at the hospital and it turned out he needed some additional care and so he got to stay. Lucky him. I drove down to help mom out. Not sure when he's going to be out.

As always, the Lady of Pain more than lived up to her name!  Great battle, nasty monsters, personal taunting...this had it all!  Thanks so much!

And it was an awesome party too.

This might not be very helpful but...

I certainly do get in a similar way sometimes.  I may be down, feeling poorly, mopey, uncommunicative, slow...it happens to us all, and some of us more than others.  I tend to be pretty quiet in RL and it is often difficult to separate out how the outside world impacts the game world.  

I deal with it usually by doing my absolute best to subsume myself in the character I'm playing.  I do tend to play social, chatty, (hopefully) witty PCs, and if I can assume their statement of mind and presence then it becomes much easier to be interactive, inclusive, and interesting.  I usually have a bard around that I really like playing, so if a situation arises IG that calls for charming, witty, short-skirted fun I can roll out Sheighley, even if my other characters are involved in weighty, realms-threatening drama.  

This works well for me, for I find after I've played someone interactive and high-energy, I get a recharge personally and find my mood and thoughts uplifted. I'm sure this isn't for everyone, but it is great for me!

It's cause you are so cute when you beg, Darvins.  So, so cute...

When I first typed the title, autocorrect made into "a Rerun". Hopefully not a sign!

Anyway, thanks to the people who have sent me notes and welcomes already. That was very appreciated!  I hope to be able to be doing some stuff both in game and in the forums. I'm back to work and feeling pretty good. Just trying to make sure I keep everything in perspective.

Great to see everyone!

Have fun dear!

Welcome indeed!  Hope you find some fun here.

Heh.  Will help you with the feel good stuff!

*huggles* I feel you.  It can be very difficult, what you were doing, and the end results may not always be pleasing.  Hope that you are looking out for yourself as well and taking care of things.

LOLOLOL  OK that made my day.  You guys are the awesome-ness.
