Thank you! So good to hear from you. I was wondering if I'd lost everyone I'd been chatting with. Easy to do on social media these days. I've been running strange hours. Two awake four asleep, two asleep six awake, eighteen awake six asleep, two awake and so on and so forth. Been a strange ride. Today I played for...well, let's see. I woke up yesterday at 11:30am and my son wanted to play, so I let him. At 7pm I kicked him off and played until 5am, then slept until 11:30-ish and began playing, until 7pm. Then I napped for two and a half hours waking up for some water, a restroom break and pain medicine. I haven't left the house except for yesterday morning when I went to fix an elderly gentleman's television set, then came home to find my son still on the game. It's just been very odd for me.
I am coping with pain on a level that would send most people to the looney bin. It's debilitating, but I manage to get by with medicine and distractions. I fight for my family and friends. So that's why I'm constantly in need of distraction and companionship.
I didn't mean to just up and leave, it was just that I had found a new plaything and I've been exploring its depths for some time, occasionally surfacing to share what I've learned. The one thing I've learned is that it pays to be patient and enjoy the ride.
Hope you are well and doing good.
Much love and light,
