The week of suck

[worldoflucky]

I do have to say this week has sucked a lot. It started with having to turn my computer in. I did get my computer back on Wednesday (4 days early) so I guess I can't complain too much. Unfortunately getting it back early hasn't helped as it has been the week of suck.

Sunday:
Sunday was awesome. I hung out with ethicalcannibal, ran her some solo gaming, then got some solo gaming ran by her for me. Sunday did not suck at all, well except turning in the computer for repairs. Like I said above though, I was busy enough I didn't notice it.

Monday:
Work sucked, there are some annoying entity staff at my current audit. They have put off doing what they were supposed to do and it impacts my work.  I did work out on Monday, so no complaints on that part.

Tuesday:
Tuesday sucked because ethicalcannibal had a really sucky day. Her disease kicked up to almost as bad as when she was in full thyroid storm. The end result was she left school this quarter. It may require us paying back money, but I don't care, I only care that she gets taken care of. She is worried, but I am trying to reassure her. I am happy as long as I get to spend my life with her, everything else I can get over. I ended up taking the whole day off from work, but because work is going sucky I ended up working 9.5 or more hours anyways from home.

Wednesday:
Wednesday I got sick. It started with a sore throat and a crappy feeling. I called in to work, but I still ended up working like 6 hours from home. By the end of the day I was sweating, feverish and fully sick. Sick enough that the wife had to basically pin me down and make me drink Nyquil. The one good part of this day was that I got my computer back. They replaced the logic board. Unfortunately I was too sick to play with it.

Thursday (Today):
Even sicker this morning. I actually had to use a full sick day, no working from home. Although I did get to play with the computer and by the end of the day my laptop was running games beautifully. It did this when I first got it in October 2008, but kept crashing from early 2009 and never could play games like I used to play on it. Today I tested some Empire Total War.... EXCELLENT. Although the recurring fever and cough can leave, I would appreciate that.

One thing that sucked all week.... no working out.  I  haven't worked out since Monday and I probably wont work out until next week with how crappy I feel. I  can already feel my fat cells expanding.

Also today I watched ethicalcannibal drawing for finnegwyn's character in Shadowrun. It makes me just want to pick up an iPad just so I can do that sort of thing.

Other than that, things are picking back up. I postponed going to my parents tomorrow. The last thing I want to do is give my parents this sickness. Maybe we will see them on Saturday, if not we will visit next week. I do think this will be cleared by Sunday's game though, so that part I have some hope.

Oh, and I think I am going to start doing an occaisional one shot game intermixed with Shadowrun. Along the lines of my Halloween games. I really have been wanting to run some horror/strange one shot games. I think when I do run one, I will give everyone some warning, that way if they aren't interested they don't have to play. I would then make the characters (probably more realistic in points and setup, not the huge PC's we sometimes do for games) and all the players have to do is show up and play (I will probably bake as well, both "dead" cupcakes/cake and "survivor" cupcake/cakes). I suspect my first one shot game will be set in Burning Twilight as a Dead Space/Event Horizon sort of set up.

Oh well, now the coughing has started again so I will wrap this up, nite.

That sucks. I hope both you and your wife have a better, RELAXING weekend together.

Ugh, sorry about the sickness, amigo. Hang in there. Eat lots of vegetables and fruits. :)

I'm really glad the wife did what she did. Kudos to you for being supportive. You guys are great for each other. True partnership.

Have you ever heard of an old Palladium game called Beyond the Supernatural? I think. I'll see if i can find a picture of the book.



:)

I had it as a kid and always wanted to play it. I think it was a "sister" game with TMNT and Other Strangeness and also some... uh... martial arts RPG. But of course all those Palladium games were pretty interchangeable.

Yup, that was most definitely a Week of Suck.

Fortunately, you've gotten your quota of Suck Week's done early in the year so it's all good from now on! :)
