SAD
Seasonal Affective Disorder. I've been fighting my Fall Blues for about a month now -- ever since the first Back to School ads hit the screens in late July.
Per the list of symptoms, I've just been wanting to sleep and am very low energy.
Once the first white puff ball mushrooms sprouted on the lawn and the vibe started to shift into Autumn, I have been wanting to just curl up somewhere by myself.
Part of me still wants to go out and play but I'm exhausted within minutes: both physically and emotionally. All I can do is keep pushing my envelope but closer to home.
Reaching Out and Keeping in Touch
I plan to use the VR Portal and peek in at Megaplex in a bit.
I tried a PvP Game one of my local furs runs on Thursday in VRChat, but I died within seconds. I'm much more comfortable in voice chat with my long time fur frens where I can sit back and listen to their banter and only chime in on occasion. I have the honorific role of "Grampa Dog" in their Discord -- a badge of honor I am ever so proud of.
Doing what I can
My right fit at the moment is just little moments. I just said hello to one of the Twitch Streamers I've subscribed to for almost 4 years. I don't get to watch as much I did, but his was a comforting voice when I needed it most. I have MegaPlex Twitch in the background, they're having the fursuit dance offs right now; it's so much easier watching it from the comfort of my own office chair.
If I would have pushed myself to physically travel to Orlando, I probably would not have braved the crowds nor had the desire to be in the audience.
I even passed on a picnic up North; a seventy mile drive and a day of being outdoors in the pollen -- hard pass.
So, in lieu of travel monies, I continue to support the Twitch Streamers I favor at home, the artists I like on Patreon, and now I've resubscribed to FA+ It's a way to say thank you for providing a platform for my fur art and rants and a small way to help it keep going.
Best way I can play at the current moment.

FA+


I just woke up from a very hard nap. If I hadn't had my wife's scooter, I would never had made it.

I think a motorized scooter division of older furs (we need a new moniker, Venerable?)
We have the cash, we have the technology.
