Battered, But Hopeful...
4 years ago
Morale took a hit the last few days as a couple of deaths in the family and circle of friends happened over the weekend...my grandmother passed away suddenly on December 26th way back in 1998...20 minutes before we were going to take her back to her home, she just...stopped. A friend's spouse lost a family member to Covid-19, which was discouraging, hoping that the vaccines get rolled out in time to not have to suffer through more blows like that.
Friend dropped off some baked goods on Saturday, so that was a plus.
Disability Payment has not happened yet...going to have to argue over the fact that my home nursing care was needed as the wound I'm dealing with I cannot physically reach without a great risk of injuring myself again. I was able to jockey my funds about so I've got money to pay rent and bills, and will be back working either next week or the week after: the wound keeping me out is so close to being patched up; the finish line is there.
Working on a couple of projects:
One is a one shot/short adventure for Pathfinder: players are going to the Social Justice Tieflings out to rid their city of someone who was formerly one of their own; who after altering themselves has spearheaded a persecution pogrom on his former race. The group is prepared to track this slime down and dose out some major social justice...so I'll see how much GM rust I've accumulated during my absence from the GameMastery Chair.
I've got a couple of chapters done of Ssreth: A Python's Journey, and got the next couple of chapters outlined; so it's coming along nicely. Need to keep telling myself that shorter pieces are okay; just write it out naturally. Really enjoyed discovering the characters and how they're developing. Getting some very endearing mental images of this snake-turned-humanoid and how good-hearted they are. It's pretty amazing and a little sad when the anthros I've portrayed/told stories about are more human than a lot of the humans out there.
Tomorrow I'll likely be stuck in the apartment, so I'll put on some music and see if I can do some more Ssreth writing and Social Justice Tiefling Prep. Maybe circulate and leave some encouragement where I can.
Trying to get into the practice of actually having a semi-regular journal...make this place not as dead as I let it be before.
Stay Good, Be Awesome, and Be Safe.

"Are snakes even Kosher?!?"
"I am!"

Anyway, good luck with the GM prep, and I'm glad to hear Ssreth's story is still going!
The GM Prep is going well...players are getting excited, as am I. Got the villain and his cronies all outlined up and plenty of various red herrings for the players to chase as well.
Ssreth's story has been taking a lot of shape and the character personalities are beginning to shine; just need to make sure I wrangle the stories into a decent order and share the progression.

"What wall?"
