WTF, my brain? Just WTF?

Wednesday the 19th, I had lunch with Dad because he wasn't working that day and turned up to be social.  Otherwise just pottered at home.

Thursday the 20th, I had lunch with Oli before some medical errands.  Picking up repeats.  Getting bloodtests to see how my thyroid is doing.  And then getting my flu jab.  So productive.

Flu jab didn't hurt and I cockily was like "that was fine" until trying to sleep that night when my arm was hot, swollen and sore enough to disturb sleep.  It stayed hot for several days.

On Friday I was having a recovery day, but had to wash and dress in the evening for dinner out at Speights with my dad and my sister.

I spent that weekend a bit off my game, failing to play computer games or to pay proper attention to things I tried to watch.  So mostly achieved a bunch of nothing.  Only thing I did all weekend was go to the supermarket on Sunday afternoon.

And now I am only a week behind....

Ummm.  The vagueness as my brain is failing to detail.  I should go get breakfast and see if that helps.


So, last Monday I washed and dressed for roleplaying in the evening.  D&D was fun enough, and I missioned to The Warehouse with Carla afterwards.

Tuesday I only left the house to get cheap Asian dinner from Chopsticks 101 with dad and my sister.  Otherwise had spent the day failing to prepare my Pathfinder game.

Wednesday I had to catch a bus as I was late for brain-poking and had decided to take my roleplaying stuff to town so as to not have to rush back and forward.  The GMing bag is heavy - so many books.  The bus driver was not wearing a mask.... and was also Ben.  The brain poking got into some stuff I had been kind of avoiding as it was a natural follow on from the worst sessions and I had needed a break from stuff that heavy.  Session seemed fine but I have been emotionally exhausted ever since.  Went to Black Dog and chatted to Lisa while I plotted out the evening game.  Then to uni, and ran a session that went surprisingly well considering we didn't really do a lot.  They had their first semi-challenging fight and I still toned it down because I was feeling mean.....  They will never learn if I can't grow a spine.

Is now mid afternoon and I have been failing to writing this while watching YouTube (a mix of Critical Role and anti-IDF stuff (Israel has one dickish military and their propaganda war is up there with China's)).


The only time I have left the house since then was to get Nando's dinner with Firmin on Friday evening.  Otherwise it has been almost five days of sitting at home keeping warm and being too fuzzy brained to achieve much.  I think I may have a cold as I have needed my heater and been even fuzzier brained than usual.
