Update on my Life

[shenron]

So, things have been crazy for me the last couple of months. It all started with finding out my wife is pregnant with out first child, then we decided to move back to where our parents are, and dealing with the impending move and packing.

As far as the move went, nothing went right. Our original apartment fell through so we had to search frantically for a place we could afford and that it was in a safe area because everyday we were taking late charges in the u-haul truck. Then we were able to find a place but we would not be able to move in until around March 1st - which we did a walk through the other day and it needs paint so we won't be able to move in for another week or two. So, we have been living with the in laws and that has been an adventure in itself.

On top of the move, I was able to transfer with the company I was working for but took a 8 dollar an hour pay cut as well down to part time because that is all they had open. So, I have been job hunting like a mad man.

Then as far as the pregnancy goes we went in for our usual appointment last Friday and in turned into a 4 day event with trips to the doctor, the hospital, radiology, etc. Long story short is that she is now considered a high risk pregnancy and we are spending a lot more time at the doctors offices and they will probably induce her early it just depends on how early and how her pre-eclampsia progresses but they got her on medicine and gave her steroid shots, and lots of home monitoring stuff. From what we have been told the baby is healthy it is just the mom that is having issues.

Well that is what I have been up to why I have been absent. I am hoping to be back a lot more. I miss everyone here and the community.

Oh man, we'll keep you and your family in our prayers brother. There is nothing scarier than knowing your wife and child are in harm's way.

[Manah]

Agreed. Take whatever time you need and please don't lose hope. We can wait, but they need you. My thoughts go with you as well.

Job and pregnancy problems. That is a horrible combination. You'll be in my prayer. I had a niece that died shortly after she was born, and I wouldn't wish that for anyone. My family was devastated for a while after that, and I don't wish that kind of thing on anyone.

[shenron]

Thank you all for the support. It means a lot to me.

I am trying to be semi active here.

Don't worry too much, though, if things keep you from posting. I think all of us have been put through the wringer to varying degrees, I know I have, and I've learned this can be a great resource and escape if you need it, but real life always comes first. I hope everything works out!

[shenron]

Ya, it had been rough with all of the stress but I am hoping things will be settling down somewhat soon.

I think what makes everything worse is that I have the gaming itch bad. Before I moved I was in a Pathfinder campaign and a V:tR LARP that was every week. I am suffering from withdraws.

Larpers Anonymous. Is that a thing? it should be a thing

[Manah]

Definitely. And RPGers Anonymous too. Several of my friends have confirmed suffering from it.

Hang in there, Shenron! I know how hard it can be to find the right balance between spending time on the crucial stuff, and still finding time to relax and do hobby stuff like playing here.

Keep on going strong, man. Life can put great weights on our shoulders but we must play the hands we're dealt as best as we can.

[shenron]

Thank you all for the support. It means a lot.

So, today my wife for admitted to the hospital for per-eclampsia pregnancy issues and will remain in the hospital until next week when they plan to induce here at 34 weeks. That is the current plan of the Doctor's so I will be bouncing between the hospital, work, home, and all of the craziness.

On the flip side, I had an interview today and I think I got the job. We will see.
