Looks like it’s time for my monthly check in! I still haven’t been completely cleared by my team of doctors to resume normal activity, but I’m feeling hopeful about my appointments next week. Mostly, I just want the damn PICC line out of my arm and to stop the IV antibiotics, because that’s all annoying and the meds make me tired. As the title of this post indicates, I haven’t *quite* resumed writing yet. But! Though I didn’t know if my brain was up to writing, I figured I might as well give editing a try, thinking that would be a little less mentally taxing. I’ve been going back through the old files to see if anything is worth rescuing and resubmitting. I don’t know if anything will pan out from this, but at least I’m doing something.
Other things I have been doing:
I finally finished the scarf/shawl/wrap thingy I mentioned in my last post. It needs a light blocking, but I took pictures anyway. The pattern is supposed to resemble dragon scales, and we all know how much I love dragons.
I also played a new video game; while nothing I’ve read recently comes with a strong recommendation, I can wholeheartedly recommend Life is Strange. Even if you’re just a casual gamer, the story and characters are fantastic. I don’t think I’ve been as emotionally affected by a game since Mass Effect 3. Plus, due to the structure of the game, there’s plenty of replay value. The main game has a prequel with the same characters, which I played and liked well enough, though it didn’t have quite the same charm as the original, and then a sequel with a whole new cast and setting, which I haven’t started yet. If you’re looking to participate in an interactive story, definitely check it out!
