As some of you know, I tried getting back into writing and such and started re-working on a Character for here. And as some of you may have noticed, I have been pretty inconsistent with activity lately. I figured I owe you guys somewhat of an explanation, as most of you I consider friends and others friendly acquaintances. Naturally, with it being autumn and soon to be winter, there are a lot of viruses and such going around. Because I have absolutely no immune system as is, and my treatments suppress it even further, I'm extremely susceptible to everything and anything. To give you an idea of what I mean, I have to get frequent tests for TB, also know as Tuberculosis or Red Death. Yes, my immune system is that awful. Lol. Getting to the point, I have been getting sick with just about every virus going around, one after the other. Needless to say, I haven't felt up to doing much of anything lately. But I am taking lots of antibiotics and over the counter stuff to help keep from getting anymore sick, and I am hoping to get back on track with writing and graphics alike. In the meantime, be patient with me. I may get irritable and say stupid or inconsiderate stuff, or I might forget to do something - my head is so stuffy I can't think straight half the time. Lol. So that's it. I may pop in chat or log into Skype here and there, but right now I'm just trying to get through college classes while also trying to get better. I really do miss you guys, and miss RPing here. So don't count me out just yet. <3

Thanks guys! Don't worry Kite, I've been drinking lots of water and making sure to get plenty of rest. I've also been keeping myself distracted with stuff, mainly video games because I find they don't take much concentration and keep me from getting anxious over stuff I haven't yet gotten to complete. Today marked the first snow where I live, so I'm both excited and wary of winter - excited because I love snow and Game of Thrones starts up this following spring, wary because I'm not too fond of the cold. Lol. I'll be seeing you guys around in the meantime, as I'm still trying to put together some ideas for my character's new history. I have so many different ideas, it's difficult to decide. Haha. Anyways, love you guys! <3 ^-^;

Thanks. Will do. ;D

Soooo... After finally getting over everything one after the other with the help of anti-biotics, I managed to get C. Diff. For those of you that don't know what it is, it's basically bad bacteria that lies in the lining of your stomach and intestines, and since anti-biotics kill both good and bad bacteria, all my good bacteria was killed and C. Diff took over. Generally, all the symptoms mimic colitis. And since Crohn's is a form of colitis, I have Crohn's times two. Not gonna lie, this week has been one from hell and there were a few times I thought I was dying, but I'm finally starting to recover. This is the first time I have touched my computer in a week, and with that said, I have not left my house in over a week, as I've had symptoms for weeks before my actual diagnosis. I'm trapped here for at least a few more days in order to fully recover, but I already have cabin fever and desperately want to grab a few more gifts to give for Christmas.

P.S. - As I couldn't do a whole lot while sick, I had a lot of time to think. This has inspired me a bit, so maybe I'll actually finally finish some of my writing and/or artwork. Hooray!? xD

You sure don't do things by half do you.
So here is the same advice I give the patients at the clinic "Stop it! Stop getting sick!"
If it works let me know so I can patent it and making a killing. Otherwise I disavow ever having written this statement.

Get well and we'll still be hear. At least in body...

Lol. I'll try my best! I would love to stop getting sick! xD

Update: I just returned from being hospitalized for the past week. Long story short, I'm not doing better. So I honestly don't know when I'll be back. And as most of you know, the holidays are already here. Needless to say, my life is chaos right now...

Finally starting to feel better. I never thought I could be so happy just knowing I can eat real food again. ._.;

P.S. - I just ate a Whopper. It was delicious.

A whopping welcome back party is in order!

I see what you did there... Hehe. Thank you. I'm just happy to be home - hospitals don't have the best... hospitality. When I was in pediatrics, hospitals weren't that bad. But now that I'm an adult and I get thrown in with everyone from sore throats to missing limbs, I find that doctors working in the general area of the hospital have lost patience or are very grumpy. Needless to say, it was not a nice experience, and a lot of mistakes were made on their part, and it is I who suffers the consequences. But hopefully with a bunch of medicine and plenty of rest, I can make a full recovery before the new year. And I must say, I'm really looking forward to a new year, as this one was probably the worst year of my life - I figure it can't get any worse, so I welcome the new year with optimism. We'll see how long it lasts. Lol. ^-^;
