Troper Updates II, Part II

Go To

In which we get updates from the lives of tropers. Kinda like Twitter with more than 140 characters, but less than a blog or LJ.

Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.

The shoes I ordered technically arrived today? Unfortunately the post office was so backed up that they hadn't even sorted my package in yet. Not their fault; changing hands and being down a staff member probably didn't do them any good either. Sooo I'll just have to hope it's there tomorrow.

[up] Funny you mention that, I've had problems with Amazon fucking my packages up. It's a total crapshoot as to if something will arrive. One item said it was lost in transit and said item came later that day. IDK.

Last month I ordered batteries and fan pulls and Amazon said they'd arrive later in the week. And then they said "oops, it might be a day or two later than that, but they're coming!" And then it was a day or two later and they said "uh, we don't know when it will arrive, but you're still going to get it!"

I cancelled the order and reordered it, and they arrived in two days. USPS still shows a package bouncing between two cities that are not the origin or the destination.

It's Monday. Also Daylight Savings has me kind of out of sorts. I'm sure I'll adjust eventually but for now, meal and rest times feel off.

I might see if I can finally add to my fanfic WIP. So much for my plan to "write every day in November as an informal NaNoWriMo (I have only written one day this month.

Well at least one good thing happened today. A while ago, I sent a letter to Audible, asking how I can potentially turn my books into audiobooks. Earlier today, a lady who works there emailed me back with instructions about how I can do it. :)

Got my hair cut a couple days ago and I'm still getting used to having short hair. I've had it long for ages but I decided it was time to switch things up for the warmer months and it looks so goddamn cute.

So, uh...

Without going into details, I got floored by some unexpected potentially good news today. News that may mean a pretty major change in the near future. An opportunity that, fuck yes, I'm taking!

We'll see what happens.

I got an MRI a couple of days ago and it seems the largest of my brain tumors has shrunk by 80 percent, and the others have shrunk to the point of not being picked up, and it's still working on them. I'll be getting a whole-body one next month to see of the rest of the tumors inside me are still inactive/shrunk, so that'll be fun.

I still have occasional headaches, my legs swelled up because of the new med, and my hands feel a little funny sometimes and twitch on occasion, but if it means not getting my brains fried, I'll take it.

I also still feel a bit odd mentally, I don't know if I'd call it diminished, maybe rubbed raw? I guess my brain is still adjusting to not being under pressure.

I used to wonder/fear how having one's brain change would feel, and I confess if this was happening to someone else I'd probably be poorly hiding my intense curiosity.

Anyway, thanks for putting up with my posts.

I'm very happy for you, but I'm also sad for you. Ultimately I'm just glad you're getting better!

[up][up]I don't think there's any need to worry about people reading your posts considering themselves as having to put up with them. I get the impression that everyone's fine with it (including myself), especially knowing things have been improving for you, even if it's taking a while.

I'm sick again (what a surprise), so I'll probably be less active with mod work. I'm not taking a break from the site (which is why I didn't post this in Absent People); I'll still be on Yack Fest and the wiki doing more casual stuff, but there will probably be times when TRS will probably have to be handled the other mods for a while.
