Please note, my gender is now mage.

@millerjenniem ughhhh, I really hope I don't have the lingering sensitivity. We got me on an anti-viral within three days of the rash showing up, so that raises my odds of dodging that side effect, fingers crossed!

[M. E. Gibbs @LunarFlight]

So hey.

Shingles. The disease.

Pretty much the worst, do not recommend.

Vaccinate yo self.

When writing early drafts and you hit a detail you haven't decided on, just type out [REDACTED] as a placeholder.

Easy to search for later AND it makes it look like you're writing some sort of super secret conspiracy shit instead of gay romance again.

My hair is getting long enough that it's fighting with me putting my glasses on my head, which I'm doing more often due to the fact that my regular glasses got busted so I'm using my backup set AND IF I HAVE TO GET ONE OF THOSE OLD LADY GLASSES NECKLACES I SWEAR

I eternally want to spell atheist as aetheist and I have to remind myself NO an aetheist would be someone who worships steampunk.

[M. E. Gibbs @LunarFlight]

EXCEPT THAT I DO. I AM A MEDICAL MYSTERY.

Or my spleen is.

Maybe I'll stop being slightly freaked out by this if I assume they're talking about my spleen and not me.

I mean, fucker's big enough, of course dat spleen's got the ego to match.

Fucking spleen.

[M. E. Gibbs @LunarFlight]

Good news, it's still not cancer! Newest doc is like "yeah, I think we can rule out pretty much any kind of cancer?" which is AWESOME but also we don't know what the fuck I do have.

Also, my doctor talks about me to his colleagues and it's WEIRD. Being a medical mystery is WEIRD

[M. E. Gibbs @LunarFlight]

Some of that is because I'm seeing a doc at a research hospital now. But it's so fucking weird to hear him go "so I was talking about your case with all these other doctors I know and--"

Like, come on dude. We all know I don't exist when you're not talking to me.

[M. E. Gibbs @LunarFlight]

@Kristathan86 I mean I'm happy to provide the positivity and crap but mostly just glad you're here to eat the peppers so I don't have to.

[M. E. Gibbs @LunarFlight]

Staaaarting out the new year with ANOTHER WORM HOLE OF DIAGNOSTICS! HO BOY.

Good News: It's maybe not cancer??
Bad News: DIAGNOSITC WORMHOOOOOOLE!!!!

[M. E. Gibbs @LunarFlight]

Closing out 2021 with my Dragon Predictions:
Skadi for the murdering of mine enemies, Nehebkau as a primodrial snake deity, Hades AND Persephone for a nod to the nearly dying, and Dionysus says go eat more boozy rice crispy treats.

2021 was a hell of a year.

[M. E. Gibbs @LunarFlight]

The child's first proper xmas due to covid, it's my family's big xmas eve gathering. So of course she is TWO and has decided NAPS ARE FOR FOOLS and I can't even.

[M. E. Gibbs @LunarFlight]

there's no need to be jealous of other's success, because the reality is that most of us just want one major breakout success off of which to make enough money to live in sweet comfort for the rest of our lives as we hang out on the internet and write fanfic

[M. E. Gibbs @LunarFlight]

Witches, as everyone assumes: I have lit the sage, cleared my mind, and consulted the cards under the full moon to gain this augury.

Me: I poked my dragons on a virtual petsite and the random number generator on those sites implies that maybe these gods kinda like me this year?

[M. E. Gibbs @LunarFlight]

SO YEAH GUESS WHAT MY ZODIAC IS NOW SPARKLE CRAB COME AT ME BRO

[M. E. Gibbs @LunarFlight]

I've often struggled with representations of my zodiac sign, as Cancer is usually depicted as either just random crab claws or someone who looks like they could shatter... with random crab claws.

Then I realized the kind of crab I want representing my zodiac: Tamatoa

[M. E. Gibbs @LunarFlight]

So in other good news, my mythril pills are WORKING! My blood count is actually NOT ANEMIC, like for real, MY NUMBERS ARE SO GOOD.

Now I have to remember what people do when they aren't so tired that all they can do is play phone games all day...

[M. E. Gibbs @LunarFlight]

REMEMBER: Choosing gifts for people is a MASSIVE executive function sink.

If all you did was online shop for your friends and family today... You still did something big and mentally taxing and that's why it's hard to decide what to eat for dinner.
