That was a rough post to make.
OK, you guys who are in the guild and read the blog, don't let the cat out too early. Please let it ride...OK?
I really am bored as hell, but WoW is about the only damn thing keeping me conscious most days. No I'm not gonna quit!
So long, and thanks for all the fish!
Yes, it's true that my health hasn't been doing so hot lately, but it's really shown me one thing: I'm tired of this damn game. It's really just not worth it any longer.
With all the time off I've had, I've just grown bored with it all. The leveling. The constant crafting I've done since day one. Hell, I even tried to take up fishing this week! That's a sure sign of insanity! I'm bored. I can't find anything fun to do, and leveling an alt just turns my stomach. I've never been good at it.
Most of you probably have seen that I was playing on a myriad number of my toons over the last week. While I've been bouncing around, I've slowly been liquidating their assets. Gimpy has sold off all his herbs, Misc all her stockpiles of leather, and Herbena whatever crap she held. I'm done.
Consequently, as a part of this move to a new webhost, I will introduce you all to your new guild leader: Jiaxu. You all have been praising him for the amount of work he's been putting into the site, and now you all know why. I've made him my successor.
By the time you all read this, I'll have logged on in the wee hours of the morning, transferred the guild's leadership over to him, and typed D-E-L-E-T-E on Darias. Really it's for the best, for both you and me. Couldn't go on forever, right?
So, take care guys. I wish you all the best. Look me up on Facebook when you can.
- Darias

So, all the funny, ha-ha's aside...I'm still awake. Tried to go to bed shortly after the above, but before I even got out of the chair, my stomach -- and back, joy! -- felt like they'd gone 10 rounds in a heavyweight match. The achy-twitchy pain traded back and forth with large-area dull pain...in rapid succession.
I walk upstairs, get undressed, and whether it's the process of ever-so-gingerly rolling into bed, or just the effort of pulling off my slipper socks, blammo pain. Fuck. Calm down already. Just relax. It'll fade a bit. I try first laying on my left as I typically do to fall asleep. Arm around Wifey, spoon up, snuggle, then roll over. Pain. Nope. Gotta flip now.
I lay on my back, and then the mind wanders and I start to wake myself up. I don't want to wake up. I want to sleep. Never mind that I slept for 13 hours last night. Never mind the fact that with the exception of two separate two hour blocks, I woke up on the half hour every single hour of that night. It. Wasn't. Rest. I'm tired as hell right now. I want to sleep, but my body won't let me.
I just now looked over the copy of all my medical documentation. The surgical specialist's nurse gave us a copy of it. It's got all the CTs, the ultrasounds, x-rays, the bone scan, bloodwork, and the whole shibang of what's been done to me in the last two months. You know what it tells me: everything that isn't wrong with me, and nothing that is.
- kidney stones -- yeah, they're there, but it's not going to cause all this
- four in the left kidney, one in the right
- nothing is obstructing anything, so no worries...right?
- gall bladder
- no gall stones
- no earmarks that the gall bladder isn't producing properly
- if it were, fatty foods would damn near kill me...corned beef and cabbage was FINE last week.
- liver -- fine both in ultrasound and bloodwork
- pancreas -- fine (didn't know they'd even looked at that)
- bone scan -- fine
- blood work in general -- fine, and where "not fine" I'm so close to just outside the normal range, it's irrelevant.
I'm just tired of every doctor saying, "It's not me...have you tried the guy down the street?" In the meantime, I'm missing work, I'm missing doing stuff with my family, I'm missing going to church, I'm missing having a life. There is absolutely nothing going on right now but WoW, watching TV, sleeping, eating, and going to the bathroom. Beyond that, I'm just stoned on the pain med du jour.
I just want someone to say what the hell is wrong with me!

And another thing. A year ago today, I found a friend of mine had vanished. I didn't know what happened to him, and doors got slammed in my face as soon as I asked. It started a roller coaster that still hasn't ended.
Zejan is my friend and my brother. I still believe he is innocent despite his current location and what others have thought of him. I will stand by him until quite honestly he tells me otherwise, no matter what condescending judge thinks of him, or his friends.
For that alone, I have now changed the link in my sidebar to a very personal site. These are the blog entries that Zejan has written throughout his time in jail, and now in prison. Some of them -- whether you love him, hate him, or don't know him -- are damn hard to read. The friends that are standing behind him have put that site up to keep the word going about him. I am doing my part to help however I can to do the same.
I love ya man. We'll figure a way to get you back home.

Played until 11 last night and...I can't even make the blog post.
Time for work.

I cry wolf entirely too well. I posted out to the guild website:
- Subject: AFK for a few...
- Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that things have fallen apart here IRL. I'm gonna have to take a break for a couple weeks.
- I have every confidence in Calli, Yeshe, Aff, Jett, and the Emissaries to keep things under control. I'll let you know when I'll have everything back together.
I think I took the joke too far. People read it for gospel. I guess people don't have my sick April Fool's sense of humor. I was even pretty tame this year I thought.
*sigh*

Everything OK? Getting spammed with IMs?

/sigh for lonely days. My two normal occupations of my IM time are both AFK today. I find myself milling about and I'm about out of my usual haunts.
Add to the fact that the guild site is slow, Blizzard is doing something distinctly weird with the forums that make them unreadable, and I still don't have a lot of work going on and I'm bored, bored, bored.

Yay for a fun morning. Up until 3am playing WoW, woken by wife at 4:15 for a trip to the E.R.
Going to sleep now. More later.

I am forlorn.
