Coffee Shop Forever, It's time to kick bottom and drink coffee! Options

It is funny because I know of some Australians now living in the US who say the same things about the wildlife here. America has bears and mountain lions. What are a few foot long spiders compared to that?

I think its one of those cases where what you are used to does not scare you. In your experience, that is just normal.

As the Australian Ministry of Foreign Affairs folks used to brief my Marines before we did training in Australia, "The good news is that the salt water crocodiles and great white sharks aren't poisonous."

That's the spirit; gotta stay positive!

Welp, I'm having a bit of struggle these days. Had to leave my job of 12 years last November due to progressive health issues, and now I'm dependent on oxygen supplementation almost 24/7. The poor air quality days experienced end of August/beginning of September has really done a number on my lungs. At least my eyes and vision are currently stable.

It is making me less motivated to do things, such as play games or write. Hopefully I can get some mojo back and find joy in these things again. Restarting my gamma globulin infusions Friday should help. I hope.

[Acadian]

Oh, Rider, so sorry to hear that! I wish you the best and sure hope you can find some joy and mojo.

[SubRosa]

I am so sorry Rider. Hopefully the new gamma infusions will help. Just so long as you do not turn into a giant green rage monster afterward...

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

So sorry that you are having so much trouble Rider. I hope that your procedure brings you some relief.

[mirocu]

Very sorry to hear that, rider


Like the others I do hope you get some relief soon and can regain interest in your hobbies. Best wishes indeed!

[Decrepit]

I join the crew in hoping for a successful recovery.

Aw Haute, I was wondering if the pollen would be bad up there; I so hope the doctor can ease this up some so you can have a more comfortable retirement. I am so very sorry you aren't feeling well!

Thank you everyone for the well wishes! It's a journey to find a new normal, and every time I think I've found it, something else happens. The next step for me is to get that chest CT scan done so my pulmonologist can figure out the next step.

A couple of months ago I reconnected with my best friend (since fourth grade, so 50 years) after we lost touch with each other about ten years ago. It was great to be able to pick up our friendship like we never lost touch, though we did have a lot of catching up to do! So now we connect every three weeks for a couple of hours, and it's been fun. That helps brighten my days, as well.

I've not been writing - this particular part of A Wood Elf in Windhelm has been super tricky for me because I've never been satisfied with how it was presented in the game. So I'm exploring its potential as I'm writing, and I may end up scrapping the entire chapter (each day is a chapter in this particular story) and starting over as I get new ideas. We'll see.

SubRosa, thanks for your kind words. Your final comment made me laugh - I won't turn green, or begin raging, but I've always been a monster so . . . In any case, I knew I could count on you to say something appropriately humorous.

Acadian, Khajiit, 'Rocu and mALX, thanks for the hugs and well wishes.

Decrepit, I think of all of us you might understand what I am going through best. I have days when I feel pretty decrepit myself!

The cough is already subsiding since the first infusion on Friday. I'm looking forward to the next one in a month - I've found it takes two infusions to make me feel noticeably better. Fingers crossed!

Again, thanks to all the hugs and well wishes from everyone.

Speaking of coffee I need more coffee pods, I'm not a happy reaper if I don't have my coffee!

Happy birdday, PopPop!

As for coffee, I've got my cold brew sitting in the fridge, it will be all ready to go in the morning. Yummy.
