past trauma, anniversary
You ask me if I am okay; I am not. Not until the anniversaries are done. Not as long as this part of the cycle is here.
"Okay" is for other months, other weeks, other seasons. Autumn is too much about the fall for me. There were good things and they ended; October is the burial month.
past trauma, anniversary
October falls like a hammer. I used to like this month, with its crisp air and beautiful trees. But then...
The 2nd is the date I discovered I had been betrayed by the one I trusted most.
The 13th is the anniversary of my brother-in-law's death.
The 15th is the anniversary of the death of a friend I had since high school.
There is nothing in October for me until it ends. The day we can take off our masks is the only good part. And that's the end of it.

Tomorrow is October Second. Three years ago, that was the day I found out That Monster had betrayed my trust. The anniversary of my shattering. The day that broke me.
I'm not feeling too good about it. I'm definitely feeling less estate today; I desperately wish I could take a personal day from work, but no.
Just gotta make it through. Keep moving, don't think about it, survive. Eventually I will heal.

the old teenage bicycle
Brought my old bicycle into the shop, after years of neglect (most of them being not having enough money to get it fixed up). It's repairable, but... it's small and I'm bigger and we don't really match each other anymore. Repairable, but the guy at the shop recommended I donate it to a nonproft bike shop and let them fix it up for someone who needs it.
Surprisingly emotional about it, given that I've barely touched the bike in years.
She was a really good bike, though.
re LB: Not just a board stall- because of the treasure that's a 14/14 Pirate! And on my side a 10/10 dino, plus several 5/5s and a 7/7. At the end I was generating 3 +1/+1 tokens a turn, @Soreth was making 2-3 treasure.
It ended when Soreth stole my only flyer, so I had to attack or lose. 8 damage got through, wasn't enough. I was a few cards away from drawing something that would have let me steal the big pirate.
Help a friend of a friend!!
Harper is a retransitioning trans person on the autism spectrum who lost her R.V over a year ago when her (now ex) abusive husband left her. She's battling PTSD, depression & anxiety, chronic fatigue and has celiac disease.
She's currently living in a cold garage w her dog, barely enough money for food. She also needs access to safe HRT.
Help out if you can, I've known her friend Max for years and he's one of the kindest people out there!
nerf report
Successfully took on three people in one round today, and got them all out without taking a hit myself. Feeling great about that, I haven't lost the ability to dodge darts.
Gave a whoop at the end of "You can't hit me if I can see them coming!", which is maybe a little too boastful, but damned if it doesn't feel like that sometimes.
