#touching base

After an estimated six weeks on crutches...and possibly PT depending on an Ortho's recommendation, I still have to follow up with that...I will (or at least should) walk under my own power with the ankle braces, the cane, and the just hench knee brace with the hinges. That's okay. It's not like I didn't see it coming. Age, arthritis, and old injuries have been catching up to me for some time. I knew just one more serious fall and I'd be in trouble. Well...I had it. Just a patch of ice. Very undramatic to do so much damage. Don't get old kids.

Mutuals are reeling. This is the longest non-political post I've made in ages. I don't talk about myself. Doubly so my people.

We're okay. Or we will be, I promise. I hope you are to. I know things have been tough for a lot of people. If you're lucky you also have amazing friends to help you through it. If you're really lucky, you are the friend.

I'm still brainstorming ideas on how to answer. Once I take my exam on Thursday, you'll see at my full obsessive capacity cause I like when you ask me about HCs and ideas!

Right now the brain is busy memorizing drug cards for antibiotics and respiratory related medications (and also bouncing between Reverse 1999 ideas because I live in my head)

Closed starter for @robot-airforce​

Today was going to be a long one, for sure.

It was no surprise that the Nuvola Sky Carrier reached out to Maverick Hunter HQ about a recent Maverick attack to their ship. It came instead, when the commander informed them of just who launched the attack, and whom they wanted to speak with in turn.

Axl and Aria were summoned to discuss this attack with Wing Commander Avianna, Commander Signas ensuring he would be close by to observe. The hunter and navigator were both a little anxious to be meeting with the Wing Commander, but Axl was much better at hiding it.

It was one thing to summon an S-Rank hunter to brief on these things, Aria mused, but why did she need to be there as well? She ran through all the scenarios that could explain this, and and she didn’t like any of them. She had a bad feeling about this meeting, and who they’d be discussing.

As the door chimed Tru looked up to see which patron was entering, especially as she didn’t have anyone on her list.  Her face lit up when she saw who stepped through the threshold though.  “Is this pleasure or business?” she smiled and always eager to welcome the dominant to her place of work.

As we are coming to the close of the first week of 007 fest, I thought it would be nice to touch base and see where everyone is at.

I’ve seen some people keeping track of their points in the supplied doc and I’ve gotta say “WOW!” you are all freakin’ amazing and I am confident that we can kick those boffins out of the water.

We are by far the superior team seeing as how we are part of the double-oh programme.

Now, I wanted to touch base and see if anyone was feeling like they needed a bit more help with anything. Maybe someone needs a cheerleader to boost them along? Or maybe someone needs a beta to edit something? Whatever you need, as one of your co-captains, I’m here to help! (I’m sure @amottledrose can agree with that!)

So please, if you need anything, get in touch with me. You can find me on here or on the 00Q slack. My username is the same everywhere.

Well, well, well. It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? I genuinely can’t even remember the last time I was on here actively doing anything. I rarely check my tags or messages, and tbh, it looks like a few of you have jumped ship.  I don’t really hold it against you. I’ve cleaned out who I follow many-a times. It makes no sense to keep some people around if they don’t interest you anymore.

However, if you are still with me, thank you! It’s been quite a busy time for me. Time not spent with family is consumed with school. I spend hours upon hour studying and preparing myself for what I have coming up. I can’t remember the last time I stood up all night for anything other than revising school work. It’s no fun, but you gotta do what you gotta do. 

As for my home life,  it could be better. On Wednesday, the 15th, my mom was admitted to the hospital in Denver with complications to her illness that were initially unknown, but clearly severe. It was touch and go for a few days, but as time went on, it came to light that she was once again bleeding in her lungs. This is not a new condition for her, however, if not treated swiftly and with full force, she can--in short--drown in her own blood. Along with the bleeding, it was found that she was suffering from both strep throat and parainfluenza. Needless to say I’m going out of my mind because she’s two towns over, stuck in bed coughing up blood, and my older sister is basically refusing to take me to see her. 

It’s a stressful situation, but I’m holding on with the help of my sweet angel @winchestersnco. If you’re the religious type, please keep us in your prayers. We hope that she makes a speedy recovery and can come home soon. I miss her dearly and even if my sister does agree to take me to visit, it’s not really financially feasible to make trips from my hometown up to Denver. Gas, food, and all that are expensive and we really just don’t have the money for it. (As a side note: If you were feeling generous I do have a kofi link located here. it was made for situations just like this. Anything would help, but by no means do I expect it! Emotional support is just as pivotal as anything else and you guys do provide me with that.)

On a brighter, less intense note: I am on spring break and I think to keep my mind off of my mom’s health and my helplessness, I’m gonna work on some drabbles. Anything to keep myself occupied now that I don’t have school work to distract me. 

So that’s really all I have going on right now. I hope to be more active on here, because it would be a shame to see all you lovely people fade out of my life. I do enjoy speaking with so many of you and writing is a good way for me to express myself in the grand scheme of things. Thank you again for sticking around and taking this journey with me. I really appreciate it all!

Hopefully, you’ll see more of me.
