Present and Unaccounted for

K, so first things first. My brothers are doing okay. It remains to be seen if either of them have learned anything and will change what they need to change but the wake-up call was delivered and received at least for the rest of us. Mathew's uncle is also well, all things considered.

See, not all bad, just need to put things in perspective.

So, back in October, 4 days before I was scheduled for decompression surgery on my brain the surgery was canceled due to "elevated white blood cell count and a nodule in the upper right chest". Yeah, a "nodule". Official medical term. To be precise an "approximately 1.5 cm nodule".

( Cut for medical stuff, biologically I am weird too! )

In other news. My graphics card sputtered its last breath the other day. Literal sputtering even, then it spiked to temps I don't even want to think about and my computer shutdown. :/

Now, because I have an awesome child, she has let me borrow her's until I get a new one. So pics are still happening. Her card is nowhere near what mine was and I am still adjusting to this whole "What do you mean I can't have 50 controllable sims on the lot?" thing, but pics are happening! Happening to the point that Chapter 4 Part 1 of Pleasantries should be up later tonight. :D

This makes me happy! I have had parts of this chapter written since January. It is also the ending of the first major plot arch and the kicking into gear of the plot proper! Parts 2 and 3 will follow shortly after but they kind of have to come as a set so I don't know quite yet when those will be out. Should be some time in the next week or so.

Right, so that is what I have been up to. A lot of waiting, but also a lot of writing.
