Recent AFK

[Bayhound]

I know recently I've been here and then I'll be gone for seemingly no reason. I don't do this on purpose and try to prevent it as much as possible, but sometimes life is life. Can't choose what does and doesn't happen.

Anywho, my net had been jittery a few days ago because of the weather, and then granny fell and broke her shoulder and hip in two different places on Sunday. It was bound to happen - she'd fallen every day since the Sunday before last and luckily managed to walk away with minor injuries. She had a MRI, surgery yesterday, and generally hasn't been feeling all that great since she's been in the hospital. Also, my work schedule this week has been and will continue to be wonky because I'm working around a fellow coworker's schedule to even things out, so that's where I've been these past few days.

Just wanted to clear that up and apologize to those I'm in a thread with for late replies and such. Bay will be back to her regular schedule soon, hopefully.

I... really should update this to prolonged AFK, as much as I don't want to. Of course, just as I switch my car into my name, get all of my insurance fixed, and adjust a lot of financial stuff I'd been meaning to do... I hit a deer. It was awful, and will continue to be. Can you say insurance spike? u__u

Exactly one week after getting a new policy and everything, I hit a freakin' deer. Still in my first year of driving, too. 'Road hazard' or not, yes, my insurance will cover the cost of the damage done to my car (at least I'm hoping it will, my mind is focusing on the negative at this current moment in time), but dear god the money involved. At least everyone was okay in my car and I didn't attempt to miss the huge massive freaking doe and hit the dually truck that just so happened to be in the lane beside me, IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. I can thank whatever divine forces that are out there for the situation not being worse than it is.

Granted, where I live, this happens to everyone and it's a wonder I hadn't hit one before now, but regardless. There's just a lot of emotional and mental stress for me going along with this, and there's a good chance that I won't have a car for two weeks, and although that sounds like it'll give me more internet time, I'm not really sure if it will or not. I'll most likely be running back and forth to different places depending on how I can get a ride to where I have to be throughout the week, so just giving you guys a heads up as to why I'll continue to have spotty activity. I'm honestly sorry again to those I have threads with - I will get out replies as soon as I am able, I promise.
