I have had a sinus infection for four months that three doctors told me wasn't a sinus infection, hence the delay in dealing with it. I am now on a month-long course of antibiotics. (I am already getting sick of yogurt and I'm only about halfway through.)

I have an appointment for a CT scan on Friday to find out what the fuck is going on with my sinuses; it is also possible that this is happening because of irritation from exciting new allergies I've developed, so I might also have to see an allergist.

All of this has cost a lot of money to deal with and will cost more before it's over, and I'm on a bit of a tight budget, so that makes me pretty anxious.

I also might or might not lose my health insurance soon? It's a fucking mystery and if it happens it will probably happen at a time when I have ceased to expect it

I do have a backup insurance option but it doesn't cover behavioral health, which is mostly what I need it for in the normal run of things when my sinuses aren't being jerks

On top of this, I have a canker sore which is infected, which I didn't even know could happen, but here we are. I will spare you the gory details. I saw a doctor about it and she was basically just like "well you're already on antibiotics, I can't give you more antibiotics at the same time"

so I'm just... hoping this goes away eventually? in the meantime it is highly unpleasant

before I got every kind of OTC painkiller for canker sores that I could get my hands on, the pain was bad enough that it was waking me up at night

possibly related to this, in the past couple days my body seems to have decided that I need to sleep All The Time, which further impedes my ability to get anything done ever

and totally unrelated to all of this, I am trying to find a temporary place to live because of Landlord Shenanigans

and I am having very little luck, especially since I have a cat

and because the time frames for most sublets don't line up with when I need it

so I kind of have the looming threat of (admittedly temporary) homelessness hanging over me, which is Great

I'm also in a play, which was my choice and is something I totally enjoy, but it's time-consuming and exhausting and makes it hard to deal with all this other stuff

so, in conclusion, if you're wondering why it's been almost a week and Eva's account still has only one icon, this is why

-- oh, I forgot that my job is hell and my commute is hell and I've been looking for another job for ages with no success

which is super fun

so anyway, that's everything that's going on with me, most of which was not a thing when I signed up for the original Newlydead Game or for MGRP

so I apologize for being lousy at keeping up with RP, but my life is Kind Of A Mess

thank you for your time

I'm sorry. I knew about the sinus infection of course but yikes that is a p. big amount of things to deal with all at once. I hope the game is fun for you though, belatedly I feel a bit bad that right out of the gate was Rosa throwing all her emotional issues at Eva (which was gonna happen, of course, with those two, but you know). I hope you feel better.

bluecake: it is fun, I just feel vaguely guilty about not being around more or... you know, making more than one icon

jenseitsvonkunst: thanks

bluecake: oh, and don't worry about the IC Drama, that was an expected part of the whole thing
