Gunshots inside a city. Potshots. Hundred yards. Nothing serious. Does not compute.

The easement is a couple hundred yards from my house. It is a marshy grassland flanked by businesses and a RR track to the South, and houses to the North, with all kinds of utility towers (power lines, telephone, etc.) running up its center. It is wider than most football fields (pick your version) and a few miles long. It has a number of bird, rodent, and reptile species in it, as well as beavers and a pack of coyotes. If they stood on the sidewalk and fired along its length, there would be almost no chance of amy humans being in their LOS (at night) within the range of most man-portable firearms. So nothing serious, IF...
 



A man was walking down a road of evergreen picture postcard landscapes. Suddenly a monster ambushed him, like a locomotive jumping towards you from behind a tree would. A chill ran down the mans spine, the way you'd run through mounds of leaves in the autumn, wild and laughing. He was scared and the fear had a mind of its own. The fear also had a small attention span and it had already grown bored. The boredom grew and grew ever so larger until finally it became so heavy that the floor gave way and it fell down into the basement. And thus the fear decided to go home as it had work the next day and would need to wake up early. The man, now with not a scare in the world, charged the monster head on and ended up needlessly throwing his life away. Luckily a passing catcher caught the flying life as it sailed past him in a handsome galleon. The monster, confused by all this, turned on its tail and yelped, having stepped on its tail. Poor monster, not even a penny in its pockets. The man had no mercy and so he had to leave to go buy some.

So, Saturday my gut area is hurting more and more. Walked the mile and a half to the VA emergency room at 9:30 Pm. They admidded me at 2 am Sunday. Just got out yesterday. An abscess had formed and was trying to pop out of my belly skin. Also had about a gallon of fluid built up within my abdomen where they had done the ab muscle wall rebuild. lost a total of 13 lbs during this stay. Hospital food is atrocious, what can I say. doing well now.

The pain felt like I had eaten a full turkey with stuffing.
 



So I finally got a job. It starts in a week. Unemployment money not enough. So far behind on bills. :( Internet got shut off. Energy bill kept threatening to turn off my energy. Hate to think of where my credit card bills are at now. I couldn't afford to pay them so they've sat ignored for a while.

But I've started this consulting thing on the side, hopefully it'll bring in a few bucks. Also borrowing money to get my book published. Hopefully that'll bring in a few bucks. Friend and I are working on a board game. Hopefully that'll bring in a few bucks. We're also working on an Adventure Path for Pathfinder. Hopefully that'll bring in a few bucks. And we're talking about what else we think Pathfinder could use and work on publishing some other books for Pathfinder. Hopefully that'll bring in a few bucks.

But at least I've found a full-time job. That should be good enough to pay the bills and slowly catch up. Everything else will just be bonuses!
