So, I'll start by saying that I'm happy to report I do not have cancer in my ass. XD
Long-time supporters may recall me being unwell quite often over the last year or so. Well, when you're told 'it could be a tumour in your bowels' you tend to freak out a bit. Fortunately, as I stated earlier, my ass is cancer-free! Unfortunately, that means we don't know what the hell is wrong with me. We're operating on the assumption now that it's IBS that has just gone unnoticed for a very long time, due to the painkillers I take for my back, and I'm on a pretty heavy course of antibiotics. They're helping, and I gotta say, I didn't realise how bad things had gotten until I started getting better. Hoo boy. I'm not 100% yet, but damn do I feel much better.
I mean, everything still hurts, the public health system is ignoring me, and now I gotta pull an exorbitant amount of money out of my cancer-free-ass to pay for a specialist to get all my meds sorted so they don't contribute to any problems in my butt, but, hey, I feel better and that's what matters most. Progress!
So, yeah, I was somewhat distracted this month. I have been trying to get back into writing, though, even if it's only a little. I've been on-and-off working on some other stuff, as seen above, for the Self Insert, because this politicking chapter is quite heavy. It's all planned out, and even started, but it's... a lot. It's hard work, and I haven't really been up to it lately, if I'm honest. I'm still trying, though. I'm hopped up on a frankly ludicrous amount of painkillers and energy drinks right now, and I'm trying really hard to get as much done before the end of the month as I can. Hopefully, fingers crossed, I can squeeze out a draft in the next few days. I wouldn't hold my breath, but I'm trying.
As for everything else, things are going... okay, I guess. My brother and I are settled into our new place, and we're as comfortable as we can be in a house with no air-conditioning in tropical Australia. I started playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 again, to try and distract myself while I was waiting for test results to come it. I had to start again lol. I totally forgot how to play the game. It's fun, though, and Nia remains best girl. I've also decided to enter a miniatures painting contest at my local hobby store this month. I'm not particularly confident, but nothing ventured nothing gained.
Okay! Back to writing! I hope y'all are doing well, and thank you for being so patient with me during the shit of a year 2022 has been for me. I hope y'all are looking forward to some more goofy comedy once the heavy politics are done, because I'm having a lot of fun writing and planning both.
Thanks again for all your continued support, and Nagaspeed, friends!

Don't worry you're not the only one who learned that sort of thing about their body later in life trust me I would know
