Maybe you should just drop *all* of your games for a couple of months. Just take a break and not worry about the pressure of having to post.

Think te stress is getting to me, keep falling asleep early. This week the ex has my daughter most nights so I should be able to catch up. I am too mentally drained to post tonight else I would. Thanks again for the patience.
Been there...done that: Got the T-shirt.
You do what you need to do sir. I know I will be waiting.

Man it's been work killing me lately, in fact I am at work right now.
This week will hopefully clear up (RL and work) and like Jesus I will rise from the dead and begin posting again...

Well...Jesus or not...I'll only worship you if we can call you Jim-Bob...he who gives me a job! JIM-BOB!

Folks, work has just been kicking my ass.
I will update Saturday and Sunday night.
That next Monday will be a late night but thereafter I should be able to begin posting once more at a regular rate.
My apologies once more for the trainwreck that has become my posting rate.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
So I got sick over the weekend and that is why no updates.
Hopefully towards the end of the week I will feel better and work slows down I can begin resuming normal posting.
If I am a PC in your game please continue to BOT me.
Thank you for your patience.

Shadow, as much as I love the games that you run n PCs I play in them, I'm starting to think that taking a full break from everything is a good idea.
Not having to stress about your games will definitely improve your health, and overall well-being.

Gotta say, Shadow, I agree. Doesn't even have to be long, but give yourself a week or two minimum to recover some energy and then see how you feel. And then take it from there.

Have to say you all ready have taken a break...it is no big deal if you take longer. Just stop thinking about the pbp games for a week or two...
It probably causes more stress trying to post and not being able too.

It did until I dropped games.
The confluence of events keeping me away from the boards has been more frustrating because I have been unable to enjoy one of my favorite hobbies than stressed because I have not been posting. I've accepted that this is one of the most difficult moments I've encountered in my life and thus I am not beating myself up for doing what I have had to do to get through it.
That said, if this weekend goes well, I will begin posting again once more this Sunday. :-)
If it does not, well there is always next week.

Don't worry about it. Gaming is supposed to be fun. If it stops being fun it's time to take a break.
We all understand and we'll still be here when you're ready and able to come back.

Work is finally about to slow down, thank god.
Despite that slow down at my primary job it has become clear that I will need to pick up a second or perhaps even a third job to do than simply make ends meet. This will require more time out of my days and nights.
Therefore, I will need to cut my posting down even farther, I will make announcements in the threads I will cut as well as send PMs to GMs in games in which I will need to drop.
My apologies again for the extended absence.
I plan to begin posting again in earnest this Sunday April 22.

Worked later then expected today, updates tomorrow.

OK, between tonight/tomorrow/Sunday night I will have all games I DM/ST updated once more. Thereafter, I will do my best to update 2-4 times per week depending on my own schedule and PC updates. Now that I am only involved in 10 or so games as a DM/PC I can turn tings around quicker and spend less time doing so.

Bit of a hiccup over the weekend and I never really got a chance to just relax with my "vacation" weekend. Regardless, I'll be updating some games tonight as I am off child duty tonight.
I guess I should get around to updating my character than...

Was just too exhausted to update last night.
Got a few updates in this morning, will get to more tonight.
Thanks once more for the patience as I begin to try and reintegrate posting into my daily routine.

Having been an early bird lately, it seems that morning posting is better for my schedule. Still trying to figure it all out, posting now as PC and DM in all games as I have nothing doing until 6 pm tonight. :-)

Are you going to have Friday off this week like last week?

Sorry hitting the wall due to still recovering from being sick and working long hours.
I will get up early and post prior to work.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
OK, games updated.
One more update and I updated all games I DM tonight for the first time in some time... :-) Ah, the things you can accomplish when kids go to bed when they are supposed to!
I have a busy schedule this week but I will do my best to keep this momentum moving forward.

Just found out my dog is dying and with my financial situation treatment is cost prohibitive. Took the day off we are hanging together such a nice day for such s!#$ news.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
OK, Friday night is my last table top game before the summer break and I am going to see Slayer et al on Saturday.
So no updates Friday, possible a few Saturday morning, and then full on updates Sunday evening after my little one heads to bed.
Pup is hanging in there we shall see what the coming weeks bring.

Thanks goodwicki, he's like a son to me as I'll never have one so it's real tough. I am hoping he can hold out for a while but once he starts to be in pain I'm going to have to let him go, luckily he's holding stable for now but the end is in sight and it's hard to see it with tears in my eyes but I know it's coming :-(
Thank goodness there are things that allow us to forget tragedy like Thrash Metal and D&D :-)

Further updates Tuesday night.

Whatever I do not get to by mid-day tomorrow, I will get to one Sunday evening for updates.

Alright folks, bad DM bad DM! I've spent my free time this weekend building PCs to pursue my own fantasies in RP here on the boards instead of fulfilling yours.
I will update either tomorrow night or Tuesday night, my apologies for the delay as I have no excuse!
FYI, I will be getting Divorced tomorrow so at least that will be over with!

OK, once more the dog woke me up a few times in the night so I am fading early, if he wakes me up again, I'll post early morning, if not, late tomorrow night as its Father's Day and I'll be out all day with my daughter.

Going to have to put my pup down next Tuesday, posting will be spotty till then as I am down to my last 90 or so hours with him and want to spend more than less with him at this point in time.
