Absences

trying times
more questions than answers
a shot of tequila as you remind me of my own losses
a prayer for peace in case it works
positive thoughts in your direction
trying times
empathies, sympathies, condolences...

Will be traveling this weekend for my niece's confirmation. Will be a full house and not much time to relax I wager, so probably won't post much from Thursday through Sunday. Will try to catch up on Monday or Tuesday and then be back to my regular schedule by Wednesday.

Sorry on a business trip and recently we had holidays in Japan. Trying to catch my breath. If we are together in games, please don't hesitate to skip my round if we are in combat or anything waiting for me to act. Thanks.

Just a notice for my players. Today is weird. Might not get back to a computer for more than 2 minutes until late.

Taking time off due to real life.

I've been posting slower of late due to some big life changes. I'll probably continue to for a short while. Those in my games generally know what's up, so giving a heads up to other folks I'm in games with.

You got this, cowleyc!

I have not one, but two absences coming up:
• June 19-22
• August 15-21

In both cases, I will be on vacation and offline.

Hi everyone,

It’s been a long, hard ten months, but I wanted to drop in and let you know that I’m still alive. I am doing okay. I’m on a path of recovery, and slowly but surely, I'm finding my way back to happiness.

I’m not quite ready to jump back into gaming here just yet, but I am starting to be social again and revisiting the places I used to love.

When I do return to games, I’ll share the full story. For now, the short version is this: infidelity cuts deep, and divorce is both stressful and expensive. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. I’m close to having my own home, my own life, and the strength to stand fully on my own two feet.

Thank you to everyone who gave me grace and space while I stepped away. Thank you to those who listened as I cried.

All the love,
Book

I daresay that we are all here for you, Book. I know that to be true in my case, and I think that everyone else would agree. It's been my experience that gamers stand by their own. Glad to hear that things are improving for you.

Wishing you the best Bookrat! I came back from my own hiatus recently. You'll always have my recommendation as an awesome person in game and out!
