Inside the head of a madman

Still rolling natural ones...

My life and times, such as they are

So, apparently, kidneys are considered something nice.

I went to a specialist about my high blood pressure, and he immediately ordered a couple batteries of tests. Eleven vials of blood, two unmentionable cups and an ultrasound later, he tells me there's an excess of protein bleeding from my kidneys. Like 360 time as much as there's supposed to be. So now I'm getting ready for a kidney biopsy. On the bright side, the biopsy should tell us exactly what's wrong and exactly how it needs to be treated (according to the Doc), with the added bonus of a very, very minor chance that this could be the key to my diabetes as well. On the down side, I won't be able to lift anything heavy for a month--wait a second, I'm a lazy sot, that's not a downside at all! Actually, the downside is that this is starting to strain my parents' finances, and I worry for them. They're both retirees on a fixed income, and it's not like they don't have health issues of their own. I've been praying that some of my siblings strike it rich and can help the folks out some--it's not like my employability issues are going to end soon.

So, I keep plugging on my writing projects. The Whateley RPG I'm working on at [link] has been shaping up well, I think--at least, no-one's told me it sucks. The other two RPGs I'm working on--Infinite Realms (my own homebrew modular RPG, made from scratch) and d20 Universal Saga Edition (Updating and Upgrading the d20 Modern system using concepts from the Star Wars Saga Edition RPG)--continue a little slower. As I'm actively GMing Whateley, that's been occupying more of my thought processes. My fanfic proceeds even slower. Every time I pull the file up to write, I get an idea for another ruleset instead. But hey--SOMETHING's progressing.

Artistic Projects
Two or three roleplaying systems and some fanfiction set in Whateley Acadamy.
