Orlando FWA Mtg – Wed – Dec 1 – Cancelled!
Sorry for the late notice, but I am either drafting epitaphs or identifying new gods I have not previously annoyed to see if they will listen to my prayers.
The quick version: Got a flu shot. A week later I got a booster shot. Booster shot sent me into a tailspin. Felt quite sick for two weeks. Too lazy to eat right (and diabetic) I screwed up my sugars. I don’t feel good at all.
I am going to take this month off and see if I can get myself back to a better state of health.
Have a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, and a Happy New Year!
P.S. If you come up with a good epitaph for me, please shoot to me in an email. Thanks!
