tracker7We wrapped up the first chapter of the Mage game Sunday night. Short a couple of players, which I'm pretty sure led to our GM truncating some things, but it was a good time. The GM, Drew, asked for ideas on what we want to do next, so there's my next gaming challenge.
Monday afternoon, The Niece and I headed back to Lexington for another visit with Mom. Mom was tired, but felt pretty good, and I think she was ready for some company that wasn't Dad. We talked a lot and made some plans for her recovery at home. It was a good visit.
The hope was, Mom would be released on Wednesday the 25th, so I made plans to go to Liberty then and help out. I held off a day after Dad called to let me know that release would be delayed a day. Mowed the front yard, took care of a couple of errands, waited. Rolled out Thursday morning, and got a text from Dad - one more day. I was nearly to Springfield, and had a package being delivered to Mom&Dad's, so I rolled on and had the house to myself for a while. The world's neediest Doberman got attention, maybe more than he wanted, my new book and toy starship arrived, and I watched a lot of The X-Files on BBC America.
Finally, she was released this afternoon. Her heart, newly repaired, wasn't beating in a rhythm her surgeon was happy with, but that sorted out, and she's home now. Recovery is going to be a long road. We'll get through it, though, and I'm looking forward to having a healthier, stronger Mom around for years to come.
The outpouring of support over the last two weeks has amazed me. Friends and family-by-choice offered every assistance under the sun. I have to remember this, so that I can continue to be worthy of it.
Oh, the package! Thrawn: Alliances, a new Star Wars novel by Timothy Zahn, and the Profundity (MC75 cruiser) expansion pack for Armada. Redeemed a stack of rewards points for an Amazon card and got those for next to nothing.

Date: 2018-07-29 12:38 pm (UTC)I've had a blast with the Mage game, and can't wait to see what the other players come up with for our next chapter. Mage (Dark Age, Sorceror's Crusade, and Ascension) are now open for Storyteller's Vault content, too.
