Just an update for anyone that's curious: I know I said I would be back after a few weeks but I only managed 3 days before life decided to throw me yet another curveball.
My mother has been in hospital with Covid (Delta variant) for the last 2 weeks and she's barely hanging by a thread. She also has Covid-induced pneumonia in the lungs. She is currently in ICU on a ventilator and unconscious. She isn't able to breath by herself. She is also elderly so age is working against her, although she is healthy for her age.
Point being is that yesterday she took a turn for the worst and now her kidneys are struggling to cope. I have been told to prepare myself for the worst (multiple organ failure), but despite that I'm staying positive that she will recover.
If anyone knows me then they'll be well aware that the last 2 years have been rough for me. My father passed away, I had my left eye removed and now this. It was the last thing I needed and that's without getting into all the other crap running along side this, which is why I have barely been getting online.
Don't worry, I'm quite mentally robust and generally a positive person even in the worst of times, so I'll live. However, I am only human.
I'm well aware that none of us are infallible or inviolable, especially when we're under pressure.
For now though I need to be an anchor for my mother. I must give everything I have to her well being and safety. I couldn't live with myself if I gave anything less than that.
Suffice to say I won't be around for awhile. Except this time I'm not sure when I'll return to Doomworld. I can only say that I will indeed return at some point, but it may be weeks or even months. There's just too much going on at the moment and for the foreseeable future.
I'll say thanks in advance for any well wishers since I won't be online after I post this. With any luck I'll be back in a 2-3 weeks, but that might be wishful thinking. It's more likely to be 2-3 months.
Stay safe and have fun. Thanks for the laughs Doomworld.

Alright, despite my best efforts I just don't have the time to get on doomworld everyday.
I'm not sure if anyone has noticed but I have been posting less and less over the last couple of weeks or so. Compared to before where I was quite active because I had more free time.
The reason for this is that life is a very chaotic at the moment and I simply don't have as much free time as I'd like. It's been effecting my mood and I haven't been anywhere near my usual upbeat self lately.
Hopefully it won't be for too long. I have to focus on this stuff as things are beginning to spiral out of control. Don't worry it's nothing I cannot fix, but I do need to tend to the garden so to speak.
I will return when I have dealt with these irritating and distracting life problems.
With any luck I'll be away for no more than a few weeks at best. Whenever things get back to normal, or at least some semblance of it.
Until then, have fun and keep your chin up.

Well, that turned out better than expected. I honestly thought I would be gone for at least 6-8 weeks, but I'm back a lot sooner than I expected.
My posting might be a little sporadic for the next two weeks since I still have a few lose ends to tie up, but at least I have some free time now.
Other than that I'll be floating around on Doomworld.

Welcome back man! It'll be good to have you around again :)

Thanks Omni.
Give me a week or two and I should be a little more active around here. Well, at least I'll be posting more than once or twice a week :)
I'll see you around on the forums!
