Car Still Not Fixed, Much Like Life

lydamorehouse My parents noted that I left the car story on a cliffhanger.
So hang no more!
Car is stil not fixed. I have a temporary solution, which was always the temporary solution, and that's currently how we are getting around. I need to try to make an appointment somewhere else, but I have failed to have the appropriate number of spoons to do it. It's even worse, as it's one of those situations where I have several really good recommendations, I just haven't felt up to making the call to see when/if I can get in.
My spoons have been low this whole last week because I've been really rather broken over yet-another-drama in one of my roleplaying games. It's apparently surprisingly difficult for people to be kind and empathetic when I'm not the one doing the emotional intelligence gathering and heavy-lifting, I guess? It shouldn't be a surprise, after all this time, but here we are. I'm feeling fully wrecked over something that is ultimately very, very, very, VERY stupid* and not worth this much of my time or energy.
I've lost a full week and at least one friendship to it and that's just dumb.
On the flipside, my players pulled off an amazing conclusion to a D&D mini-campaign on Saturday and I spent a full twelve hours HIGH on the experience of that. We laughed, we cried, we solved not one, but THREE (well, two and a half, as per D&D one of the victims was revivified!) murders! It really felt exactly like what a good gaming session should feel like. It was not quite enough for them all to level up next time, but they were handsomely rewarded and avoided starting a full-on Seelie/UnSeelie Fey War.
What a f*cking amazing game.
So, there is hope, my friends. There is always hope.

*The fact that this is all happening over a game that should be fun is stupid, to be clear. Not the problem.
