    That should do it.

    I had three stories on the 30-minute pony site which were never published here. They are now.

    In 2015, many of the projects I had been halfheartedly working on since I got into ponies in 2011 and should have finished by then died when my computer did.

    A couple years ago, I found an old flash drive which had copies of some of the stories on it.

    What does that mean? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!?

    Health Update Update

    Looks like the Big Brain BBQ is being postponed until they see how well Lorlatinib deals with the unwelcome guests in my skull.

    I've been taking it a little over a week and I think I've noticed an improvement. I know I feel physically better than I did on my old drug, and my mind's been feeling a little clearer, too.

    Health Update

    So after almost five years of living with cancer, I got told on Sep. 29th that there was a spot on one of my MRIs which was 'probably nothing'. Then they told me I had three tumors on my brain and said zapping them individually would be easy.

    Good news, I'm alive!

    So, at the time of my last blog I not only had cancer, but I was also suffering from pneumonia. This was the week after my first hospital visit, where they basically did a bunch of tests and gave me risky heart surgery because there was a sac full of fluid crushing it.

    So, it's been a few years...

    Anything new with you?

    Me, i'm dying.

    Long story short I went to the doctor for what I thought was sciatica and turned out to be stage 4 lung cancer that had metastasized throughout my whole body and reached my back. I never smoked. I never hung out around smokers. It's just one of those things.

    I've got 3-6 months left, apparently, though I plan to fight for more.

Well, that was ghastly. · 10:07pm Jun 23rd, 2014

I switched from my old gas station job to one inside the store doing night stocking.

After barely a week of being too slow, knocking things over and having to re-assemble them, putting things in the wrong place, trying to fulfill the most contradictory orders I've ever received, maybe getting two hours of sleep a day in my busy, busy house, slicing my hands open on things, being run ragged for eight hours a night and still getting everything wrong, exacerbating a couple of joint issues I've been having, and feeling like a worthless millstone to every worker around me, I walked into the new store manager's office and got out: "I-If possible, I'd like to t-transfer back to—" before I broke down sobbing uncontrollably like a pathetic thirty-one year-old man-baby. Right in front of this perfect stranger of a boss.

And that's how I got my old job back. Today.

What does this mean for you? It means I'm a giant wuss who blew a chance to make more money.

It also means I can get back to not-writing during work, which means I'll be not-publishing a lot of stories again.

Damn writer's block.

I feel you, man. We all can take only so much, and I won't blame you for reaching that point.
Anyways, good luck with all of the things.
