Chapter 51 breaks my dead period!

I can only summarize the sets of months after my vacation as sucky. As a MOBA player, I'd normally use a lot of swear words here otherwise.

I don't recall if I mentioned it here, but the day after my vacation on the other side of the country started I got word that one of my sisters was in a fatal accident with a petroleum tanker. The outcome didn't look good at the time, and my other sister (that I was staying with) stressed out about it. Even after I returned home it was over a month before I heard any news regarding her survival. During the span of 3 days, we had issues with the plumbing where I live, including our water heater dying at almost the same time. (Thankfully the landlord is a good guy and fixed everything inside a few days. RIP @ this stuff happening on weekends.)

Storms like to take turns screwing with my internet. More recently, a thunderstorm fried our modem and a tech had to come out and replace it. @_@

At the start of July, I injured my back (somehow). I really don't know how, even in hindsight. I was spending time with a friend and just ended up in a tremendous amount of pain by the end of the day. I was in excruciating agony for the next two weeks afterwards before it finally subsided enough to do more than be miserable in my room. Lately, I've been dealing with BSODs a lot on my computer. I'm pretty sure it's one specific driver, but it's been getting crazy, including throwing an NTFS.sys error. Never buy an ASUS sound card. Ever. Specifically, anything related to their DG series. (I have a DGX, and I love it, but the driver is the equal to soggy pancakes.)

So, finally, I'm better and here's a new chapter. I'll be returning to work soon, but how I waste my free time hasn't changed. I hope everyone is enjoying the new Rick and Morty, and Game of Thrones, as much as I am. :3

Here, have the exact same face I make when my PC throws a blue screen:
