One more day. I am so looking forward to surgery. Not just for the surgery itself, but so that I can start taking my supplements again. I got hit with a Charlie horse last night, somewhere around 2 – 3 in the morning. It actually started...
[This is a repost of this post I originally made on Cohost on 4 October 2022.] Assembled with the assistance of Zandra and Val. These swamps will be judged on two axes: Fun: How enjoyable it is to play through the swamp as a zone in a...
