I survived the great AO3 attack of 2023

I got sick a bit ago and now I have a lung infection. It hurts to breathe and exist. Like an idiot, I didn't tell anyone until 5 days after the chest pain started. On Sunday (three days ago), mom took me to Urgent Care and I'm on meds now and they're my friendssss.
          
          On Thursday, a boy who sat next to me in class passed away.  I found out on Monday (two days ago).  I couldn't stop crying cuz I've been thinking of Technoblade for the last little while.
          
          On Tuesday (yesterday), my mom was driving to pick up my brother when a thing my dad installed under the drivers seat caught fire and filled the car with toxic smoke.  My mother already has chronic bronchitis so she's been on a portable oxygen machine since last year cuz she can't breathe.  We took her to the ER yesterday and they kept her overnight. 
          
          So, long story short, this week is turning out to be a week straight from the depths of hell.  
          
          I have yet to see what this will do to my writing. Either I'll avoid it (and any and all other responsibilities) or I'll cling to it and use it as a way to escape.  We'll see what happens.
          
          If I need to take a break, I'll let you guys know, but I may also continue writing so I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.  
          
          Sorry in advance if I do end up taking some time. 
          
          ❤️ Al

@FeltyPancake417 I don't know yet. I'm going to try and finish the current DSMP story I'm working on. My therapist says that writing can be a good destressor, so it might help. We'll see

@packleaderBriggan Maybe writing can clear your mind.

Last night I slept like a baby... By which I mean I was constantly waking up and hardly slept.  I had this dream that someone I know (I don't remember his face, but I just *knew* him) got sick. There was no cure for it, and all I could do was watch and cry as he slowly deteriorated until he was gone.
          
          Was it my soul crying out for Technoblade again? I think so. 
          
          Did I wake up in tears multiple times? Yes, I very much did.

Alright guys!!  For the next week-ish, I will be gone.  I am going on a youth camping/pioneer remembrance trek and I will be walking 25 miles in three days.  I have to wake up in FIVE HOURS FROM NOW, AT APPROXIMATELY 2:00 A.M. IN MY TIME ZONE... Ugh wish me luck, imma need it.

I have one more final paper to turn in!!  It's a huge paper we were supposed to be working on since midterms... And I haven't started it.  It's due in five days, but that's a problem for future me!  Current me is obsessing over Heartstopper and Kit Connor!
