So I haven't posted here in like months and months and figured it'd be about time to a) give a life update and b) come back.
I see my last post was like February. Since then, played a bunch of Melee weeklies and monthlies and ended up making #8 on our top 10 local PR. Could've placed higher but the guy above me has a set on me and we never saw each other in bracket afterwards. Not a huge deal, easily fixed in the fall when I end up going from #8 to #3-4.
Got a job at a CVS. I mostly like it, though it's had its ups and downs itself because of how my boss likes to mess up scheduling, then change everything last minute to compensate. I like my coworkers though, even if we don't really have much in common, and it's money, so hey. Can't really complain all that much, even now with the night shift that kind of keeps me from being social in more ways than just Discord or the internet, which are still kind of limited anyway.
Recently had to be in the hospital for about 4 days. I had a bacterial infection in my leg that resulted in me having to visit the doctor to see what I should get from immediate care to treat it. In the process, I kind of didn't eat like a dingus, and combined with my anxiety about health care, I passed out, and my heart rate dropped super low/I stopped breathing briefly. Got rushed to the ER by EMTs who I had a similar episode with again, and was tested to see if I had seizures. Turns out I didn't, but I have neurally mediated hypertension, which TL;DR I have low blood pressure and need salt on things along with a lot of water to have a healthier heart rate and more blood in my system, because otherwise I run the risk of fainting and not being in good condition. They gave me pills for it and also some supplements to help me along with my diet, as well as antibiotics for my leg. It's all taken care of now.
The only other things that have happened are that I got a 2DS to get prepped for Pokemon Sun/Moon since it was what I could afford at the time (I blew a tire the same week so that was an expense I had to deal with), and that I've changed gamertags once again. I'm now Symphoniac. Hopefully I'll remember to ask for a swap here to make that work out, but basically it's a change I initiated when I started playing Smite for a while and wanted a different display name, and I liked it because it reminded me of one of my other favorite games next to Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, which would be Tales of Symphonia.
Conveniently, a lot of the characters in that game have 5-letter names, so more tags for PM.
So...uh, yeah. That's catching up 4 months up to speed. I feel bad for not being around except on like Discord/Twitter. So consider this my "hey, I'm back" thing. <3
