I know, I know, I haven’t been posting anything for a while, and a lot of you have been getting on my case about it. I’m sorry, my little ones, I really am!

So, to explain my absence, I have made this little personal blog. Since you might not care one bit about what goes on in my personal life, you won’t be bothered with it. If you are currious, however, click to read more.

I have not had very much motivation to post stuff on my blog. I certainly have a lot of ideas, but the will to put in the effort has been dwiddling a bit. It’s not that I lost interest in the blog or WoW, don’t worry!

Assassins Quips

Where to start? Well, the mildest of occurences is that Assassins Creed 2 came out. It’s a very nice game. I enjoyed it very much. And it sure enjoyed taking all of my time for the last 1½ weeks.

On a bit more serious note, I lost my job. Yeah, it sucks, I know, especially when you have been doing the same thing for over four years, and suddenly have to not do that anymore. I wasn’t fired for anything sinister – the company I worked for simply has a downfall in its economy, and had to let a few people go. I was one of them.

But while I am very sad to have to let go of the thing I have pursued for the last four years (and even longer, as I’ve been with the site for over 10 years), I don’t let it affect me too much. It is a way to get a new start, and come out and try something new and exciting. I have a big network, and I am fairly confident that I will find something else.

Pain in the.. head

The most serious issue, and this is probably what has been keeping me away from my blog, is sickness. About a month ago, I started getting a weird sort of headache. Whenever I cough or do anything that require just a little bit of effort, the back right side of my head hurts – a lot. The pain subsides after about 20 seconds. Following that came a general headache, which is probably because I am getting annoyed with the whole thing.

Obviously, I have visited a doctor. He took my blood pressure and went “You BP is too high. Its either too hight because of your headache, or you have a headache because of your BP”. He gave me some blood pressure pills, and its down where it should be, but the headache is still around. He gave me a bag of mixed pain killers, which I have been quaffing ever since, but it only diminishes the pain, and doesn’t do much to remove the mystic headache.

Then he drew some blood. Everything was fine there, except for my Vitamin D values. They are insanely low, much lower than one would expect to drop over a cloudy winter. Perhaps that is the source of the headaches? My doctor has me quaffing five times the recommended amount of D vitamin for the next 6 months to get my levels up to “acceptable”, but so far, no change on the headaches.

Do not fear, Qieth is here!

But while by head feels like someone took a sledgehammer to the back of my skull, I try to not have it affect me. I am still working (still have work until the end of june), I am still smiling, and the “rest of me” still works just fine. I’ve always said that the road to a good life, is a good attitude, and I plan on keeping it that way.

I’m sure it will be fixed. I am confident that my doctor would have reacted harder if it had been a life threatening disease. But as you see, there is a lot of things going on, and I am sorry that this has keeped me away from posting updates.
