Oven Fried Chicken

So I’m finally getting to run this Werewolf : The Apocalypse game I’ve been thinking of for many many years now. For those of you that don’t know, Werewolf is a tabletop RPG with dice, paper, etc. Yes, I’m that chick.

I had the first half of the group come on Saturday night to build characters and talk about the campaign. The rest of the group came Sunday night. We got a lot done but I think James is going to be a problem. Whenever someone asks a question he pipes up with an answer, even if I was thinking something different as the person running the game. While, on one hand it’ll be helpful to have someone that remembers the rules clearly, it’s also going to be frustrating to try and assert my dominance (so to speak) as the GM.

It was a long, tiring weekend but worth the effort. My kitchen is still trashed and I’m afraid. I want to clean it up tonight but I’ve just been so darn tired!! I went to Kathy’s and had Ken’s oven friend chicken. It was weird, seeing him for the first time after learning he was ill. He doesn’t seem sick but then again I’m not him and can’t feel what he’s feeling. I gave him plenty of hugs.

I know it may be selfish but I’m really concerned for how I’m going to handle this. It’s not that losing Ken is going to be as hard on me as it is on Kathy but I’m going to be losing him and watching Kathy lose her husband and quite frankly, it just keeps taking me back to losing my grandfather and how it was to see him wasting away. Kathy is one of my best friends and I genuinely love her. My heart aches that she and Ken are going through this. But, then, I’m being pessimistic. They may have caught the cancer early enough. You never can tell.

Right now we’re all just praying as hard as we know how to pray.
