Entanglement 2021

The “Entanglement 2021” was a period of bad luck for Dylan starting in October 2021. A lot happened during that period including multiple water leaks and flooding in the house, surgeries gone wrong, and family members hospitalized. Some of the “crises” were relatively minor, there were all stressful since there was no relenting on the cadence of events.

Due to some strange quirk of fate, these events hit on an average of every three weeks well past December 2022. At the moment, there hasn't been an end to the entanglement which will happen as soon as nine weeks go without a major crises in his life.

  • 2022-10-26 Various Updates - Good and Bad - Two months ago, I was uncomfortable and in pain and distracted myself with migrating to a new forge. In the time since then, I've pretty much done the same thing: been in a lot of pain and migrating stuff.
