The host cancels tonight's 9 PM stream to prioritize her mental health after a difficult day. She shares she's lost 40 pounds, is exhausted from long work hours, and is grieving recent family losses. She'll be back with a full show next week.
Hey everyone, it is not 9 PM Eastern, and no, but it is Saturday, so I'm like a little bit close. Anywho, if you read the comments— or sorry, you read the description here, it tells you why. Oh wow, look at you guys, you are on fire! Hi Abigail, hi Moo. Um, so yeah, it is not 9, it is not even 6 o'clock. It's— I got 3 hours, but I am not going to be back on tonight at 9. Hey Tara, nice to see you. Um, because I just can't, and some days you just can't. Um, and today is that day. Oh, all right, sorry, I'm playing because I'm on my phone. That's why I'm so skinny and little. Um, and it's also the 40 pounds I've lost, in case you haven't noticed. No, just kidding. Um, no, that is actually not a joke. I have actually lost 40 pounds. But yesterday was very traumatic and I'm very tired, so I am gonna sit here on the couch with my dog. Wait here, wait, we'll hide my husband. But there's the dog-ish. Um, my husband's actually gonna wave anyway. Um, but yeah, so tonight it is just hanging out, and I've actually managed to like hold it together most of the day. So sorry for talking to you guys like this, but y'all have seen me cry before. These things happen. Mr. Foss, really? You got here after I played the intro? It's okay, because when I hit the outro, it'll play again, I think. Um, this is the first time I've done this on my phone, uh, since I've got the intro and outros. So anyway, there we have it. All right, so yeah, um I will absolutely be back next week with a full show. Um, and then Happy Father's Day to all of you dads out there. Um, for those of you who still have dads, I hope you get to do something fun tomorrow. And yeah, this dad, you know what we're doing fun for tomorrow? We are cleaning the garage, and that is our Father's Day thing. Um, normally we do, uh, what do you call it,, a shooting match, literally a shooting match on Father's Day. But Massachusetts just changed all their laws and we can't go there without a permit. So, um, there is that. All right, so, um, that's kind of it. I just want to pop on because I know y'all look for me tonight at 9 and I'm not going to be here. But for those who are watching the replay, uh, again, I will be back next week. Uh, all right, Chasing Ghosts, what are you playing today? You always have something new and different. Are you videoing it and you're gonna share, or, uh, no? And, um, go hang out with Lucy. Abigail, cool. Um, what is 40 number? Right on. I don't even know. Congrats. I have— what are we talking about? I lost something. Just like, I don't know. All right, so yeah, just want to pop on, let y'all know, uh, this Saturday I'm taking off because my mental health matters, and I'm gonna do the right thing that I'll tell you guys to do, right, is do something that takes, uh, that's important to you, I guess. So with that, thank you all. Oh, on the 40 pounds, yeah, that makes sense. Like 40 what? Thank you, Moo. I'm sorry, I'm a little bit slow. And yeah, that is the pound sign, isn't it? So 40 pounds, yep. But luckily Abigail is here to catch me and help me figure out what we're talking about. Um, all right, John Prime Cranberry's little The phone is so tall. Little feet. Oh cool. Um, dad is 85 and awesome. Very cool. Do you get to hang out with him tomorrow or do something with him, or at least make the phone call? Uh, my dad is no longer on this plane of existence, so, um, I— we get to focus all of our, uh, love and affection to my husband for tomorrow. And because his father's also already passed, so that's what he gets for being the baby. Guitar equals therapy. Crazy week. Yeah, yeah, it's been a crazy week. I've decided that there is like no not crazy weeks. We just have different levels of crazy most of the time. Um, I know last couple weeks has been way too many 5 AM till 9:30 PM days, and it's only been like 3 or 4, and luckily not all in a row, but it's just like waking up at 4:30 and not actually being able to go back to sleep, and then getting out of bed by 5:30, 6 o'clock, and then not getting back to bed till 9. Now, for someone like Tara who does over-the-road driving, I'm sure, you know, she's working 12 hours. Or any of my, uh, nurses and those guys. Um, oh, I'm sorry, Boss, I didn't know dad died when you were 8. That kind of sucks. But maybe your mom finds somebody else that was lovely and wonderful, and the second dad, hopefully, because it is nicer to have both parents of some sort, real or adopted. Goodness know we all have family that we adopted, like you guys. Um, so let's see. Chill in Lucy's arms, do some shots, and play Ace Combat and War Thunder while we take, uh, turns info dumping. Okay, this is what girls— what happens with girls. I was actually just at a graduation party a little while ago And, uh, I decided— I told one of the ladies there, I'm like, did you know us ladies on average say 1,000 to 2,000 more words a day than our, um, our counterparts, our male counterparts? 1,000 to 2,000 more words is what the girls say than the dudes on average. Oh, number 2, dad was not wonderful. Bummer. Well, you know, maybe third time's the charm. But anyway, I think you're good enough now, right? And hey, if you didn't do well, then you wouldn't be making all these awesome intros and outros for us people. Oof. Oh, Tara, that sucks. Phone been broken twice in 2 weeks, out of contact with everything, new phone dropped face first on the rocks. Oh my gosh, this is why I always get the insurance. Because without the insurance, forget about it. And I also put like the hard cases on all of my phones because I drop them, I leave them on the four-wheeler, all sorts of stuff. So, um, your annual review only— your boss only said that you complained that I talk too much. Well, hey, we're girls, what can I say? Oh, anyway, all right, well, I wasn't planning on staying on even this long really, um, but I know y'all be looking for 9 o'clock, and so figure I give you a heads up because I need some more rest. So anyway, extra $10 per month on insurance? Yeah, I actually don't even know what it is. I just know that I replace my phone more than once in the course of a year, or the contract, so So that's, that's kind of it. Oh, the $99 for replacement. Yeah, there is that. All right, my friends, love you to pieces. I'm gonna go and I will see you all next week. And feel free to spread the word, say hi to Hillbilly for me tonight because I'm definitely not making that. Um, and have an awesome weekend. Love you guys. Bye.
