INCABULOS WINS!
The Dark Rider and me have been battling recently and well...the Evil One wins this time.
I just couldn't do a comic, either physically or mentally. He started with a simple lower gum infection which
caused me a horrendous toothache and loss of sleep. Some antibiotics later and I thought Incabulos was beaten,
but he swiftly moved on to a full on flu attack. I was racked with chills, and nausea and coughs. I could barely
sleep again and he stole my appetite (Incabulos brings famine in many ways). Still, I resisted his diabolical
torture and just when I thought there was light at the end of Wednesday...he slaps a viral outbreak on the roof of my mouth and
my tongue, making eating (now that my appetite was back) quite difficult and painful. The final straw was a checkup at the
dentist today about the previous toothache. X-Rays showed that around my old root canal it was -still- deeply infected despite
the antibiotics having removed all the pain it caused. So now, I have to have my cap (That I spent big money
and extreme pain to have done in the first place) pulled if I ever want the
infected absess to go away for good. Oh Incabulos, your evil knows no end. Needless to say I'm in pretty good
spirits and I think I'll be able to sleep soundly after tonight as well. So more comics next time. Sorry to let
you all down, but I thought you deserved to know what was up.
