This will be short, I promise.
I used to love playing video games, but now I'm more about watching others play them, such as my son or daughter. Occasionally I get pangs to play, but I just find myself more interested in 'doing' other things.

Also, today, my dyslexia is acting up a smidgen. I've been misreading words in titles and the titles that my brain is coming up with are hysterically funny and inaccurate.
Such as, animal photography was turned into animal pornography. You can see how it's so easy to mix them up, I hope. Anyhow so that has been happening a lot.
Also, my stutter has sort of come back. What I mean by sort of is that I never really stuttered verbally, just digitally. So when I type out a word it comes out completely different. Such as "what" came out "shat" or "from" comes out "frreom". It's not big deal because I have autocorrect helping me out, but sometimes autokorekt and I have arguments about how something should be spelled and usually I win the argument.

So where's the trouble, you ask?
I miss playing Skyrim!
I loved the line "I used to be an adventurer like you, until I took an arrow to the knee" it's so me! It is so close to what my life was like before my spine started giving me fits. 
I was an adventurer, fearless, and smart. If there was a challenge in an adventure, I was in! Everyone could count on me to be at their side during a real life adventure...until my back got hurt.
So, I started exploring my mind more and more and found adventure in video games. Then, Skyrim! Oh, Skyrim, what a wonderful game. I could be any number of people doing things in any part of that world...but then my kids fell in love with it and started playing my Xbox. I rarely have time for it now. Really? What it comes down to was that it was taking time away from my family. 
I was spending more time with Skyrim than I was my family, so I swore off it for a while. That 'while' has grown into a long period of time until I sort of grew out of love with gaming and more into just being there for my kids. If they choose to play the game that's fine, I'll watch and keep them company, but now when they are away from home doing their things they do, work and school, I'm left wondering if I shouldn't pick it up again and see if I can find my love of adventure somewhere deep inside me.

Much love and light,
