Update: Signs of Life – Chapter 28

Meep! I didn’t mean to miss updates again this week. I got distracted on Halloween, and then yesterday I had a doctor’s appointment and then it was NaNoWriMo, so I was really focused on getting started there. I’ll update again tomorrow to make up for it 🙂

I hope everyone is having a good week. Things are cautiously good here. I left my brace off today because it didn’t fit well on my sweater and my arm isn’t really that sore which is a great sign. I’m going to wear it tomorrow and a little more next week though just to be on the safe side.

We had some tragic news in the soap world — another devastating loss. Tyler Christopher, who originated Nikolas in 1996 and played him the longest (and the best IMO) passed away. He was only 50. Coming only six weeks after losing Billy Miller, I can’t imagine what the cast is going through when you think that Sonya Eddy and Jacklyn Zeman have also passed within the last calendar year. Just tragic. I knew Tyler was dealing with addiction, but I wasn’t aware he was also suffering from bipolar disorder. And having that news only a few days after Matthew Perry on Saturday night — just a really rough week for fans of a certain age.

On a somewhat brighter note, I’m actually going to see Becky on Sunday! She’s coming to the East Coast for the first time in AGES, and it’s the first time since 2006 that she’s come to NJ at the same time I could afford to go. I bought my tickets ages ago, so I’m really excited. You guys know what the character of Elizabeth means to me and it’s so amazing to think I get to see my favorite actress in person. Plus, a lot of Twitter mutuals are going, so I always love to hang out with people who love the character as much as I do.

I’ll see you guys tomorrow for another update!
