The Daily Rick

I'm tired. This whole hospital fiasco has done nothing but stress me out. My eyes are killing me. I think there's some dust or an eyelash or something up in my eyelids and it's really irritating. I'm all stuffy and I've been sneezing all day. Am I a victim of Spring allergies? In past years, I've been hit by this to some extent but this is the worst, by far. Is this from being in a sterile hospital room for a week then suddenly being released into the pollenated, germ-infested world? Who knows.

I miss my girlfriend. And I'll miss her even more next week as I've taken a position to work nights. On what, I have no idea. But the money's good and money's what I need. I'll definitely have lunch with her every day next week, if I'm able and if she's able since I'm gonna lose my nights with her...the only time we have together. Fuck....this sucks.

Got an email today from FedEx saying I have a package being sent from Dark Horse again. What the hell is Scott Allie up to this time? He's been really great, rising above and beyond for me. Hell, all the Hellboy fans have been tremendous. Check it out. I don't know if I deserve any of this, but I'm not in any position to say 'no', financially.

Thanks to Scott Allie, to Mike and Christine Mignola, to Drew Struzan, to everyone who's donated their amazing work to the cause. And thanks to my darling Lindsey, my shining light in all this darkness.
