God help me, it's probably time to start talking about Blood Feud.

I'm gonna go ahead and do a quick health update as part of this since they're partially entwined.
I met with my family doctor this week, and I got excellent news. Because I'm eating so (fucking miserably) clean right now, my metrics are actually better than they were before all this happened. I'm reading normal across the board, with my blood pressure finally stabilized after two months of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
However, I've still got occasional chest pain, and the belief is that I'll keep the gunk through the end of August. If it's not gone by then, we'll have to do more tests. Hooray. Thankfully, my doctor is VERY confident that it's shrinking and will have healed by then.
Still, I'm technically under bedrest through August 31st, although I do have her blessing to do some modest travel if cabin fever sets in. I needed that. Sadly, I do not have her blessing to drink coke or eat fried cheese. So, my life is an unending empty void of frustration and need.
Anyway, the double whammy of this and our having two lost Blood Feud players makes this season kinda shitty for me. I'll level with you that I even took a shot and asked ML to run it this time. As a judge, I knew he would be too busy, but that's about where my interest level is at the moment.
So, when we do Blood Feud this year, I need it to be easy. Kim's already spending all of her free time keeping me breathing -- you wouldn't believe how many Alexa timers we have in our house right now -- so I can't throw this on her, either.
At this point, I'm toying with several options, including just doing a draft league, going back to five keepers to make things less complicated, or running it the way we did last year.
League consolidation is also on the menu since at least one player isn't returning this year and another...well, we all miss Shay and amoxy. If anyone who hasn't been playing is interested, that would help make this season feel less sad.
I'd appreciate any feedback you have on how you'd like to proceed. I'll just be reading for the time being.

I will go with the majority, but would put in my vote for just a straight old draft.

This made me laugh…and cry, “Sadly, I do not have her blessing to drink coke or eat fried cheese. So, my life is an unending empty void of frustration” -- nm*
