Possibly Maybe Delays · 2:02am Jul 24th, 2023
Hi.
He said, knowing what that title says. As though 'Hi' somehow contained within it all the words that he would spend on the rest of this blog. In that casual weighty way one would give the order to fire the nukes and invite armageddon on us all. Not unlike the way a weary soldier would great his wife upon returning and finding her in bed with another man. Entirely unlike the way you would greet a stranger on the street.
Well clearly I still have an urge to write things.
Anyway, forgive the words, but I wanted to give y'all a heads up that things might-possibly-probably slow down around here for a bit.
Basically, my mom, whom I live with, ruptured her Achille's tendon. For various other reasons, with one leg on a strict no-weight-bearing orders, she's more-or-less immobile. Bed>couch>bathroom is about the extend of what she can manage, and even that comes with a fear of rupturing her other tendon, given it's already weakened.
So on top of working full time I'm now also taking care of her, the house as a whole, and the cats on my own.
It's been three days and I'm already tired, guys. I've been trying to get the next chapter of Instinctual done and I've managed a whopping 700 words this past week. Previously when I actually had the time to sit down I was getting a solid 1000 words a day. And now I don't even know how much time I'll have. I already took a day off work to deal with this and rearrange the house to help and I've got my quarterly evaluation coming up and just.
And I'm just tired.
So yeah. I'm still gonna try and write stuff, but betweent he stress of all this and my limited free time now... well, no promises. I hope you can understand.
Thankfully, I live in Canada, so medical expenses beyond medication aren't a concern. Lord save me if I lived in the states.
That's all I got. Maybe the next chapter of Instinctual by the end of the month. Maybe not. I'll try. Sorry.
Until next time,
Kodeake out
aw, i hope your mom recovers well and recovers quickly. hang in there and take the time you need!
Hey, don't feel bad. Writing is supposed to help you relax, if it becomes an obligation that stresses you out even more when you are already in a stressful situation don't hesitate to put it on hold. I hope that you and your mom can get through this well and I wish your mother a speedy recovery

I wish your mother a speedy recovery, and you plenty of rest. We shall wait here until you return. take care.
