Bad News.

Today I received some bad news. Apparently my Grandfather who was admitted to the hospital on Monday has been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease. He's a diabetic who's been dealing with obesity as long as I've known him. On Monday, he was admitted to the hospital where they found that his blood sugar level was over 500. For context, 300 is an emergency. He's going to be 87 this year. The last

Hiatus.

I've decided to put my stories on hiatus. I've got a lot of things going on in life, and I feel like I've lost the passion to write. I might come back at some point. But right now my life is full.

Writer's block.

So I've been out of the writing game for the past two months. The reason being I'm stuck with where to go next?" Part of me wants to finish Family Appreciation Day, while another says there isn't much for Comet to do. The same goes with The Last Roundup. The conflict is too easy for him to resolve and there's no payoff. The next episode I can see him helping is the Super Speedy Cider Squeeze

Where've been part 2

If it seems that I've been taking forever it's because I have. As I said in my last blog I was trying to make some changes in my life. Some are going okay, others not so okay. I failed my road test due to a simple mistake caused by a migraine. So now I have to take online courses and practice for 24 hours. Plus I'm trying out some new medication to help my migraines. It helps somewhat, but I have

Bad News. · 11:26pm May 9th

Today I received some bad news. Apparently my Grandfather who was admitted to the hospital on Monday has been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease. He's a diabetic who's been dealing with obesity as long as I've known him. On Monday, he was admitted to the hospital where they found that his blood sugar level was over 500. For context, 300 is an emergency. He's going to be 87 this year. The last time I dealt with the loss of a family member was in 2010 when my maternal Grandmother passed. She lived in the UK so neither me nor my Father went to pay our respects. Really I haven't dealt personally with a death in the family that wasn't a pet since I was 8 when my Great Grandmother passed away in 1998. It's an unfamiliar feeling to me.

My Grandfather has always been a light in my life. I remember flying up to Ohio for Christmases as a kid. I remember my Grandparents flying down to babysit us when my parents needed a vacation. I remember going to Putt-putt Golf and the Pizza Parlor as a kid with them. I remember him telling me bedtime stories about his childhood and the people he grew up with.

I'm not feeling sad yet. I know what is coming. Honestly I've been expecting it for some time. He's 86 and he's never been the most health conscious. However I expect the grief to hit soon when it inevitably happens. I guess I've just been blessed not to lose the people I love up till this point. But nothing lasts forever.
