(no subject)
so last time i was posted, it was to brag about getting my B.S. and i mentioned that i'd been wanting to pimp out commissions and such but didn't. things have changed a little since then and i have a better reason now to ask than just because i'm graduating.
on saturday, i received a call from my mother saying my grandfather was found gurgling in his bed instead of breathing. he had been admitted to the hospital and was in ICU. she said that he wasn't stable, but that they were able to get him breathing again and were working on his fever. she didn't want to rush me up there just yet, knowing my situation and hers, and i waited.
on sunday, around 3pm i got a second call from my mother. she was in hysterics and all i could get out of her was 'i'm sorry i didn't get you here in time' before she broke down completely. i dropped everything, threw a couple shirts into a messenger bag and went to the airport to get a ticket.
a lot happened there that i won't elaborate on, but finally, after three hours of fighting and around 300$ later, i was on a plane to BWI. once there, i got in the car and drove my mother, brother and our two dogs that we didn't have time to board to roanoke hospital in virginia.
we got in about 3.45/4am and went to his room at the hospital. he'd managed to hold on that long and i started what would be two days of bedside care on my part. i only left twice during the time i was there and i was forced to do so when i did. i ended up becoming in charge of a lot of his information and doing some medical services that they 'trained' me to do. watched his monitors, helped the nurses, managed 'shifts' between my brother and mother and my aunt and grandmother and talked softly to him and held his hands.
yesterday morning around 9am i was forced to leave. my mother couldn't stay any longer due to her own nonexistant finances and now maxed credit cards and being my ride, i had to go with her. i'm flying back to florida tonight to attempt to get my own finances under control. the plane ticket i got on the way up here was directly out of my pocket, and i was already worried about july's rent and bills.
i'm not begging for donations. i can't put much into full artwork, but my boyfriend put up something for me the other night, and i figured that i should meet his efforts as best i can. i'm financially a little fucked right now and with my grandfather's funeral likely to happen within the next week or so and require more air fare, i need whatever help i can get. i can do sketches for people for 3$. all i ask is that you understand my emotional state and not ask me to do anything strange or that would end up being overly complicated. i'll refund the money if i can't deliver. else, i'll do my best and deliver as quickly as i can.
sorry if this in any way affects how someone's day goes. as i said before, i wasn't looking forward to begging, but i've thought about it a good bit, and every little bit helps. if you'd like to help out, drop me a comment here or email me at thecelibateho@gmail.com. before you ask, that's not my paypal address, so don't just send money there thinking it is.
thanks for reading, and any possible good vibes/energy/prayers you may send.
