Life Updates
Where to begin...
I am artistically dry as far as artwork goes, I've tried sketching but very few of what I put down looks like how I want it to be. Style and the like matter little art wise, but I want my art to look a certain way and conveying that appears to be difficult at this point in time. I'll just have to wait it out or keep drawing until it comes back, it's all I can do really.
Christmas was alright, I enjoyed the Eve before the Day, I'm not a fan of going to family gatherings. They're an old generation that is soon to die out unfortunately, it's slow but picking up the pace. I have tried to spend this remaining time trying to tell them about myself and what I do. Every grandma likes to treat their grandchildren like they're still little but that's the case with most of them. A little unnerving, they're predictable in every way, but what can you do?
My memere is grandually losing her vision, and her hearing which makes it difficult to understand me in general. Animation seems to be out of the majority of my families understanding so I have to rely on my friends for that aspect. My other grandmother was just put into some sort of "respit" or "restup' home, I'm not sure. A place where people go to get away from their relatives. She had been calling up my mother and harrassing or reminding her of bad memories that bubble up from time to time. All of which confuses my mother, we have no idea what's going on with her. Also, my great aunt Mary, a nun of the catholic church has cancer all over her body, having something to do with the lymph nodes. I feel terrible for her, she looks like she's in a great deal of pain...and I wish she could remember who I was. My old cousin Beth broke her back in September, and my cousin Moe is always getting injured or maimed in some way or another. My mom is injured with a hurt foot, her vitamin D is down below the normal level. My father recently passed out and injured his head with two gashes but he is doing better now.
To make matters worse, my parent's cafe that they've been struggling to run for the past five years is closing as of the 31st and we're glad it's going. The town it's in is bad for business, all of the small businesses in the area have been going under in the past few months. My father's comic shop is doing fairly well but would do better if people had more money to spend, seeing as he's the only gaming store in the area. Money's tight for all of us, as we roll into this damned recession and begin to accept change. No idea where this is going, hopefully it will be for the better. When we've finally fallen to our worst, the only place we can go is up.
I don't mean this to sound depressing, as much as it does sound, I am fine. Hope you are all well.
