Another post I don't like doing, but the hiatus will continue for at least another three weeks. Due to the loss of key employees at my job going into the Season, I'm doing overtime every single week, like or no and it's giving Anissa and me very little time to do more than sleep and work. We also need to be looking into a move soon, as we won't be ( Read more... )

No one is going to be thrilled with this announcement, but I feel it's necessary after a discussion that was had earlier this evening. Neither of us think that our work is up to par since Tom's passing and we also have family coming in two weeks to have a kind of memorial service, so we're going to do ourselves and you guys a favor and take the ( Read more... )

So, yeah. No update this week. All of the events of this week just have done nothing for inspiration. It's been a mess. Not enough sleep, not eating enough in either of our cases, a lot of time just wandering around on auto-pilot. Neither of us has been horribly talkative to anyone but each other. Not a really good environment for the happy scenes ( Read more... )

Popping in between the bouts of craziness to cross-post from Anissa, since a lot of you will see it via my LJ. This is her side of things, which she wrote while I was sleeping last night. She actually explains the situation five-days-out better than I could.

((Warning, medical stuff, family member death, and discussion of loss and grief under the ( Read more... )

It's over. At a little after 4 this afternoon, Anissa's dad, Tom, passed away. He fought the good fight until the end, always too stubborn to go, but this time it was just too much for him. He was tired. And we loved him enough to respect his wishes when he said it was time. After smack-talking and ax-fighting the Reaper so long, he was ready ( Read more... )

Hey, guys, checking in to let you know what's happening IRL over here.

In the good news column, Anissa's back is back to 100% and we're back to work on the writing. Love and Other Headaches should be to you by Saturday, although it may be a smaller chapter, and Across the Universe will resume next weekend. This is a relief because I've been ( Read more... )

In the never-ending series of breakdowns that has been life lately, my father-in-law is now back in the hospital, hot on the heels of Anissa's back being badly sprained. Only this round of FIL emergency has included head trauma from three falls in the last eighteen hours. He also isn't responding to simple instructions. I'm scared, guys, really and ( Read more... )

Sooo, the comp is still dead, I'm HUGELY behind on replies and everything in general, and I miss my friends, dammit. Especially saavikam77 and januaried. I don't even have time for phone calls lately ( Read more... )

Serious update is serious.

Well, all, we're going to miss a deadline this week, most likely. My father-in-law is going to be going in for surgery on Friday morning and Anissa and I have had a VERY full schedule at work this week. There's no telling how much time we're going to have to take off tomorrow and Friday and also potentially Saturday. ( Read more... )

I want to write up something beautiful and grand, but it hurts my heart so much that I just ( Read more... )
