I really hope this isn't a trend.....
The fates are cruel, When it rains it pours, Bad things come in threes, hindsight is 20/20, and even routine surgery isn't routine...
I know I don't post much on here anymore, but I do try and keep up the best I can.
Life has taken some turns in the past year or so... Some good... Some not so...
When my father's father passed away this winter it was hard, but not devistating. We had been expecting it. Hell, the doctors gave him one to two weeks to live back in 2005 or so... Goes to show you just how stubborn Ewanyks can be...
Last week when we had to put Akela down it was hard. But, again, it wasn't a total surprise. When one of your pets starts suffering convulsions you can be pretty sure you're not going to be able to maintain their standard of living. So, I took a deep breath, helped Dad dig a hole on the hill, and worked through it.
Last night my Mom's father; the source of 'The Grandpa Stories', the infamous "But, Bob', and the first person I met who had not only lived through everything included in Billy Joel's 'We Didn't Start the Fire', but could remember everything mentioned in the song...Grandpa Bob passed away as a result of complications from surgery.
My sister's frantic (she and my nephews are up visiting), Mom is falling apart, Hell even Dad (who can generally disassociate better than I do) is on edge....
I'm still in one piece...for now...
This couldn't have happened at a worse time.
Three time-sensative projects going at once, and though my customers would probably be understanding, if I push any on them off I'll never be able to catch up once classes restart in a little over a week...
I'll have to sit down ant actually record the Grandpa Stories before I forget anyhting...
Yea... I'm no longer thinking linear...
Probably even less linear than normal...
Crap.
