Major Life Changes
Blarg. I feel like I need to make an official blog post - the rambling kind that I tend to do. There are a great many things that have been happening lately that I want to talk about them all, but first I must work out the logistics of doing this.
But, I can give some nitty gritty details, so people are aware of what's going on with me in general.
My brother in law passed away on September 27th. He left behind three very wonderful children that my husband and I are now caring for. There's been lots of change, and adjustment, for everyone. They've had to move schools, we've had to make room for them in our very tiny house. We've been having some growing pains, as my husband, the children and I all try to figure out how we fit together as a family, but so far they've been pretty minor.
Because of this, my online presence has dropped next to nothing. That doesn't mean I'm not around, and won't be around. I still check in with all the places that where I have some commitments. It just means that my check ins are more brief as I try to find a way to balance everything to meet the needs of the kids vs my online commitments. It may take a few more weeks yet, before I find that balance. Please be patient. Especially those folks on Firan who were not aware of my situation and are now reading this.
We have been surrounded by an overwhelming number of people who have offered their support and help, and for that we're both very grateful. In time, we'll likely take people up on their offers. In the meantime, we're working through the adjustments slowly and steadily, tackling one thing at a time.
And, that's the short and the sweet of it for now.
