It's been a hell of a two weeks. For one thing, either my two weeks of holiday vacation has completely thrown off my sleep schedule, or I'm turning into a complete insomniac. Alec and I have been up all night. I didn't feel like going to sleep, and he didn't either. So we brewed some coffee and have been up since about 10 this morning.

Two weeks ago, Alec's dad had a stroke. He's since doing better, will be able to go home this week, and will be able to go back to work in a diminished capacity. Last week, my grandma got taken to the hospital after passing out at their house during the night. She had Khrons disease and they discovered a blockage that they had to do surgery for. Following the surgery, her blood pressure dropped and they put her in ICU. Sometime between last night and today, she had a heart attack and was unconscious. My grandpa chose not to put her on dialysis, and she never woke up.

We got the call about 2 or 3 this morning that she had died. My parents are flying down tomorrow and will, I suppose, be helping with the arrangements for the funeral. So I'll be flying to Louisiana sometime this week. Not sure if Alec will be able to go or not yet. He's got to talk to his professors.

Needless to say, please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers.

family, insomnia
