Too much going on.
Feb. 9th, 2014 12:30 pm-My grandpa had a stroke on Friday, has some pneumonia in both lungs, and is in the hospital these days. There isn't much more to say about things, but I may wind up going up to Seattle twice this spring (for that and for my BFF's wedding). He has been saying he's ready to die for a number of years now. I think we all just want to make sure he's comfortable and surrounded by loved ones, and I'm just glad every time that I have a chance to visit with him.
-One of my aunts (dad's sister) passed away from ovarian cancer last night. He has a large family (11 brothers and sisters), which has meant I haven't gotten to know everyone as well as I might like, but my aunt P stands out among all of them as a loving soul. I'm grateful that she has been surrounded by loved ones over the past two months as her health has declined rapidly. But even when you know the end is coming, it's not easy to come to terms with feelings about the world moving on.
-It's a minor thing in comparison, but my laptop may have just died as well. Hard to tell just yet. I'm relieved that I backed up everything this past Thursday, but I'm not looking forward to having to get things up and running on a replacement machine. And this also means limited internet access for a while. It's making me think I should get a fairly cheap desktop Linux machine up and running at home, just for the hell of it. I'm also so very, very relieved to NOT be in the financial situation I was in the last time I had to replace a laptop (the one that was burgled). It took me 6 months to save up for a replacement at that time.
So, I probably won't be on the internet much for the next couple of days.
