A few things have been happening as of late and I wanted to communicate to you all in case you were wondering where I have been. (read the first sentence of each section for a rough/quick explanation. Keep reading the paragraph for more info)

1)Cousin gave birth with mild complications.
She had her baby (a little girl) but had trouble giving birth. She was given meds to help with labor/dilation but it wasn't working. Over 30+ hours later she was forced to have a c-section.

2) Cousin was admitted to the hospital after birth.
Shortly after she got home she was back in the hospital with Postpartum Preeclampsia. She was in the ICU for a few days and then moved to labor and delivery for a few more days. Shes now home with high blood pressure meds but its been a really scary time.

3) Basement flooded and destroyed stuff.
We had a storm awhile ago and unknown to us our basement flooded. We had no idea until a few days later when we went down to do laundry and was met with a few inches on water. All of my stuff that was in cardboard boxes was sitting in dirty water for days and is now ruined. We had to call a plumber because no matter what we tried we couldn't fix the issue. We've have been having money troubles for awhile now due to unexpected expenses/emergencies and this just added to the issue.

4) Dog may be sick/having problems.
One if my dogs is having symptoms of diabetes and I'm rather scared for her. We can't afford a vet visit just yet and that's adding to my stress levels.

5) Mother is sick and needs surgery.
Ever since she was diagnosed with an aggressive bladder cancer its been nothing but a battle. She had surgery to remove her bladder which got rid of the cancer but shes had complications after complications. During one of her many surgeries she contracted a very aggressive and hard to get rid of infection. Shes been battling it for over a year. We thought she had finally won her battle but my father contacted me today to let me know shes not doing well and its back. They want to go back in to clean it out and leave her with another bag attached to her side. My mother has other issues like diabetes and lupus which make surgery even more complicated.

6)Mentally not well.
Because of everything going on (one after another) my anxiety/depression and stress disorders are being triggered on another level. Ive been trying to make an appointment with my psychologist for awhile now but they haven't returned my calls. I'm out of my ADHD pills and running low on my other meds.

Edit-Tax update. We did our taxes and ended up owing double the amount we were expecting/prepared for. We obviously don’t have that. So let me just crawl into a hole and hide for awhile….

I'm a mess so please excuse me for the lack of art/interactions.
