Greetings all.

Hope everything is going well for everyone, as we head deeper into the Fall season. The yard is pretty much covered in pine needles, and leaves, as the trees around the area have started changing color.

And speaking of changes, I have quite a bit of news to share.

I'll start off with the bad news first, seeing as how this has me scratching my head.

This past Saturday, my brother was home alone, with only the dog at his side. Then, later on in the day, there was a knock at his door. It was an HOA agent, along with two local law enforcement officers. After a round of questions, my brother was ordered to leave the premises due to an ongoing investigation that was brought against him. This has pushed my brother to live out of his truck for the time being, parked out in my back yard while continuing to commute to work and back. At the same time, another family member then turned around, and told the HOA that my brother had since moved out. This of course means my brother is now homeless, regardless of the outcome from the investigation. The only details that I know, is someone in that area did not like my brother living there, and filed enough complaints that action was taken. He is currently talking with a few people he knows, to secure a temporary residence, until things settle back down. I'm doing all I can now to help not only my grandmother, but now my brother as well.

As for my home, my grandmother's mental state of being continues to diminish from anxiety, and depression. She is more tired during the day, not wanting to do much other than play a game of cards and read books. Otherwise, she sleeps most of the day away, and wonders why she can't sleep well at night. I've started getting her into the habit of sorting her medication in a container that keeps daily doses for the entire week. This way, she'll better remember if she took her medication depending on what day it is.

As for the house, there is help offered to have the furnace replaced free of charge before Winter's arrival, and most of the utilities paid for by an organization. We've also been approved for assistance with food, which will definitely be of great support for us, given the hard times we are presented with.

The only other good news I have to offer at this moment, is I will be attending Furpocalypse this year with a friend of mine. This will help me to relax, and offer a bit of a vacation to hang out with friends whom I have not seen in some time, as well as make new ones, all while exploring, and enjoying the convention's new venue.

So with all that being said, I will continue to keep you informed, and hope to have some pics up on FA in the coming weeks.

That's about it for now.

Take care all.
