Long Winded Update
2 years ago
General
Hey everybody, it’s been a while.
Sorry for not updating more but just haven’t felt the energy to do so for a while due to multiple reasons… along with the fact no individual “Thing” felt worthy of posting an update on… buuuut pile them up and you eventually get a crushing force that squashes me flat if I may poorly misuse and analogy.
One big issue right now is our internet is going back on the fritz (via the form of infuriating amounts of slowdown and lag) without any obvious reason why (we’ve check the normal reasons as much as we can to no results) to the point that it’s virtually unusable for long and random portions of the day. The fact I can’t really feel confident leaving dad alone for long periods as of late hasn’t helped either since it means I can’t just run to a place with free wi-fi to use it there without any number of issues cropping up.
Next, and if you’re in certain parts of America you probably already know about this, is that the heat is killing… well… just killing. Plants, people, roads, wills to live… having to spend most of the days with a fan on me as as many lights out as possible in the house and I’m still getting sick from the heat. Times when I have to run out in it to do work or because dad demands something and won’t be talked out of it just being worse.
These two things have essentially combined together to insure any ability to produce postable art or writing I might have had is just… dead. Hope when something changes (for the better I’m praying) this’ll change to but at the moment I sit down to try and get any of the stuff I want to do done and… nothing happens. For people hoping for more work from me I am sincerely sorry for this.
Anyway onto more topical things… as of last week dad has a horrible toothache in one of his teeth he KNOWS is bad so his decision was to call the dentist to set up an appointment to get it looked a-HA! Nope. He decided he’d refuse to do this and try to self medicate with old pain killers from when he’d had his kidney stones for… reasons. Just reasons. He wouldn’t get the dentist to look at it to see if it was gonna have to be pulled, he wouldn’t call his doctor to find out how long he needed to be off his medicines before it could be pulled, and he wouldn’t do ANYTHING because he hurt too bad to focus and he was sure the old medicine for something completely different would fix it when it wouldn’t…
He finally gave up on that, very very begrudgingly (he’s still trying to mess with his medicines cause “I know wha I’m doin DON’T FUSS AT ME” to quote him if we don’t watch him) and we’ve gotten the needed double checks to bring in in Wednesday for the extraction so hopefully that’ll go well. The big issue is we have a show this weekend and as usual dad’s police is “I do EVERYTHING minor and unimportant first cause I like that stuff better and then leave all the stuff that is hard but VITAL to the show for the end because I don’t want to do that and I assume I’ll have plenty of time and nothing will go wrong”… well things have gone wrong and he’s now entered in the “Blame everybody else for me not doing what I was supposed to do sooner” stage… with me being his favorite person to shift blame to. For the record? If I tell him to do something his reaction usually amounts to “I’m going to wait longer to do it now just cause you fussed at me” so I’ve given up on that for the most part… it’s all his own damn fault and he doesn’t like it when I let him know one bit.
Anyway this slightly more heated than intended rant is better cut short than let run on so gonna call it here. The short of it is the rest of this week is going to be heck and for the foreseeable future my ability to get online dependably will be sporadic and slow at best. I am sorry.
Thanks for reading, hope all of you have good days, and take care.

I know it's harsh but he seems quite determined to screw up everything he gets near.
Might be best to let him be with you and your mom at a safe distance so he can ruin his life and not drag you down with him.
I just don't want you and your mom to get dragged down with him if he does something really dangerous. It does seem like he's risking his life mixing his medication hoping for a quick cure.
