Okay, so I need to update people on what's been going on in my life. I'll keep this brief.

First, I wasn't able to get the registration for AC that I wanted. In retrospect, that's small cookies, but I couldn't have known that at the time. My sentiments and statements still hold true - it's the one vacation I get a year and not being able to make the most of it is still a swift kick in the teeth.

Shortly thereafter, the US presidential election happened. And that really sent me into an emotional tailspin and I'm still having occasional panic attacks over what's going to be happening. My fears have only grown since then - that motherfucker apparently is talking about annexing parts of Mexico, Canada, and fucking Greenland.

Then my best friend's uncle died. Then a few days later, his father was hospitalized, neglected and abused by the hospital, discharged illegally, then died.

Then my father died.

And my stepmother may be trying to lock me out of any inheritance because my dad didn't make a will.

So it's been very rough, emotionally, for me lately. Some days I'm more level-headed than others, but I'm still processing a lot right now. I have a lot of support from my coworkers, family, and friends in the area. I'm...not okay honestly. But I know I *will* be okay eventually, if that makes sense.
