Depressing Life Update and an Apology
9 years ago
I am in fact still here. I'm... really sorry for the delay in- Seemingly everything. Real life has just become more and more of an uncontrollable mess.
I want to apologize to the few people still waiting on commissions from me. If I cannot get them finished I'll look into issuing out refunds, when I am able.
Immediate, relevant news out of the way, drama stuff below:
We finally got my mother moved out of her house and into my Grandparents house. Most of my mother's things are still up at her house -- so there's still a lot of work to do there, but the important bit is out of the way.
My grandparents... are not without issues of their own though. My grandfather is incredibly ill. His dementia has gotten to such a point that he has only a handful of lucid moments throughout the week. And his arms and legs have become so weak that he falls seemingly three times a day -- and is totally unable to pull himself up on anything. A large chunk of this past week, give or take a few days, has been just picking him up off of t he floor and trying to take care of him. We think - because of the issue with his arms/legs being so weak - that he suffered a stroke at some point, before the move. So we've had an ambulance pick him up this morning. I have no information on how he's doing or what's happening there.
My grandmother on the other hand is a hoarder. She has... so much garbage filling her house. REALLY EXPENSIVE GARBAGE, mind you, but still absolute garbage no one can or will use. And she keeps buying more of it on impulse. This is important because they're talking about having me move in with them to take care of grandpa full time, if this hospital visit doesn't work out.
...I really don't think I can. I can barely keep it together having to dress him, let alone do it every single day. On top of that, I'm still a mess mentally and emotionally, even without all of this piling on top of it.
I'm going to talk with my mother about it. And how I.. really don't think I can move in full time. But I doubt very seriously I'll have a choice in the matter. In a perfect world, the hospital will figure out what's wrong, and Grandpa will be back to his regular self. But I doubt that'll happen.
I can't guarantee that I'll be able to send regular updates about this. It's taking a lot just for me to send this - but I wanted to at least try and keep everyone informed. Thank you for your time.

Hang in there, and I'm crossing my fingers for you!!! Hope your granpa recovers some strenght!
If only as kids we saw what our parents were doing and we had some common sense to prevent a few things eh? Just don't lose hope.
Real life comes first!
Thank you for the comment though. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who's gone through, or is going through, stuff like this.
As for the commissions for people who are waiting on them. They probably can wait since I don't think any of the commissions is an immediate finish. Family comes first before work.
I suppose all I can say in the end is that I'm really pulling for you and hope that things work out for the better
It'll all get sorted out in time. It just takes a while.
