So here I was all psyched up to write today and actually do something with my account. Cuz, you know, almost a year ago I promised updates to my superheroes and the world they are in, and yet nothing really came because I was working a new job and that job turned out to take a lot more from me than I thought. Not "I need to quit" levels exhausting, at least not all the time, but it's full time work and keeps me busy and tired.

So I'm all ready to go, took a shower when I got home, feeling clean and ready.

Mom called.

My dad's younger brother was found dead this morning.

I just... did not expect that. I mean, you can never expect those kinds of calls, but... Damn. Sidelined me.

Not really sure what I'm going to do with my day. Just... process this I guess? I mean I haven't spoken to my uncle in years, but I still cared for him. He's my family, and he never wronged me, so I cared about him. I want to try and still make something happen today. I've been lazing about on my days off and I still have that creative itch, but...

Damn. Just damn. Was not ready.
