First off on the 4th of July my grandmother fell very ill. The following week she was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Upon finding this out we, the family, discovered she had no life insurance. It had been mismanaged by other members of the family. Long story short, by the end of July, my grandmother passed away peacefully at my parents house. Deborah didn't get to see 100 like she'd hoped but she did outlive all of her generation of our family... As she said "92 isn't that bad."
I'll miss her wisdom.
Soon after that, my computer blew a motherboard. Seeing as it was a last generation "PowerPC Macintosh G5" there was no way I was getting that replaced. So, I'm blogging from a new computer!
In October, 3 days before my birthday, I lost my bestest of bestest friends of 14 years, Heidelberg, to old age. A dog is truly a boy's best friend. She was the inspiration of a few of my drawings and paintings. I'm gonna miss my feisty "Girly-Girl".
I guarantee you, a shelter or rescued dog is the best dog you will ever have... Period!
Finally, I had a breakup with my girlfriend... Not once... But twice! The first time, just before my grandmother fell ill and, after getting back together in December, again this week.
So, as I'm lifting myself back up and dusting off... I can get back to my planned projects!
2013 is gonna be kick@$$!
