Quote - I, too, am taking a little break.
Our family just had the loss of my sister-in-law and still shell shocked from it.

The hospital watch and funeral has taken a lot out of me.

I'll get back to stuff in a few days.

There are three major inconveniences to life as we ALL know it.

1. Old age.
2. Illness
3. Death irregardless of how it comes about.

My dad passed last month and I have not even really had time to grieve. Had to take a month off my part time job to take care of all the documentation our blessed government and all the services we use in life and learn to take for granted, required be adjusted.
Now my mom on top of all that shock of his passing has been diagnosed with a weird Mesothelioma which as her primary care provider I have to scramble to get my arms around. I am exhausted mentally and physically but she needs my strength so we keep going. Too tired and depressed to even consider myself my needs or my pathetic attempts at art....for now.

I sympathize with your pain.
