Not Away, But...

[Deleted]

Hey, guys. I just wanted to let you know I've had some RL stuff going on the past few weeks. I don't think I've done an actual post anywhere in at least 2 weeks (probably longer). I was hoping things would level out and I'd be able to jump back into things, but it's looking like that's not the case, so I just wanted to make you all aware of what's going on. There's a combination of things happening, a few of which are ongoing and are going to sort of be constantly in the background of my life for a bit. Then some things just flare up some weeks and completely pull me away from things. I'll start with the constants.

For those of you who don't know me very well yet, I'm kind of an anxious person. It's not something that's usually a problem, as far as it doesn't normally hinder how I function. But, it's always there, and in certain atmospheres it gets worse. My job is an atmosphere that makes me very anxious all the time, and I have some bad weeks where my anxiety flares up and hinders my sleep, which hinders everything else (my focus, my concentration, etc.). So that's one thing that's kind of always going to be kicking in until things change at work, or I get a new job.

I have an aunt who's very sick, and has been sick for a very long time. However, she's gotten to the point where she can no longer function and she's in and out of the hospital quite a bit. She's in need of an organ transplant, and we were hoping that process would start last week. However, some things have hindered her progress and it looks like this is going to be dragging on for several months, if she makes it that long. This is obviously a very unfortunate and upsetting situation. My aunt needs a lot of care, so we're all trying to help out.

Those two things are going to be constantly going on in the background of my life for a bit. Kind of like Lucifer was looming over Sam and Dean for a while as they were going about their other daily business. So there will be some weeks where I may not even come on instant messenger all that often, let alone come around my RP sites.

In addition to that, life seems to love throwing wrenches into things at every turn. It seems like every time I turn around there's some new bullshit I have to navigate around. So, life's just not making it easy for me at the moment and it's going to get worse before it gets better. I'll do my best to post when I can, but I can't guarantee I'll be very active for a while. It's just crappy timing, unfortunately.

Sorry for writing a novella here. I just wanted to explain what's happening to everybody. I don't intend to disappear entirely, but I do know my activity's going to be pretty dismal for a while. I apologize in advance for that. I will try to log in every day at least to do some admin stuff and check my PM's. The best way to reach me, other than my IM's when I'm on, would be to PM my Dean account (username: jerk), as I'll be checking those pretty regularly. You can find my IM screennames in any of my applications.

I know we don't know each other or anything, but I've been through some similar things in the past and if you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to PM me. Sometimes it helps just having someone listen.

I hope things get better soon, really.
