and so on

Dreary Monday, grey with that annoying drizzlemist sort of rain. Really in a didn't-want-to-come-in mood--woke with a sore throat that I pondered using as an excuse to stay home, but it faded by the time I was showering. So here I be. Long day, too--have to pick up vet supplies, get my allergy shot done since I forgot last week, and do grocery shopping (which I put off yesterday to avoid the Superbowl food crowds and because I was lazy). Then tomorrow it's the dentist. Whee.

Can see I'm in one of my moods. Even game stuff kinda gets me off and down, especially after some blah Zul'Aman stuff recently, and kinda half-cruddy stuff last night (how can we get Void Reaver down and not Mags? And got outbid on the shoulders I wanted, and of course no stuff can drop from a boss you fail on :/ )

And stuff with my one aunt is a lot worse than I expected. I really hadn't realized it was that bad, when Mom was first referring to her as 'unresponsive' and in ICU, until she used the word coma. I guess it was an infection that went septicemic, and her blood pressure was bottoming out, plus the potential strokes I mentioned before. I guess now she's unresponsive again. EEG (or was it EKG) are not good, and her liver's failing (in addition to fairly uncontrolled diabetes, she had hepatitis from a bad transfusion in the 80s). So I guess her ex and my cousins may have to be making that decision soon, since her wishes were for no unnecessary measures. Going to talk to Mom when she phones tonight, as she's all but planning to have to fly back for my aunt's funeral soon. And btw, thanks for the thoughts, Sharon. *hugs* Sorry to not have commented back sooner.

Must admit, it's another extended family member I'm not close to, but our families were a lot closer when I was a kid. We were always being babysat by that one aunt more than the others, or by her two eldest--and her youngest and I were the same age, so we did sleepovers and such a lot (I imagine we'd still be on close friend terms, but that cousin had a baby in her early teens, which kinda freaked me out a bit and I kinda went distant). Just weird how things turn out.

No wonder you're feeling down. That's a lot to be dealing with at the beginning of the week, especially when the weather is pretty miserable. I'm sorry you have to cope with so much.

I'm really sorry to hear about your aunt. I am not very close to most of my extended family, so I sympathize; it's awkward in the best situations. Take care, sweetie and if you need to vent, drop me a line.

*hugs*
