Sorry for my absence from the forums, folks, but here's what's been going on.
1) Been dealing with lots of changes around my house. My younger nephew started kindergarten back in August and my niece has been dealing with considerable separation anxiety without him. She is CONSTANTLY in my face demanding my attention. She'll start kindergarten this coming August (she and my younger nephew are 14 months apart in age), so by then, I should have a lot more time.
2) Also have been dealing with illnesses running rampant in the house over the past few months. I was rather sick at one point but there was one point where my niece in particular was vomiting at least once an hour, so my hands were tied.
3) My grandmother was the biggest deal. She had dementia and high blood pressure. Dealing with her was a near round-the-clock affair when she was awake. Much as I loved her, she was also starting to cause near-total chaos here at home and made it hard for me to get time to relax. Not a good time to do research and write when you are playing nursemaid almost every 5 seconds. Sadly, my grandmother passed away this past weekend after developing pneumonia from a respiratory illness that hit the whole household. On Thursday, she showed signs of apparent trouble breathing and thinking when we took her to a local clinic where she was diagnosed with severe pneumonia and subsequesntly takent to the local hospital. She appeared to be improving by Saturday but then suddenly tanked that night and suddenly died of apparent heart failure while nurses and a doctor were attending to her. Her heart could not take any more. Final arrangements are still being made and she is dearly missed. Still, I am glad that her suffering is finally over.
Sooner or later (by late August, for sure), I should have more time to devote to my works on Candlekeep. Please be patient while I try to put all the pieces back together. |

Indeed, family and real life come first. Attend to you and yours before worrying about us!
My condolences on your loss. It's been quite a long time since I lost my grandma, and I still miss her. |
