So. I may have mentioned that my grandmother died earlier this year. My grandfather, in response, moved back to portugal, about two weeks ago
Up until a week before, he was convinced he was going to sell his house, but at the last minute he decided to give it to my mother. he also hadn't touched anything, because he'd been way too emotionally messed up to deal with going through any of his and my grandmother's shared belongings. He'd been in major denial that she was as bad as she was right up until the day she died, so I don't really blame him for being in a bad place.
Anyway, what that means is that the job of cleaning up his house and getting rid of stuff fell to me and my mom. The fact that he gave the house to her super-last-minute also means mom is moving in, which means i have to get my stored stuff out of her house and help clean that too.
That's an ongoing project, but they live an hour away from me, so it's a time consuming one that's going much much slower then *I'D* prefer, and it also means that-- thanks to the major influx of stored stuff and stuff my grandparents gave me-- I need to massively redo my apartment. I haven't been online because my computer's been hidden behind a pile of boxes that i have only just now navigated to access it; it's a pain in the bum to get to it.
I had been hoping that the reorganization of MY place would only take a week, but clearly that hasn't happened. It doesn't help that I started up a skyrim game, since my computer's been inaccessible, which doesn't help the time thing, lol.
To compound issues, my laptop is being used by my fiance since his 6 year old computer finally kicked the bucket. :C so I'm limited to my desktop, which is buried.
ANYWAY TL;DR I will be back eventually, i'm not gone for good. I'm starting to get wicked-bad computer cravings, which will hopefully motivate me to move this box-fort into the storage room here ASAP.
Lucidity-- if you could shoot me your email via pm, then i can send you the whole bunch of minis i promised you and still intend to do. <3 as i do them.
