Woah, I am still alive. Imagine that, huh? *shrugs* It has been a strange year so far. I was up, for a little over a month, in Kirkland to take care of my Grandmother. For the past year she has been losing weight, growing despondant and generally giving up on this whole life thing. She had lost nearly 60 lbs. (She's 6'9" and weighed in at about 160 for the past few years.) -- brought to my attention by Jessica I meant to say gram s 5'9" NOT 6'9". Sorry bout the typo. --

In mid-January she caused an auto wreck where she did about 5K worth of damage to her car, rendering it impossible to drive. She slipped into a deep depression and was basically waiting to die. Hell, her last report from the doctor had her diagnosed with some rare form of cancer of the eyes. *shrugs*

Anyway, I went up there and stayed with her for a while. Over the past month, I prayed over her, talked to her and basically was a companion. From about valentine's day she actually started getting out of bed every day. She ate more often and started eating more food when she chose to dine.

As it sits now, she's acting like she did five years ago. She's bright and aware, lucid and cranky as sin. That means she's healthy. (For as long as I can remember, she's been an extremely cranky person.)

So, she's much better and I'm back home here at the beach. *big sigh of relief* I'll be going back up there for ocassional visits, but for the time being, I'm home and loving it. I'll love it more as soon as I kick this cold.

Anyway, that's what's been keeping me busy for the last five or six weeks. -- Oh, and as of the last Doc's visit, no trace of cancer can be found. The docs think they made a mistake. Heh.

I know they say you should be specific in your search, but there is such a thing as overkill.

Well, it's a short one today, but after going through all of the entries, I couldn't find anything else that prompted even a lame comment. Maybe I'll post an addendum tomorrow. Peace unto thy hearts.
