Say it loud!

The weather's ridiculous but be careful out there anyway! While I try to cram in fresh ideas for my art and try not to get frozen on the way to my car every morning, I can't help thinking about my family at this time.

We had the wettest November for years because of the floods and my step-brother is still pressing through tough times since he and his family lost the house in Cockermouth. They've took up a hotel room fortunately and can only return back home as long as the cleanup in Cockermouth is finished. Like, in months. :(

My step-dad is having his next heart operation over the weekend and he could be kept in the hospital between the next 1 to 2 weeks. He may certainly be back by Christmas Day but at the minute, he really isn't feeling well at all. At first, he found it weird to stay at home all this time since mid-October after holding his GP work in over 45 years, but now the tension seems to show in the state of his health. That means he'll retire from work right after the new year.

Then again, he's been taking it all in quite well. Being an enduring man, he's already talking about hitting the gym after Christmas time and the only thing that bothers him about the next hospital visit is how long he will be kept there, proving he hasn't lost his sense of humour throughout the experience after the heart attack.

All I could hope for him is a quick recovery after the op. And since it's December, I will make this clear and simple: I lost two members of my family at this time of year from sudden illnesses left, right and centre. It should stay that way, only if my step-dad is allowed to get tickin' again, just like the way he was before October. Then we can end the year happy for a change.





So you thought my October was bad, December is just f*cking rotten. :(

Ah man, does that mean your step brother is gonna have to pay a fortune in hote room bills? That sucks...

I hope Don gets a successful operation and is feeling well at Christmas. Surely you won't have a third rotten and death-filled Christmas...^^;

Finally, do you wanna come round and see me again at the weekend?

Nah, he won't have to pay up since the hotel itself is accommodating families for free to help in the cause, at least. They will be more concerned about where they can find a laundrette for their clothes (or they're always welcome to use our parents' house for the washing).

Ryo is busy this week so yeah, I'll come over on Saturday again!
