I don’t feel very good. Not so hot, as they say.

Sure, there are a few normal bits, a bit of a headache, a bit tired, and some of it’s probably to do with my irregular sleeping these last few days, perhaps a bit of dehydration, perhaps even related to my grandfather’s injury (though I doubt that; I don’t seem to actually feel much about anyone getting injured, sick, or dying)…

And I suppose that the bigger chunks of my bad feeling are all pretty normal for me by now, too; the thoughts of suicide I so naturally cast aside as pointless, the crushing, drowning waves of depression and occasionally anxiety, the feelings of aloneness and separation with regards to romantic relationships and my seemingly insurmountable failures therein, along with the feelings of oppression and suppression that having my family around (my grandfather & my sister and her family mostly, but dad and Heath and Angela sometimes too) seems to generate…

But which should also be earlier than grandfather will be ready to leave hospital. So, there’s an update.

So, my father and grandfather were on a road trip up around Utah, and I’m pretty sure they were only two or three days out (they had said they were leaving Pine late due to weather, but didn’t check in with me before they did finally go) and I just got a call that grandpa fell and broke his hip. Dad called from a hospital in Moab, and I guess they’ll be in Phoenix this afternoon.

Silly cancer, eating his bones and ruining his vacation.
