Hello fuzzies,

Forgive me if I don't seem my usual, cheery self ... the last two & a half months have tested my patience & my emotional state. It all started when my grandma on my dad's side passed away last month. It hurt. 50% of grandparents have passed away now, including my grandmother on my dad's side a few years ago. After that, my workplace cut my hours back by almost half. I was frustrated. I've been stepping up my web design business to compensate.

Luckily, web design is something I truly enjoy. Afterwards though, my grandfather on my mom's side fell. He was taken to the hospital as a safety precaution. No bones broken. No health difficulties... Until now. I woke up this morning with my mum in tears. She told me that they discovered grandpa has advanced stomach cancer & there's nothing they can do to stop it. All they can do is make him comfortable with the time he has left.

This has officially been the worst winter on record in terms of emotion & financial situation. Figures it would be a good one weather wise that all this happened on... As you can I'm frustrated & feel a little broken. Torn if you will. The core of my being is still quite intact. I'm okay in terms of how this affects me. I've got my parents, my sister, my relatives & you guys. As long as I have those, I should be fine. Send a hug if you can though. I could totally use them :3 .

Don't let my life issues bother you guys. Remember that I'm solid at my foundation & that crap like this only lasts so long. Soon Spring will be here & I'll be gearing up for Calgary Comic Expo & a trip to Vegas the month after :3 .

Have a good rest of the week!
Geoff "The Incredible G" B.
