time to fill you in…

…i guess…

i inadvertantly disappeared last week after those entries, um, i guess i can tell you why, now that i have a minute to myself.

2 weekends ago several things happened all at once.  the apartment my friend and i were looking at became ours, but the rental people wouldn’t let us move the date back a week so i had to fill out the papers and pay ever penny i had to get this apartment (of which i’ve spend MAYBE 2-4 nights in since we got it). 

second thing… i don’t know if i had told you all, but my grandfather lives with us here at my parent’s house and has for the last year.  he has his own little apartment (mother-in-law style) downstairs.

well, about a month and a half ago he was taken to the hospital for an infection (again).  however this time they found cancer, not only that but he had an absess between his colon and his bladder so it was almost impossible to actually cure the infection.  so they finally get him stablized about 4 weeks ago and they move him into a rehab place (more or less an old folks home). 

however things didn’t get better.  he made it very clear he did not want to treat this affliction further and wanted it to run its course.  of course the whole family agreed with his wishes. 

so at approx 10:10pm on Tuesday, June 7th my grandfather, Ramsey Worman, past away in his sleep.

that same week i had to move into my apartment, find a new job (so i could pay for the apartment) and try and unpack my belongings while getting back and forth between my parent’s house to be with the family and my new home to sleep.

needless to say the past week and a half have been very difficult.  i’m okay, and the family is doing moderately well.  not sure what else to say about it.

it might be a few days before i write again…  and weeks after that before i get into any kind of normal swing of things.  i know i’ve said this before but i really do appreciate you all, even if you don’t note, for reading and allowing me to vent and attempt to be semi-sane.

i hope that this entry finds you all in good health and at good places in your life.

– noah

p.s. don’t worry about sympathy notes or anything…  i know how wonderful you all are.
