I am a medical nightmare. I don't really want to expand on that any further.

I hosted Thanksgiving in spite of my health. My mother was up visiting from Mexico, and my brother, his fiance, my uncle aunt & cousin, my grandma, we were all together. I just wanted to pretend things were normal for a while, you know? We were delivered a bombshell: My brother and his fiancee are having a baby in the spring. I am going to be an Aunt finally, and I am so happy about this but I'm too tired to show it.

Not many of you may have noticed my absence, but those of you who did - I'm okay, I am just living a small personal hell, and I don't have much energy for much of anything. You are thought about and loved - for now I hope that is enough.
