My dad was discharged from the hospital yesterday to a hospice facility in Green Bay. We're at the point of just trying to keep him comfortable. He took a turn for the worse after the trip to Green Bay. Maybe he'll snap back from that, but he's not eating much and we decided against having a feeding tube implanted in his abdomen, so there's not much time left.
Also, Monica and I broke up on Tuesday. Yeah, bad timing but things were not going well for a while and we were both kind of putting off the Discussion. It's been hard--she was my first serious relationship, the first woman I've dated that I thought I could spend the rest of my life with.
Damn, tommyrot, that's a lot to deal with all at once. I'm sorry it's piled on like this.
If it helps brighten your day at all, I was really glad to see you when you were in Cincy.

Thanks. It was nice to see you guys too. Plus all the Buffista support lately has meant a lot to me.
I'm sorry, tommyrot. That's a lot of hard stuff to carry at once.
I'm so sorry, tommy. Sometimes life stress multiplies like that.
The last few weeks I've been reading a lot of apocalypse fiction, which has oddly helped me feel better. I can tell myself, "Well, at least it's not the apocalypse..."
Seriously, this anthology is great:
Amazon.com: The End is Nigh (The Apocalypse Triptych Book 1) eBook: John Joseph Adams, Hugh Howey, Jamie Ford, Paolo Bacigalupi, Seanan McGuire, Sarah Langan, Nancy Kress, Jonathan Maberry, Tananarive Due, Scott Sigler: Books
And that lead me to Hugh Howey's awesome Wool Trilogy books:
Amazon.com: Wool Omnibus Edition (Wool 1 - 5) (Silo Saga) eBook: Hugh Howey: Books
Oof, tommy, that's a lot. Best wishes to you all.
I love that series, tommy. Hope the distraction is helpful.
