Just a general update:
E-mail Address: Just to let you know, the old @usa.net email address that I have been using for about 8 years now will cease to work in early July. I don’t want to post my new address here (I don’t want to encourage the spammers), but if you know me, just ask and I’ll be happy to give you my new address! Also, it’s listed on my facebook account, and you can always contact me via the “Contact” page here on this website.
If those options still aren’t working, leave a comment on this post and I will make sure to get it to you. 
(HINT: it’s gmail).
Website: Although my website has always been primarily a blog, the past few days I have been doing a tiny bit of work on the other pages on my site. There is still a lot to be done, but take a look around! Click on some of those links at the top, like “About” and “Media Production.”
Hopefully I’ll do some more work there sooner rather than later. Especially the Stadium section.
Nana: My grandmom has now been home from rehab for over a week.
At the risk of sounding melodramatic, this has probably been one of the most trying weeks of my life. And yes, I do realize how lucky I am if this is about the worst I’ve seen. But this is about the worst I’ve seen.
My grandmom just seems dazed, shell-shocked, and defeated. Not to mention depressed and confused. Today was a little better, but even now, she is barely eating and she doesn’t even sound like herself. She gets so emotional so easy; I don’t know what to do.
She calls me into her room dozens of times while she is still in bed to make sure she’s “doing everything right.” But there’s nothing to do; she’s just laying in bed.
She isn’t capable to doing all that much, but she is still capable of doing a hell of a lot more than she thinks she is. She just seems to have no confidence in herself.
As she seems dazed, I really don’t feel comfortable now leaving her alone anymore (I used to leave her for an hour a night so I could go running, and that was fine. Now, I miss running.).
Hopefully she snaps out of this. Thinking back to when I first moved in, I think she was similiar to this. So hopefully she is just temporarily disoriented by all of the action she has seen this month. Hopefully. My biggest worry at the moment is that she’ll carry on like this for years. Ugh.
But like I said, she seemed better this afternoon, so maybe she has turned the corner.
