Not-so-lovely pre-start

ACen's this weekend, and I'm heading over to a friend's house tonight with MagicalZombie to create our weekend encampment. To those of you already aware of my existence: My cell number hasn't changed, I plan to be there for all three days, I'm going as the 11th Doctor ("Space Florida" get up planned but regular wear in case of weather), and no we're at a hotel.

But things don't always go well...

Two things going on in my family. First, one of my mom's many cousins just died. He was the younger brother of a cousin I actually do know (and like), but I never met him to my knowledge. My mom wasn't upset, just, you know, it's family. He apparently was an alcoholic and, well, his liver gave out on him. Mom's waiting on funeral arrangements, which could happen this weekend, but I'm not obligated to go.

Second is my grandma, my dad's mother. She...apparently is reaching her end. Bee put into hospice and just being made comfortable. I remember that my dad was called Tuesday night and he talked to her, but it was an odd conversation. Her coherency and memory are shot, and they have been going for a while.

I'm just...sad. My dad already lost his father about seven years ago, and ever since, Grandma hasn't been the same. I'm not sure how to feel about this, and I was never close to either set of grandparents due to distance. But still, they were relatives I actually knew, which can't be said for many of them in my family.

...Have to end this post. Not quite sure I can figure out many more words than that.
