| It's been a while since I've updated. Things have been so-so.
First thing, my car broke down yet again. Eight hundred dollars later, I got my battery fixed. What eneded up happening is that I needed to replace my battery terminals. Instead of making it simple, my terminals not only hook up to the battery but every single electrical thing in my car. UGH! So, I had to buy terminals with lots of cables. I got it discounted but it still costed four hundred dollars. Then, my bf and his brother tried to put them in for me, but my car has to be stubborn. To replace the terminlas, you practically take everything out and then replace it. So, got it towed and worked on. Even the mechanic was surprised at what a hassel it was. He quoted three to four hours most. About seven hours later, I got it back. That there was the remaining four hundred dollars.
Next, I joined NaNoWriMo this year. I didn't do to well. Got about 4,000 of the 50,000 words written. Not good, but I had other things happening...
Such as, my dad calls me and says that he's remarried. The next day, he tells me that my Grandma went into the hospital. Then, on Novemember 6, three days from her 96th birthday, my Grandma passed away. It was prostate cancer and luckily, she went quickly. No more than a week after finding out she had it, she was gone. She was ready to go, cause she just gave up. I don't blame her too much. She lived a long life and already outlived one of her sons.
So, Meg and me flew to Florida and went to her services. Suckshat the only time that family gets together is during a funeral. It was good to see some of my family and I met some for the first time. Like my Dad's nephew, who I believe is also his godson, who is like three days younger than him... of was it months? I dunno, but they're very close together in age. I also met my stepmother, Sitora. A very sweet woman. My dad did good, but he beter not ruin it. The two are perfect for each other.
Now, it's almost Christmas time. Still have two gifts to get, but I'm gonna do that today, I think. I definitely need to do some wrapping.
Me in the back, (left to right) Meg, Dad, Sitora, Uncle Eddie, and Aunt Mary. [Yes, that's my dad's brother. I think there's a twenty something year difference between them.]
RIP Grandma
