Hey guys, thought I would give a quick update on what's going on. I don't think a lot of people read my Journal, but I thought I would let you guys know what's been going on.

I'm not going to tell you my entire life story, but to make a long story short: My mother is very, very sick. She has been for quite some time now, but as of late its gotten much much worse.

I believe I have already told several of my friends this fact, so they already know this, but this just happened today, and as a heads up I'm posting it here first: (I know I haven't been on IM lately, but I will be on yahoo later.) but today I'm buying an advance airplane ticket for next month, I couldn't get anything sooner, because I had to get the cheapest I could get without waiting forever— We don't have much money. So on the 28th of April I'm going back home to West Virginia, to take care of my sick mother, and I don't know how long I'm going to be there.

I'm leaving my husband here, and going on my own, maybe bringing my dog. My husband is very supportive and knows I should be with her.

I don't know what this means for my writing. There's no internet back home, which might kill me—I've gotten so use to it here—but I'll cope. Good news, I have a laptop, so I can write whenever I can, and in the very small town there's a library, so whenever I finish a chapter I can go there and post it online.

But that is the future, and right now I'm just taking it one day at a time, and I'm not really sure right now. My mother, and taking care of her, in my opinion, is more important. How bad she is, and how much I need to tend to her, along with time to myself, my family—I'm not sure how much time I can squeeze writing into that is well, but when we come to that bridge—well… we will see…
