I hate to dump this and run, but I don't have the spoons for a long post right now. My Grandpa had a stroke two months ago, then was released; then they found multiple pulmonary embolisms right after Thanksgiving, but then he was released again; now he's been admitted with a blood clot in his leg. I spent most of yesterday evening over there, but I've had to work (and will again tomorrow), and there's so much other family stuff going on right now. And Christmas in there somewhere, in theory.

Had dinner with some of my dearest friends tonight and forgot about it for a few hours, but then I came back to a long update from my mother, and I don't even know. We're all exhausted and stressed, and things are just...crap. I love him so damn much.

Prayers and good thoughts appreciated. For my mother, too--she's been maintaining a painful balancing act with my grandparents as things have started to get difficult, and it's really hard on her.
