Pretty important update about what's going on in my life right now, and affecting my activity here on FA.
I was taking a break from art and my civ run, maybe doing a commission or two but admittedly I got a bit lazy....
But then my Grandad had a stroke Sunday morning GMT time which led to blood on the brain. Had to dash over and see him before he went under knife. Thankfully he's still with us and as uncertain the next few days are, he's looking positive already. I had a tricky decision to make as I have a work trip to France tomorrow for 3 days, but after he managed to string a few words together, even Grandad told me to go. So I will and will visit him the moment I get back.
All this right before my birthday on Saturday! If nothing else changes I still plan to have a little party with friends, I'll probably need some hugs anyway :)
But in terms of art, all is off for now. I'll drop in and lurk about, drop some comments, but my priorities lie with the family for now understandably.

And don't worry, I'm coping and I'm not cracking up. My family deal with situations like this by laughing, a strange way but its working :) we know the worst could happen, but we're not going crazy with worry just yet.
