My Limited Activity - Life Gets in the Way

Hey folks. Hope everyone is having a happy New Year. I've been pretty limited in activity here for a bit with the holidays but we were trying to at least get on and check people's posts out during our travels and use our votes. That hasn't been happening so much lately as things have been pretty chaotic around here. At least the cats enjoyed their Christmas...

Our roommate and @jae5086's oldest friend has been out of town since the new year. His dad (great guy) is battling cancer and just today had a 9 hour surgery after two days of prep procedures to remove tumors from his throat and stomach. That's been weighing on us all and, since he isn't around, jae has been extra busy with work and he's the one doing most of the legwork here on steemit to get my posts written up and such.

Meanwhile, our downstairs neighbor is getting evicted but won't leave quietly and has been causing all sorts of trouble for us messing with our mail and package deliver. We're just waiting for that notice to get posted on her door (any day now) then jae is going to probably go full-on warfare to torture her until she finally leaves. He and the roommate have been around here dealing with her for over 7 years.

My dad recently had some minor heart complications. Nothing serious and he is fine, but with everything else going on, it's just one more thing competing for brain space. He's getting electricity to the heart to normalize his heartbeat and that should be it.

Anyway, just wanted to throw that out there so people knew we weren't abandoning the platform/community but we're probably only going to be around sparingly for a little while. Hopefully everything resolves in a timely and beneficial manner and we can get back to a nice rhythm. Until then, I am still cranking away on art and just signed up for another Punk Rock Flea Market this spring. This time, we're only going to do the first day (cheaper) because we aren't sure it will be nearly as worthwhile as the one before the holidays. We were hoping the tables would be cheaper than last time since there won't be, you know, Christmas a couple weeks later. This time, we'll be heading to Italy and then Greece a couple weeks later, but that won't help us make any sales.

Until next time everyone, enjoy the new year and stay positive!
