E-Gads, Brain! I Exist!

My, my... It's been awhile since I've updated on the ever so magical happenings of my tiny existence. I apologize for the wait, I've been rather distracted with Renn Faire shenanigans :P

*chuckles and takes a drink of her coffee*

It's been pretty awesome thus far. Spending time with my Faire Family and Friends, creating Chaos and wonderful Memories I won't soon forget. It's amazing that we're already half way... Only 3 Weekends left and this season of the Renaissance Pleasure Faire will close and we'll all have to wait until next Spring to do it all over again.

*grins as Guns'N'Roses 'Sweet Child O'Mine' begins playing over the speakers*

Honestly, being able to work faire again as a Rabble Rouser at the Joust, has really done my spirits good. I wasn't even sure if I'd even be able to do so this year due to everything that's been happening with Dad's health. Thankfully, the Fates seemed to give me a small break... Finally got some breathing room.

Dad's actually doin' alright for the most part. He's still at the VA Hospital and they're doing everything they can to get him his strength back, but of course it's not going to be an easy battle. His Liver is barely functioning and may never recover due to the abuse that has been inflicted on it for so long. However, whatever they're doing has brought my Dad back... Sure, he still has a little confusion, but it's nothing like before. I wish more than anything for a miracle...but I'm a realist. He can either improve quickly and maybe be able to come back home, or they keep him stable like they have been and we'll go from there. It's unfortunately, a waiting game. I have no problem waiting, but Dad desperately wants to come home even though he knows that's not going to happen unless he's at least able to walk on his own. 

*takes in a deep needed breath and lets it out slowly*

This illness has done a real number on him physically. I try not to think about it; how he went from being strong, barrel chested and very independent... To being almost unrecognizable. I know that it's hard on him emotionally, but he's still just as stubborn and isn't ready to give up anytime soon. So that's a plus :)

I've also been driving Ellie allot more since Faire started. I wasn't sure if she'd make an Hour and Twenty minute drive twice every weekend, but she's been fantastic. She seems to enjoy stretching her legs. Especially since I get to open her up and let her go 70-75MPH on the freeway. Trust me when I say that's Not speeding for a '70 Chevy. It seems that she evens out and rides smoother at those speeds and does pretty well on Gas even though she can be a gas guzzler. She was designed for long hauls, so it's less expensive then I feared it would be. I'm proud of my baby ^_^

Anyhoo, I'm gunna stop here and go finish my coffee. I promise that I'll make a point to write more, especially after I first get up so I don't forget.
