Life Happens

I know that in my last post I said that I wanted to launch my new Vegan/Recovery Blog on April 20th. At the time I really meant it. I was really excited about it. I planned it out a bit and got started and then, wouldn't you know it, life happened. It's been doing that a lot this year.
It started on Easter when Anthony and I found out that my Granny was diagnosed with cancer and given a few months. It didn't come as very much of a surprise (thank you heavy smoking) but anyone who gets news like that and carries on like normal may in fact need serious help. We cleared our schedules and coordinated with my dad to go up to the Bay Area for a long weekend two weeks later to see her and my Bay Area family.

As it turned out we really didn't have that much time and a week and a half later we were driving up to meet my dad and celebrate the life of a wonderful woman. Anthony and I, along with my parents spent about a week going through my Granny's house and getting things organized and in order. I was doing really well the entire time that we were there but once I got home I fell into a fairly serious bout of depression. We didn't really eat a home cooked meal for two weeks afterwards, and I could hardly bring myself to do just about anything. It felt like we had just gone through this with Anthony's grandmother, who passed away in February, and I was just tired. I was physically and emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed with work and I let it roll over me like a train. It's been a slow upswing since then. Eventually I went grocery shopping and eventually I hung out with some friends and things gradually resumed to normalcy. I've gotta say that I married an absolutely incredible man because I don't know what I would do without his love and support. Also my family... I'm not dumb, I know that I have been incredibly blessed to have such an insanely wonderful group of people love me and call me one of their own.

So right now I am just trying to figure stuff out. I've made some big decisions in the past week and I promise I will write about it as soon as I have hashed out all of the details. 

I guess that even though life has been happening, it is going to continue happening. I just need to readjust myself. Easier said than done sometimes but it has to happen eventually.
