Hey, all, like I said on twitter, we had a bad storm in Tulsa County on early Sunday morning that knocked out power to the whole area. Monday's page is delayed, but I'll get it up as soon as I can! I feel very lucky that I made it through without any damage, and that prolonged power outage is the worst that I have to deal with. :)
Okay. So, here's just an update of what is going on right now. When my dad died, it left my brother and I in charge of our grandmother. She has dementia, and it was a very hectic sprint to get guardianship, try to sort out her finances and medical information, and get her into a proper care home. All of that while trying to put together a memorial service for my dad. It's been a lot. I haven't been home except to sleep.
Now that Grandma is in a safe place getting medical care, we aren't on such an intense timeline. We also have to get her house cleaned out so we can sell it and use the funds for her care costs, but that is something that we will hopefully be able to work on at a pace that isn't so overwhelming. I really, REALLY want to get back to work again. I'll let you know. Thank you for being patient.
Yeah... I've honestly barely processed it at this point. It all just happened today and it doesn't feel real yet. He wasn't in the best health, but it is still a shock.
I'm sure this will affect the update schedule as I help my family with final arraignments and all of those matters. I just wanted to let you all know to expect some bumps in the road ahead.
Thanks for reading. I appreciate all of you.

No page on Friday. Have a happy holiday. :)
Taking Friday off for the holiday. See you all back here first thing on Monday! :)
Hey, all, my little old lady cat unexpectedly, but peacefully, passed away in her sleep on Sunday morning. I just need to take a personal day. Updates should resume on Wednesday. Thank you.
No updates this week (Jan 18-- Jan 22) for my winter break. I'd been planning on taking this week off, but didn't intend to leave you all with such a cliff-hanger. Sorry about that X_X. See you all next week!
Phew! This chapter is long.

Thank you so much for your patience while I took some personal time. And another thank you for all of the kind emails and other messages. I'll try to respond to them when I am able. I really appreciate all of you.
Hey, all. I'm really sorry to have to take another break so soon into the new chapter, but on Friday my dog Lucy was diagnosed with a very aggressive inoperable tumor on her heart. The vet said that when they see this condition it is always very quick, so she might have a few days left, or even a week. I took her in because she had started limping, so this totally blindsided both me and my entire family. I'm completely shocked and devastated. I just need to spend as much time with her as I can in her final days.
I will probably want to get back to work as soon as possible as a distraction, but I have no idea how I will be feeling. I've lost pets before, but it was always at a time in their life where I could see it coming and prepare. This feels like we've been cheated.
I'll make an update to let you all know when pages are going to resume when I'm able to figure it out. I don't think it will be that long. Getting to work on and share the comic is such a privilege and a source of happiness for me. I'll need happiness to come from somewhere.
Thank you so much for the continued support.
