still alive

[kelly1]

Hi all. I'm sorry for falling off the face of the earth the way I have the past few weeks. It's been a really rough past few months. As most of you know, there's just a lot of crap going on. Lost The Dad in May, a lot of upheaval at work, drama with the ex, etc. My laptop crashed, still isn't fixed, and the desktop won't run PSE, so I haven't been able to scrap or create, which has left me feeling rather useless around here. I had gotten to the point of just withdrawing from everything and everyone.

Last Wednesday, my brother Danny passed away unexpectedly from a massive heart attack. There was one good thing that came from losing him. It made me realize I needed help for my depression.

I'm not back, not by a long shot, but I'm working on it. I have missed everyone, and I really appreciate Candy, Lynn, and Lisa being gracious enough to allow me to come back when I'm ready.
