A Personal Note. . .
I’ve been AFK (away from keyboard) for some time in the past couple of weeks, so I thought a small explanation was in order. So, without further words, here’s what I’ve been up to:
Mid-May: Went to VA to go apartment hunting with the girlfriend. We found a nice little place for about $800 a month, we move in July 21st.
End of May: This is where everything went a bit insane. I had a bit of life-changing news and had to make a trip to Virginia (more on that when I feel the time is right). In order to afford the trip, I picked up a friend of mine who was coming back from A-School for the Navy and drive him to Havelock, NC.
Beginning of June: Literally on the way back from dropping off my friend Justin at his parent’s house, I was informed that they had taken my Nana off life support. About 10 hours later she passed away after struggling against cancer for over 3 years. I then drove from my home in North Carolina to Indianapolis, IN the next day to make it to her funeral, which was a big ball of crazy events in itself due to how my grandpa was acting towards the entire family.
So, in all, I put about 5,000 miles on my car in a little over a month, I drove (roughly) a total of 45 hours in the span of 2 weeks, and had two life altering events occur. Hectic, stressful, but it’s all done and over with now.
