's message, "Re: Updates or lack thereof" on 3/04/03 1:44pm
has been my focus, my sanity for almost 3 years now. Come hell or highwater, nothing has kept me from updating [save Dan taping the wrong ep once, when I was away]. Yes, it usually made me ill to keep the pace but at least I had the knowledge of a job well done - something I haven't had since I was forced to leave the Military in 92...
Let's see if I can't recap what's happened since Feb...
My Gran [in England] had a fall in her flat, so My Mother flew over there for what was to be two/three weeks until she got out of hospital. Mom left on the 12 of Feb, and is still in England, and Nana still in Hospital - she's 96 and other health problems cropped up, including a bout that lead her to isolation for 2 weeks or so.
On the same day Mom left for England, my Eldest Daughter ran away. This lead to arguments with my Father, who doesn't live in this province [lots of phone calls flying back and forth between provinces and countries let me tell you!] Megan did however end up coming home last week or so - I'm so exhausted I don't even remember the date!
Dan, who's been in the Military since 83, and a Medic, has been upgrading himself - first from Medic to Licensed Practical Nurse and then to Operating Room Technician. We'd been told that they were desperate for OR Techs and they could hardly wait for him to rebadge to thier ranks. This would have meant a promotion and pay raise [something he's not had since 88].
Well Ottawa came back and said he's unfit to be in the Medical Trade due to his PTSD and they decided to make him a Postal Clerk!!!!!!!!!!!! He leaves for course in May for over a month. Which leads to me. I can't be left alone for that long anymore. I don't have the strength to run a household let alone get out and shop, I can barely walk these days. I've been getting weaker in the past year and have barely been out of bed... If worse come to worst, Dan could get transferred to another Base after the course, which means we'd have to live separately for a long time as we don't want to uproot the kids at this age, or sell our [not even] 2 year old house we had built.
They've taken his trade away, they've taken his uniform away [he used to be Navy and now wears Army] and next they'll take him away. He doesn't want to leave the Military, and I don't want him to leave it either - it's been our life.
He won't even be home for his 40th birthday *sigh*
Okay and then there's my health, but I won't get into that other than what I said above. I just hope somehow things turn around...
I need this site just as much if not more than the fans, but for some reason I can't keep myself together. If I lose focus altogether, there won't be much of a site left and I believe this is the only major Andromeda site still running! [If I'm wrong, please tell me!] I feel a responsibility to the fans, to you all and to myself - and I'm letting all of us down.
I promised to cap today and haven't as of yet :(
