[white]After much inner debate, I have decided to make a change to my life. I am leaving Austin and moving back to live with my grandparents.
While a part of this decision is based on the fact that my grandparents are in serious need of aid in order to continue living as capably as they are currently (yes, I realize I just contradicted myself), I also have selfish motives.
I want to be a writer. Desperately. Unfortunately, I've had an extremely hard time trying to write here in Austin. Between the daily grind of work and the drive to relax after the fact I have found little to no time to write. Little alone any real inspiration.
My grandmother is slowly going senile. Not crazy, she still knows who she is and manages to function, but her short term memory is shot. My grandfather on the other hand is smart as can be still, at the ripe old age of 88 no less, but he is old none-the-less and to this day he still works. They need my help. I need the quiet.
Of course this means my internet access will become sparse. But my time to devote to RPGM2 will increase comparatively. I'll not be leaving for a couple weeks, so I'll have time to wrap up my internet life. I'll be giving calls to those of you who I call and saying my peace to all the rest of you.
Hopefully I can find an ISP that offers DSL or cable internet out where my grandparents live, but I doubt it. I'll still have the local libraries for high speed dial up, but with out the broadband I'm going to feel so out of it. I'm especially going to miss FFXI.
Alas, more to come soon.
P.S. I can't wait to tell my boss that this will be my last week! They're going to literally ![/white]
