Dumped Twitter, and other things

starseerdrgnI haven't been on Twitter in practically forever, and I feel better for it. I don't feel like I'm constantly being dragged down by the negativity there, and my attention can be turned toward other things...to some degree...
See, just about 2 weeks ago, we had to put my grandfather in the hospital, thanks to his blood sugar spiking to nearly 600 (140 is borderline "high", 400+ should have rendered him unconscious). He's out now, but now he's on insulin, and the doctors screwed with his medicine so much that he's confused when trying to make up his daily medicine cups. As such, I've been giving him his evening insulin shot, and pulling together his medicine 2-3 days at a time until we can get him a "week planner" medicine box for me to make them for the week.
I've also had to deal with a lot of other things, so my writing has been... haphazard at best? My focus definitely isn't anywhere near where it should be.
That said, to help get myself back into writing, I've been working off-and-on on a game using the Quest engine. With the fact that I can work on things in chunks, I'm not dedicating myself to a full story all at once, so I don't have to put every bit of focus I have into it. It's...a nice middle ground until I can get my head fully back into my work.
That said, I'm going to be fairly scarce for a while, at least until I can really relax for a while. I may post some things up on my Dreamwidth, but no social media. I'm done with the hate-fueled communities on those things. Discord and IRC will be rare for me as well, as I'd like to focus myself on my work for a while. I'm finally getting back into the groove. I don't want to lose it again.
