Some time has passed since my last post (again) and my depression started to hit the projected slump. I get really depressed and cynical this time of year due to a close family member’s death and years of disappointment. Roll the clock back to 2004- 10 Years ago. I was elated to finally become an Uncle, a title I proudly wear even today, with my sister Jenn bearing her first of two; a wonderful daughter that is Alyssa. But sadly true happiness never lasts as my maternal Grandmother’s illness finally escalated to the point on which she required life support…. She asked the doctor to pull the plug, as dying was causing too much pain…. Fast forward to today, I’m almost in tears typing about my Grandmom. And my depression kicks in mainly because of that. And that’s how I’ll end this post.

Babysitting Duty Calls
This, I guess is my test of babysitting, I woke up, with Ryan, already up, and Alyssa woke up the same time as me. I went into the kitchen, past the kitchen, and into the kitchen hallway of my sisters house, and found Jenn sleeping, Dan, too. So here I am, babysitting, half-awake as usual.
