My Plan + An Update

Before I get into the update of this part, I want to get into what I'm planning writing and school wise. I don't know when I'll be done with anything. I don't 100% know when I'll start anything. It's just a general ass plan.

I need to edit quite a bit of shit yet.

I already edited The Hunger Games: Peeta's POV and Catching Fire: Peeta's POV.

I'm currently in the middle of editing Mockingjay: Peeta's POV and City of Bones: Jace's POV.

I need to edit We Won't Surrender. Hopefully.,Fire is Raging On, and Forbidden Uncovering. WWSH may be getting a new name when I sit down to edit it. I came up with the title before the story was entirely written and now that's it's written I feel like the title doesn't completely fit.

The plan is to finish editing Mockingjay: Peeta's POV. Then move on to We Won't Surrender. Hopefully. and Fire is Raging On. After that is when I will edit Forbidden Uncovering.

While all that is going on I will continue editing City of Bones: Jace's POV and will update the story every other Friday with a new chapter. I am planning this summer quarter to start writing the next book, City of Ashes: Jace's POV. I already have the outline done. I don't know how quickly I'll write it. But I'm hoping faster than it took me to write the first book.

After all of the editing through Forbidden Uncovering is done I plan on writing a science fiction book called Experiment. It's been in the works for a while, and I have it all planned out. I simply don't have the motivation or the time right now to write it.

Addition to the writing shit, I'm currently in college. Right now I'm on my summer break. I am posting my college notes on Tumblr for anyone to see and use. I post anatomy & physiology notes every Saturday at noon on my Tumblr blog, 123haha321-studying. If you find the most recent notes post on my blog it also will link you to the rest of the notes I've posted. I am going to be posting other subjects besides A&P. There are also some clinical/related terms to A&P being posted right now to along with the A&P notes. I am going to be posting some health care ethics notes this summer at some point. I'm starting to type my notes from the semester so that I can upload them. There will also be intro psychology notes and stats notes that will probably start going up this summer. At the start of the next school year, the fall, I will start posting introductory biology and general (inorganic) chemistry notes. There may also be culture and healthcare, medical terminology, and interracial communications notes. Those will depend on how the class is set up, and if we actually have notes for them. In the spring there will be more introductory biology and general chemistry notes. There is also the possibility of women's health and abnormal psychology notes.

That's all for the planning part of this part. This second part is an update on some personal shit.

I may have mentioned this before and some of you may know parts of this already.

In October of 2015 my aunt was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. She's my only biological aunt. She helped raise me. My mom and her worked opposite schedules. So when my mom worked I went to her house, and when she worked her kids, my cousins, came to my house.

She has been through more shit than she should. My cousin who is 2 ½ years older than me was born 2 ½ to 3 months premature. He had a lot of complications due to him being born early. They thought he was going to die. When he was born, his intestines weren't inside his body. They had to transfer him to a hospital in Columbus, Ohio, which is about 2 hours away from where we live. Luckily, he made it. But, the complications caused my aunt to quit her job to be in Columbus with him. A few years later, she had another son. He has autism, and while he is fairly high functioning, it's still a struggle with him to this day. But we love him the same as anyone else in the family. We don't know how much he actually understands what's happening with his mom yet. I don't think anyone has told him the newest thing in my aunt's care.

In 2015 when she was diagnosed with cancer, it was a month after her daughter's wedding. The cancer was already spreading. They found spots of it in her liver, lungs, and brain. Due to the news, her oldest son (who's 4 years older than me) pushed his December 2017 wedding up to November 2015.

The past few years have been going as well as you expect. Of course, our hope is that the cancer would shrink, and she would be able to beat it. That hasn't been happening. The past few years they've been able to keep it from spreading. Shit happened the past few months, and a lot of shit happened the past week. In the past few months, my aunt went from having treatment every 3 weeks to every week. Radiation isn't an option for treatment because of the reaction she had to it. It made her incredibly ill to the point she had to be hospitalized. So we've been sticking with chemo.

This past week turned shitty quickly. I finished my spring semester last Monday. On Thursday my aunt went up for chemo treatment. They found fluid in her lungs. They admitted her to the hospital. This isn't the first time they found fluid in her lungs. It's the third if you count when they found fluid in her lungs the day she was diagnosed. The last time they found fluid was last winter. They have been attempting to drain the fluid from her lungs. It's not going well. Sunday, Mother's Day, we got a phone call while at my grandparents for dinner. She took a turn for the worse. My grandparents left to head up to the hospital in Cleveland (3 hours away). Every time my aunt takes off her oxygen mask to take a drink her stats drop dangerously low. Monday, she signed a DNR. If you don't know what a DNR is it is a do not resuscitate order meaning that if she stops breathing or her heart stops beating, she doesn't want them to try to bring her back. My uncle, her husband, has been up there since Thursday. My cousins, her kids, have been up there and back (since they still have jobs). My grandparents came back home Monday night and headed back up Tuesday. My mom headed up there this morning. My cousin, my aunt's youngest and the one with autism, is a senior in high school. It's his last week of school, and he graduates May 27th. He doesn't know about the DNR. He doesn't know much. I picked him up from school Monday, and he told me he was expecting his mom to pick him up because she hasn't in a few days and he was hoping she was going to be home. We don't know how much time she has left, and she doesn't want to know or anyone else.

I'm going on a type of hiatus. Not a complete one. I'm still planning on updating since I have everything ready (all I have to do is hit publish) on everything through the month of June. But there will be no messages from me. I won't be available to talk for the time being unless we're friends. I don't know when I'll be back. I may still be voting on stuff I'm reading since my reading and writing is an escape for me. But I'll only be doing those things while I'm waiting in the hospital for my aunt to wake up since she's being heavily sedated. If she passes, I won't be on even longer. Unless we're friends or have had an interaction in the past please don't message me right now. I don't need people who don't know me talking to me right now about how sorry they feel. Because I don't believe in that shit. I don't think you can be sorry if you don't know me or my family.
