...I guess this is a possible slowatus announcement?

soooooo my grandfather's going into surgery this morning and between the physical stress of surgery on a frail 81-year-old and the emotional stress of 'he was trying to avoid this particular surgery,' there's a very good chance he's not gonna make it through for long. So I don't know how much I'll be around over the next little while; no doubt I'll need the distraction some days, but I don't know what my free time's going to look like.
Right now this mainly affects Claudia, Cata and Apollo.

Update: So far so good. He actually got out of surgery with flying colors, much to our surprise; here's hoping he continues well. Thanks for the well wishes, guys.

I'll be thinking of you, and hope that it won't come to the worst...

Eeek. I hope all goes well and I am totally cool with slow/paused for Apollo and Dionysus.
