explaination / eventual return?

I really should have posted this prior to the news article idea I posted.  Yet it comes to me as I wrote that how much fun it kinda is to try not to totally botch a written form.  Especially one trying to be a news article.

But... I owe you ( what readers I do have) an explanation.  The lack of Vocaloid Fixes or just posts in general.

in February this year, the grandmother I have lived with since as far as I can remember suffered 8 mini strokes overnight after I found her laying dazed on the floor after work.  I should have taken her then.. not listened to her saying she was just cold and to cover her up... I will regret this first decision my entire life I feel.  That morning after the finding of her, I woke and was about to go to work - I checked on her and found her attempted to get out of bed, yet she didn't get butt half way. 

I called 911.. I followed her to the hospital in my car and I called off from work for the day.. 2 days.. 3 days...  4 hours later they did the MRI that would discover her 8 mini strokes from a fractured larger clot in her heart - the 8 small clots found their way to her brain.  She underwent blood thinning and the Hospital after 3 days believed she was well enough to take to physical therapy and rehab in a facility within town which is mostly a old nursing home doubling as a rehab center.  I believe being sent here was the first great nail to seal grandma's fate.

She slipped to near death and once starved of the drugs they had been giving her in addition to her normal drugs - she bounced back miraculously yet was kept on a Hospice status due to small traits like her sleep habits or walking issues.  She only got 2 weeks of actual physical therapy initially due to her sudden slip in health.  They never came back to get her rehabbed due to her lingering hospice status and while I was able to bring her home for visits - they wouldn't let her go home alone. Nail #2

 She slipped again a few days before Thanksgiving more deeply. From a sudden cognitive loss and her legs failing her and on Thanksgiving I came to her with food I made from her own recipes to maybe cheer her up and yet she was just not there with us in mind. She ate some and said I did good.. :)

That was a hard day for me cuz I had hoped by then she'd be home...  about a week or two later - she went unresponsive for about 2 minutes in the morning and came back if only thru oxygen and morphine.  The days after that were clear she wasn't going to win this one so easily as she had in the past.

On November 30th, she passed at 1am while I slept to wae on the Friday to go visit her.  I took off work on the assumption she may die soon and I wanted a day to spend with her - she wasn't able to wait for me to visit tho.  To me and in my eyes - I lost a Mom, a Freind, and a partner in crime.  I am now in my eyes alone in this world.  My other family members exist and yet I just have had so muc of my life being with Grandma - it hurts.   And in a way I guess it's healing to me as I write this with my nose getting stuffed up and water leaking from my eyes; all things I wasn't expecting as I wrote this.

Yet...  about this blog.

City Promotes New Years Event as Last :: fictional news article

SOUTHSTAR GLEN:: SouthStar Daily Times
 Promotions for the New years Eve Bash event at the SouthStar Peace Terrace campus have drawn attention of citizens and others outside of our city as the adverts note the event will be the last of it's kind after this year. 

Six months of city and state debate ended Friday as the city reached agreements for future development within currently held lands owned by Greer Properties LLC., to whom the city's contract ends in 2020. The city's contract to gain income and host events on the former Glen Garden's land, which was purchased from the city under a very unusual contract allowing the city options to gain income without the cost of campus maintenance or event overhead, went under fire in June of 2018 as the city noted a decline in attendance to it's shows and less event's booked.  While the city still profits from the deal - it was suggested there was better use for parts of the campus which the city wished to buyback for development.  Such matters required all parties and the State of Arkansas to hammer out details and restrictions. 

On November 2nd, 2018; Greer Properties LLC agreed to the sale of the full Lakefront section of the campus  for a reduced $1.2 Million and a contract revision to update the ownership lines.  Greer Properties expressed in a returned email that there were many stipulations to the sale including the operation til the end of the year of the lakefront area as well as items which would return to the seller upon disassembly of the stage rigging.


This sale of course predated the city mayor elections in which Mayor Elect Susan Anderson's 3 year seat was taken by her opponent Ray Silverson.  Mr. Silverson's campaign ran on the heels of his affiliation with a more Socialist government style and had hopes of adding more green space and to start luring in green economy into the city.    The land deal was completed as a city hold lot until Silverson's proposal in late November for a green space retail and commerce development within the campus lot. 

The plans now passed thru Arkansas state boards and with the EPA received a nomination for Platinum Level LEED Status once completed.  Utilizing green space, living roof designs, and natural systems for light, HVAC systems, and Water are top on the list for what is being called a "Intensely Elaborate and Ambitious Project" by local officials.  The cost of the Project is budgeted at $1.9 Million as Bids are currently being received from across the state. 

The New Years Eve event will top off the final event within the Lakefront area with music from viral acts such as K/DA, Papa Roach, The Birthday Massacre, and more with Deadly Kosen's frontwoman Bethany Vixette overseeing the event.  The event has been pushed as a 4-day long event of local and big name bands, rides, attractions, flea markets, and a Countdown fireworks show put on by Johnny Bam Productions. 

Once the event finishes and crowds have subsided; city crew's will be locking off the grounds until work begins to dismantle stage equipment and begin grading the area.  Greer Properties LLC will be responsible for the tear down of the area and initial grading work per the city's plans before the city's hired companies will take over. When asked about her views on the steps the city was taking; the owner of Greer Properties, Jag Greer, stated it was unexpected yet sees it as a positive forward step expressing a desire to see more Green and LEED based influence within the city. 

The SSPT campus will close January 2nd to allow crews full access to the lot and will reopen the Botanical Gardens and Annex buildings by the start of February 2019.  Greer stated that her company had expressed a desire to take the LEED step with the city and told us that her company is investing $788,000 in the renovation of the Annex Hall with greenscape roofing and off-grid power systems which would be able to still handle the large power draws the building has during concert events with the vast lighting systems they use. 

"If I could make the thing {sic} breath I would" said Greer in talking to us. "Everything I have seen and done up to this point never had a eye to the environment and many promotions don't think of the impact we really have on our world" she added noting she is also looking into new vendors for paper products which will be used on campus during the events.  The Greer company also has issued a press release earlier this year stating the return naming of the campus to "Glen Gardens Campus" by next year due to the changes in campus space. 

New years Eve Bash tickets are for sale currently at the SSPT Ticket Office, At the Gates from December 29th - 31st, and at most SuperSavr Stores. Tickets cost $15 a day or $50 for the full event pass. VPTA trains will stop at the SSPT campus side track station all days during the event prior to the SouthStar Red Line closing for evaluation.
