GOOD GOD, I MISSED FOOD!

I'm going to be so damn fat, and I don't even care. And while there's a chance I'll turn back into a vampire while outside enjoying the sun, it's worth the risk. If anyone needs me, I'll be on the roof working on my tan. A REAL ONE!

I'm available for security duty if anyone needs some time off because of whatever is happening. I'm still a vampire though, so indoor shifts only during daytime hours. Why the fuck couldn't I have been turned human?

I'm really sorry for bailing on all of you without warning. I talked to Hope and the headmaster about it, since I was going to be leaving work, but didn't want to burden anyone else with it all until I knew for sure.

My dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's. For those of you who know him, you know that he always puts himself last. His family comes first. I guess he's noticed the symptoms for awhile now, but he's been afraid to tell us. He finally told me the other week, and as soon as he did, I had to leave to spend time with him. We've been to see a lot of doctors in recent weeks, hoping for some sign that the diagnosis is wrong, but it's not. He's got a great attitude about it, but I don't. I don't know what to do.

Anyway, I'm back, but I'm not really myself right now. Sorry if I'm an asshole to any of you.

( I'm trying not to think of it as murder. )

( But you better not die, Charlie. I'm serious. )

( People I love are at risk no matter what happens )

( Unless you find flossing on a date.. sexy. )

( I'm worried about my sire hurting my son and you think that I would try to sleep with you. )

( Why are you questioning me so much tonight? )

( Email: Hope )

( Medicine woman, right. )

( I'm gonna cuddle you so hard, you won't be able to walk in the morning. )

( Not if they want to keep their balls in tact.  )

I'm grateful for my family and my service to my country. Both taught me that doing the right thing often has no reward. We can't expect others to appreciate all we do for them. If praise is what we seek, then we really don't deserve it. The satisfaction of knowing someone else's life is better thanks to us should be reward enough. Still, it's always nice to hear the words thank you.

With that in mind, I'd like to thank everyone who has been so good to Maggie and I. She's well cared for here, and nothing matters more to me or the rest of our family. I know all of her teachers are working hard to help her catch up on her studies, and I feel blessed that she's made so many good friends. I appreciate everyone who is able to turn a blind eye to the fact that she's my niece and be good to her even if you don't care for me.

I'll never forgive myself for all the mistakes I've made in my life that have hurt those I love. All I can do is attempt to atone. True penance probably isn't possible for a vampire, but I'm working on it. So, I apologize for those of you who had to witness my suffering at Church this morning, but it's been so long since I've gone to confession, that I had to attempt it. Thankfully, Father has agreed to meet me elsewhere in the future.
