Life
So Wednesday morning I woke up with that nasty yellow mucus in the sinuses and of course, I was all stuffed up and even felt pressure in my ears. There was no warning that a cold was looming really. It was just a go to bed and wake up with it cold. So yeah, I'm feeling better. Throat hurts some but I've been downing Airborne and drinking hot tea daily plus dosing myself with a combo a few different drugs.
Adam and I are helping Mike and Laura move into their new apartment. Tonight we helped them with their bedroom set and tomorrow we'll be helping them with other random items. They're supposed to be getting a new mattress and couch tomorrow which luckily will be delivered meaning no need to lug them upstairs ourselves. Woo hoo! I really don’t mind doing physical labor though; it makes me feel good.
I’ve been reading the Dresden series. I’m in the middle of the third book called Grave Peril. The eleventh book will be coming out next month so I’m hoping to get through all the books before then. We’ll see!
It’s looking like we may not be needed to keep an eye on Adam’s Oma the weekend of the 21st. Adam’s parents seem reluctant to want to leave her because she needs so much assistance. Apparently she’s no longer going to be doing any treatments for the cancer but the doctor doesn’t think the cancer itself will be what will kill her which is why they don’t have an estimate for her life expectancy. There’s nothing that can be done really so seemingly we’ll be watching her slow demise. I’ve only had to watch one person I love slowly succumb to a disease/life. Adam on the other hand has watched two of his other grandparents slowly die and one of his other grandparents die suddenly from a stroke. Adam’s Oma is his last living grandparent. He seems to be taking everything okay but I have yet, in our time of being together (9 years), had to go through a death of one of his loved ones. I’m not quite sure what to expect. Many years back (within the first year or two of our dating) he mentioned that when his Gammy (his Father’s Mother) died, that he was very angry and just wanted to be alone (apparently his Mom was worried he’d punch a hole in a wall). He was very, very close to his Gammy; she lived with them for some time. I’m not sure if now that he has a wife to lean on that he’ll just cry it out; I’m not sure he’ll cry at all or if he’ll just hold it all in. I guess I’ll find out with time but I don’t want to see him upset.
Taxes! We have yet to do our taxes but we normally do them on my Father-in-law’s computer with whatever tax program he has. It’s easier ‘cause it has all of our information already on it. I’m hoping we’ll get a fair amount back this year. I know we shouldn’t owe like we have the last two years; at least I’m pretty damn sure we shouldn’t end up owing. We have to drive up to Lancaster one of these upcoming weekends to take care of our taxes. We may just go up there the weekend we thought we might have to watch Nelly. That way we’ll get taxes done and also spend some time with his parents and Nelly. Not sure yet though. They still may want us up there that weekend anyway to watch Nelly. I hate not knowing what I’m doing and when.
Not much else is going on. I did bust out my guitar recently so I may try to rebuild my calluses; it’s been so long. I have to work on my chords and maybe practice a few simple songs.
