Heart Stressing
I was nervous enough about my graduation dinner/weekend with my extended family and Mark since it's the first family event since we got back together, but now Mark's parents are coming up for my graduation too. I was not expecting it at all. I sent them a graduation announcement as a warm gesture, and now they are coming up here on Saturday. Mark hasn't seen his parents since Christmas, so now I feel bad because it feels like I'm sneaking them up here and adding more stress to a situation that would already make him anxious.
My birthday dinner was strained enough with just my grandparents and immediate family because of my grandma's vascular dementia. Please don't let this be worse than that :[ I still remember my mom cutting Gammy's food at the dinner table and I was ashamed because I felt ashamed of that action. I still hate that I reacted that way, even in my head. My poor Gam can't help it and she loves me so much. Gammy's done a lot better since she's been seeing her occupational and speech therapist, but I can't help but dread this weekend.
In other news, I am now an assistant manager at two apartment complexes in north Dallas.
