So I'm staying up at my grandmother's for a few nights. She fell and hurt her knee and the hospital said she should have someone around all the time for a few days just in case. My aunts are taking care of it during the day while I'm at work. It's not so great to sleep up there. Starting at about 7 every morning the racket begins, grandma wandering around, hollering at the animals to get out of her way so she doesn't trip (inexplicably, her wide-load animals all like to lay in the middle of whatever walkway is in use and are too lazy to want to get up), talking on the phone, talking to visitors, etc. So sleep is not great from 7-8:30 when I typically need to get up.
Fortunately, I'm not especially sleepy right now, but I am feeling kind of depressed. Still having a hard time. Maybe I need to get out more. Maybe I need a better diet. I'm not sure. Maybe I'm not immersing myself in mourning the way I should be in order to get past it, but whatever the issue is, I'm not recovering as much as I'd like to be at this point. Guess I'll talk to my mom tonight and see if she has any advice. I do appreciate that we've been a lot closer in the past month and a half than we have been in years.
Ack, break is over, got to get back to work.
