Okay, so I am going to try to write in my journal at least a few times a week. I always say that. I'm not sure if it will be this journal, though. I kind of like the idea of writing on paper where my words will not be deleted by a system admin at some future date.
Went to see Grandmother last night, that was nice. We had I-HOP for dinner, I had the Cheese Blintzes. They were actually really good. This IHOP we go to is much better than the one in my home town. Grandmother is really starting to show her age (and that's something at 91!) She says the wrong words, like says "College" when she means "high school" or says the wrong name of the city. Nothing that is too big a deal, happens to everyone if you live long enough. But she is also starting to feel weary - tired of taking all these pills to live, tired of paying for them, tired of dealing with doctors and insurance, tired of not having her body and mind working great. I really can't blame her. While it seems that it would be neat to live for almost a century, the reality of it is not that great.
So we move into our new house in about 2 or 3 weeks. I am so excited, so is Husband. I just can't wait to have my own back yard! It will be so nice and relaxing. Brother said that I will notice the quiet first thing, without the sound of people living beside, above, and below. We have to start packing this weekend, though, and I am not terribly thrilled with the prospect. Oh well. If we start now it will be easier than waiting until the last minute like we did last time. Plus it will be wonderful hiring movers and knowing that we don't have to lift and boxes or furniture ourselves! I will probably work this weekend on deciding what to get rid of, maybe take a trip up to the Goodwill.
On a different note, I have been reading about the Existentialist philosophy. It is very interesting. I got all kinds of drunk last weekend and worked on having an existential crisis in front of Husband, he is a very patient man.
