time goes by so slowly
I never want to get so old that I cannot care for myself. I never want to get so old that I don't have my health. It's funny, I used to want to live be the oldest person in the world. Literally. I wanted to get in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the oldest person in the world. Clearly, I was a bit daft in the head. Now, I really don't think I would mind dying in my 60s or 70s.
If you're wondering what prompted me to say all this, it's because I just got back from visiting my grandfather in his new nursing home. It really kills me to see all the people there. Most of them are completely gone, they sit with empty eyes and a blank stare, their canned green beans dribbling down their chins. There was another lady in the hallway making conversation with the push cart for the meals. And another lady who referred to me as "Sheila" and asked if I could help her turn on her radio. I was seriously tearing up. Luckily my grandfather isn't quite that bad. Hopefully, he won't deteriorate to that.
I don't trust nursing homes either. It wouldn't surprise me if they drug their patients to make them die faster. I know that's probably a horrible thing for me to say, but I'm really suspicious of nursing homes.
Anywho, this is pretty much the first official snow! So that's a good thing. I love it so much. I can't wait for vacation and to go skiing and to Hospital Hill. We better get pounded with snow days this year. How about the first one tomorrow?
