it's been a very long week. i haven't been this emotionally exhausted in a while. i don't feel like going into it really any more than to say that i hate hospitals and that no one should ever get sick. i'll also say that today (and i still count this as Wednesday, June 23rd) was ten years to the day of my grandfather's death.
my cousin jen and i went to Stamm's Dairy for breakfast. she was late. i was early. I had a cup of coffee and a cigarette while i waited for her at the counter, and read a newspaper. i imagine that's what pap did every morning. went to stamm's, sat at the counter, had coffee and a smoke, and read the paper or bullshitted with any number of people that came in.
i have the best group of friends anyone could ask for. i'm dating someone with a big heart. i have a huge and supportive family who isn't afraid to talk to one another (and i really got to know my aunt lucille and jen a lot better).
i want to live like my grandparents have. i want to do what i want to do, enjoy life, and live it and die knowing that i lived, loved, and did what i wanted and be happy with that and know when it's time.
anyway. i'll be back in pittsburgh by friday, hopefully. hopefully i'll have some interesting plans. if not ... i'll do something spontaneous.
