Much Better
Today is so much better!!! Yesterday I was emotionally "hung over" (for lack of better terminology) from my Tuesday night cry-fest. I was so lathargic yesterday and just didn't care to be anywhere. I left service early, didn't miss anything that I know of...family night...and headed to Dor's where everyone else was. We went to O'Charley's then back to his place to just hang out and chat. It was fun. I needed the laughs that were provided. I think that help...you know they say that laughter is the best medicine.
It was so cold outside...still is. I finally plugged in my electric blanket. It was nice and snuggley this morning...I didn't want to leave the comfort of my bed...but then I never do. :)
Oh, another thing that helped is I talked to PC a little last night and told him some of the stuff that was going on Tuesday night. I think talking helped to, even though I didn't go into great detail, and I couldn't becuase of timing.
Tonight...well, I really don't know what I'm going to do. I know I'm going to change when I get home and probably go see Granddaddy. He's in the hospital again. We think he may have had a mild stroke becuase yesterday he had a spell where he could speak and then he fell at some point. Grandmommy took him to Navy hospital and they're keeping him there "until she's ready to take care of him" (i believe is the way it was said). See, Granddaddy is 89 and is in the late-beginning stages of Alzheimer's. He comes and goes on his good days now...last time I saw him, I don't think he knew who I was. It's so sad!!! Anyway, he's also a very bitter old man, he had a hard life growing up and was equally hard on his wife and kids (my dad and his brothers). So, now that his mind is slipping, he's starting back into some of his old ways and has become verbally abusive to Grandmommy. The doctors realize that she needs rest and a chance to take care of herself without worring about him, so they're keeping him a while. She said is was nice to go home this morning and take a nap and not have to worry about him or take care of him. Dad talked to Hal (one of the brothers) this morning and I think they're going to looking to putting Granddaddy into a home where he'll have 'round the clock care. He's such an impatient man I don't know how that'll go over. When he was in the hospital last year, I went and sat with him a couple hours (one of the hardest things I've ever done...I abhor hospitals with a passion) and he kept asking where Nona (grandmommy) was and trying to get up and leave. I finally had to get a nurse to come settle him down. So...if you think of it...send up a prayer for wisdom for Daddy, his brothers, and Granddmommy.
And there you have the latest. Lunch is over, and I must return to the pile of work still haunting me from taking a day and a half off last week. Thankfully, it's not date sensitive. :)
hugs!
