Again, here in the hospital. I'm getting sadly used to the drone of hospital machines, and I've settled about being here with Grandma. She needs me. And I need to be here. Not just for Mom, Kim, Chris, Kathy, etc...but for me. I know I'd just hate myself if something happened and I wasn't there because I didn't "feel" like it. Ha. That would be something I would do...just not feel like it. Don't know how many things I haven't felt like doing that I just blew off -- like go to work. I think I've lost three jobs because I just didn't feel like getting up and going to work. Real responsible, Melissa. Good job. *rolls eyes*
I finished my book(s)...IN LOVE. Totally. It's a series called HOUSE OF NIGHT...about a Vampyre finishing school. Amanda lent me the first two out of the 5 book series, and I devoured them in less than 24 hours. Now I've been through all four (the fifth comes out March 10th) and I'm actually psyched for a book release date that ISN'T Harry Potter...how bizarre!! I'm thinking about starting the Twilight series (see what all the hype is about) in the mean time. Hopefully I don't mix up Vampyre stories. Yumm...I love books.
I also have a newfound love for cereal. Frosted mini wheats, to be exact. They're so sweet and delicious. Plus, they get me to drink some semblance of milk...which I hate.
This week is going to be quite interesting...Grandma gets transferred back up to Belleville tomorrow where I suppose she'll be in the rehab unit for a few days more. I'm going to follow her up and get her settled, go make sure the cat and the apartment are okay, and then come home. Mom and Dad should be back late tomorrow night, in which case mom will then go up to Belleville on Wednesday and I will take a day off then scoot myself back to Lawrence on Thursday. Marilyn's show opens this weekend (H2$) so we're going to see it. Plus, our really good friend Luke is the assistant director and we've had to watch him have a daily meltdown about the entire thing -- he's starting to talk like his mother, with this high-pitched voice that makes you want to punch a baby. But I have to say: his re-enactions of his mom's freak-outs are the most priceless thing I've ever seen. They make me want to go visit him in Scotsdale, AZ, just because.
Anywho, three more hours and I'm going to go home and sleep for a while....yummmm.....

ReplyDeleteThanks for being there, for being responsible, for being present. The reports that I hear about the Salina's nursing staff isn't that reassuring, and I'm glad Gram has someone close to be an advocate and a helper to her. Does my heart good. And I'm THRILLED to hear she'll be heading to Belleville soon... closer to a whole nother supply of helpers, plus nurses who know here and treat her like famliy. Happy me.
I heart Vamps too. I feel like I should be in a support group. "Hi, my name is Kim, and even though I"m a working professional, I can't put down the Twilight Series." My friends brought 3 of the 4 books to me here during a visit, and I devoured all three in less than 2 days. Patrick wasn't amused since I couldn't even feign conversation during that time. They are stupid addicting. I"m twitching a little waiting for the 4th to be mailed. ;) I highly support you getting addicted too. I also burned through all the Harry Potters prior to leaving for Haiti. It was my "check out of reality" treat to help battle the nerves of the big change on the horizon. So I am an official dork. :)
