Today is the very last Saturday of the year. It also marks another year anniversary of losing my grandma. It’s been well over 20 years now. It really has no effect on me because I have gotten used to it. Still I will never forget seeing her lucid on the 27th and being able to talk with her. Then to be told on the 28th that she passed, it was really a big blow for me. I didn’t understand it.
Death is something that I have struggled with my entire life. Why it happens? Why are we born to die? What really happens when you die? Yeah, I know your heart stops and you turn blue. It is just something that has bothered me. I have seen a lot of death in my 42 years of walking the earth. Losing a classmate or a classmate losing a parent kind of brings it all home. It’s one of those wake up calls that when it happens to someone you know, you think geez I should really get it together. It’s a reminder to treat people as you wish to be treated, etc.
Well I spent a part of my day in bed. I managed to wake up with a sore neck and I didn’t feel the best. I got some moist heat on it and now it feels better. I forced myself to take a nap and that helped.
I went to the pharmacy only to learn that they had issues with the vet finding my name so the medicine won’t be ready until Monday. Just what I wanted to avoid. Okay so be it. Got the mail and the guy from yesterday car is still on the lot. Came home, put all of the things I took out of my car back in. Since I will be driving it for a while and not leaving it at a shop.
Treated myself to Red Lobster tonight. Got a cute waiter and had some good fish. Plus I made room for desert. Their carrot cake is the best. Paid cash for it, felt really good.
Came back home talked with my brother, we are supposed to go out tomorrow for a bite. I am not really up for it on a Sunday but it was his next day free. If I feel really bad tomorrow I will cancel and we will have to do it next week some time.
I have to go to the grocery store tomorrow, need to get food for lunch and supper as well as see if I can find something special for New Years Day. Looking forward to another 5 days off that will feel really good but the time does go by really fast.
The children are going to be lost come Monday and Tuesday. Then I will confuse them on Wednesday. I really hate that but it is what it is. Work is piling up for me, lots of e-mail asking for help or needing me to do something. I just hope for two quick days and then adios I am in the wind for 5 long days.
I didn’t go see any movies, even though I wanted to. I just got lazy about it and not wanting to drive, etc. I have seen lots of good stuff right here in my own home some free other stuff I had to pay for but it was worth it. Good times spent being with the kids and watching them all sleep.
Well it’s time to turn in for the night and get some more heat for the neck. It’s starting to act up again. I hope you enjoyed the Last Saturday of the year. Talk with you peeps again soon.
