My dad died when I was 11. After his death I lost touch with my aunt and uncle (my only close family on his side), even though before that we had been pretty close. At the time we lived near my aunt and her husband and we would see them all the time. And my [...]

my weekend – not what I had planned
So I had planned to drive down to my mom’s after work on friday, visit grandpa in the hospital that night, and then on saturday morning go see Puffin at the kennel, and then after that go see Erin at her foster mom’s house. That was the plan.

hump day
So today is hump day. The middle of the work week.

They (the doctors and nurses) have made [...]

sometimes you just don’t know if they will be there tomorrow….
The reason I haven’t been posting much is because my grandpa is in the hospital. I just haven’t felt motivated to talk about much of anything.
In my post last week (on 6-18 ) I said that he was in a hospital out of state with pneumonia, and that he was released from that hospital and was coming [...]

yeah, I suck at new routines….
I planned to meditate after my shower last night. Neither of those things happened. I didn’t get my shower, and I didn’t meditate.
There is, however, a good reason. My mother called when I was driving home. Apparently my cousin called her in a very fragile emotional state (he’s attempted suicide before), so she called me to [...]
