How are you spending this Memorial Day? How will it differ from Memorial Days past?
i decided to use the question of the day to update on my life at the moment.
seems like i have been here before.
im spending my memorial day in the hospital.
my nana, my mom's mom, had a stroke yesterday and here we are again.
in february my dad's mom had a stroke.
seems like we need to spend more emphasis on stroke prevention here people.
well i've been reading some prevention tips, and my nana was doing none of them, i too need some stroke prevention.
i get a lot of time to think while im here. although my brain is not too clear. it's jumpy. a lot of ideas though if i could stick with them.
i'm supposed to be heading to the boro in a few days to start my work at governor's school again, now that i think about it that was the main reason i started this blog a year ago...time flies. even when you are not having fun.
this stroke seems to be a bit worse than the one my dad's mother had. my nana was also a lot weaker than my granny, so maybe that could also have something to do with it.
she found out about 8 weeks ago she has cancer. she doesnt want to do any sort of chemo or treatment due to the fact that she has seen first hand with her husband, my pap, how chemo affects you. plus i dont think she was ever really strong enough to do so. she also had a duct stopped up and had a stint put in, thus the reason we found out about the cancer.
i heard today that the cancer may have spread into her bones.
she has pancreatic like cancer. which can be so very painful so we are all thankful that she is not in pain. pancreatic problems run in my family. yay.
the stroke has affected her speech and the right side of her body, she cannot speak nor move that side. she loves to talk so i'm sure this is annoying her.
seems like i say 'seems' too much.
nothing good has ever happened to me on a holiday related to independence.
my dad's best friend died on july 4 a few years back.
so i shall no longer celebrate this crap.
no time negative nancy.
God works in mysterious ways.
let's say some prayers.
please and thank you.
life is really hard.
why doesn't anyone warn you?
i am about tired of it.
i need to do something.
but i'm lazy
and that's why life kicks my A
thus explaining the lack up posts, other than the occasional photo from my phone.
i don't like how they added all that verizon crap either. wtf.
a few things going 'round...
i'm trying to get motivated, oh wait that's nothing new.
i'm working on a few projects for some friends. making a little money here and there.
that's what i said i wanted to do, make money from making things.
i think i want to go back to the barter system. that would also help weed out the worthless people. i bet they are the ones making tons of money for big companies. i hope not.
my dad got a new puppy. a black lab that goes by Macy. she's mellow and sweet, reminds me of Daisy. my step brother also brought home a great dane. biggest dog i've ever seen in my life. so it's funny seeing the puppy and the two-year old beast. the beast is a chicken which is even funnier. i enjoy humor in life.
i finally went to get the massage my mom got me for my birthday. it was pleasant until she told me about all my problems just from looking at my feet. listen lady, i dont need you reminding me that i'm stressed.
not working is nice. except i'm mildly lazy, but taking care of my grandmothers keeps me plenty busy.
dad's ill right now. but he told me thats just part of the process. should get better and then just get worse. he is far stronger than i. i don't want him to be in pain but i still feel selfish and want to keep him here. life is blah.
i'm in need of some good news.
speaking of...igoogle has changed my life. i need to get up on the times, i know. but wow. amazing.
i have been forgetting everything so sorry if i have forgotten you.
just remind me.
well i think it's time for a nap.
