Not So Bad

I had the most fun with my family last night than I'd had in a long time. We had a belated Thanksgiving at my house. We ate, hung out, played video games and I got to see my nephew and niece. We were busy up til about 11 last night, but it was sooo worth it. I actually felt relaxed. It was a good feeling.

I'm going later this morning to see my nephew in the Christmas parade downtown. His karate school is in it every year. This is his 2nd yr. He's grown so fast. He's 10 and up to my shoulder. My niece is 15 mo old and says a bunch of stuff. She was quite the ham last night. We just had so much fun.

I missed my father, but knew he'd be happy that we were together. I know he sees and watches us. I just miss conversations with him and hugs. I imagine I always will. He's always with me though. My grandma on the other hand is experiencing something that's baffling us all. She's normally quite mentally sharp and goes to church and things. Here lately she's repeating herself, saying things that make no sense and getting rid of things just because she feels like it.

She has dr. appts. next week to investigate this, but it does concern me. I haven't been good on the communication part as I should, but I want to improve that. She's the only living grandparent I have left. She'll be 81 in April. She's an interesting woman but I am worried about what's going on.

Other than that, I have enjoyed the time off. I need to get some more Christmas shopping done. Don't want to put that off. Gonna keep Christmas simple this year. No worries there....

Well, I'm up wayy too early so I'm going to go back to sleep before I have to be up. Things are getting better. I think they just might be.
