Even though the reason behind my last few days off was not so pleasant, part of the time I pretended it was a vacation. And now it is the end...
My gramma is doing well; one less breast, but still the same beautiful and wonderful woman, nonetheless!
Sutures come out next week and most of it will be behind us. *knock on wood*
Not much else to say today, no freaky poetry or anything. Think I'll go finish another novel. I've managed to read four so far over the last few days and nights.
It is easy to plow through books when thoughts overwhelm you and sleep eludes you. The next day you are quite sluggish, but ah the cycle continues....
I went on a date with this guy last week to a kareoke bar. He got smashed; serenaded me with Iggy Pop's "lust for life" and pissed in the alley...now this damn commercial is using that song as an ad campaign....arggg...i just want to forget that night...lol
It was a great day today. Gram and I went to a quilt show, which made her so very happy! I did think as we were walking around that a gothic/vampire type quilt would be so awesome. There were a couple "unique" designs, that I heard the older ladies commenting about ...negatively...lol. I guess going against the grain is not a good thing in quilting!
Then I took Gram on the tour of the woolin mill and its grounds. Wow! It was something else. Gram worked at one of these mills in Illinois as a young lady. I remember her telling me how hard the work was. They made plaid or tartan fabric she had said. Today I saw her relive memories. She told me stories, and did get upset since she can't really speak any longer. But I try to understand what she means and mostly I do. I can't imagine 25 years of not being able to communicate. My Gramma is so awesome!
I bought her a spindle of thread like she used back in the day. It made her smile and laugh. On the way home we saw an entire arc of two separate rainbows! One was dim and the other so bright it was utterly blinding! I almost drove off the road several times trying to keep seeing it.
Thanks to the heavens for the wonderful day with my Gramma and for bestowing the beauty of the rainbows upon us.
The next week will be very hard. Gramma will have a lot of pain, physical and emotional. I pray those rainbows stay in her heart and soul and bring her peace in the trying times ahead.
