I am happy to report my grandma is home and doing better. Much better than I had hoped, actually. I was worried about her while she was in transitional rehab, but she’s been home for almost a week now and she seems to be doing great. She’s been in great spirits and I think part of that (aside from she’s doing physically better) is that we’ve started watching movies together each day. We’ve watched Little Women, Anne of Green Gables, and some Jane Austen. Watching time period pieces that she really enjoys (I do too) have helped to to lift her spirits. It is fantastic to hear and see her being so happy and agreeable. In the words of Anne, we’re bosom friends. My mom tells me grandma can’t talk stopping about how grateful she is to have me and she likes to say we’re “two peas in a pod.” It makes my heart happy to hear that.
My old friend Stephanie is here for the weekend and I am so happy to see her. Having Steph around makes everything better. There’s thrift store shopping for us today (hoping for some fantastic Pyrex scores!), along with a trip to Moochie’s for the-best-cheese-steak ever, and tonight I will roast chickens for us. Hooray for the weekend!
Glad to hear grandma is doing well. How is the house treating you these days? Digging your new pad? One can never have enough Pyrex.
Might I recommend “The Hangover” for watching with Grandma? Truly funny and much better than I expected, I’m sure it’s right up her alley.
I’m jealous that you’re getting to spend special time with your grandma. I regret not spending more time with mine before they all passed.
Oooh – I’d love to score more Pyrex. Who knew Utah was the Pyrex capital???
