Sometimes, during the summer, I pass the time by creating theme days. Yesterday seemed a perfect day for Indian Day. And when I say Indian Day, I mean Indian from India. India was not always a place I wanted to go. I would like to see it now. I’ve come to really appreciate Indian culture,…
Grandma’s having a rough day today, so I’m going to get dressed and take her out for a bit. She really misses Grandpa. Nothing too exciting today: we’ll go to the pet store, Lowe’s and grocery store. Just gotta get her out of the house. I do miss Grandpa more on days like this. He…
I went back to the gym yesterday. Ugh! It was leg day. My legs are so sore! But it’s a good kind of pain because I did it to myself and I worked through the desire to quit. I wanted to quit so badly. But I did not. I finished the workout and I’m starting…
The exhibit at the Science Center was interesting. First, I saw an IMAX movie called Dream Big. It was about how important engineering is to the world. The world needs more engineers to build structures that can be safe and protect people from natural disasters like earthquakes and typhoons. Check it out! I saw…
These long summer days have me pondering the bigger questions… What is Love? Wow! What a question. Poets throughout time have tried to answer this question. I’m not sure who’s right or who’s wrong. Maybe it’s not as cut and dried as all that. Some say “you have to love yourself first before you can…
Another summer has begun and I am jumping in with both feet. I have lots of fun planned: a beach trip, a visit to the LA Science Center, and of course, my big trip up the coast the San Francisco. In the meantime, I’m organizing and cleaning my house. There is nothing better than coming…
Yesterday, I went to the hair salon and changed my hair back to blonde. Grandma said, “Well, blondes have more fun!” I certainly hope so! I also got some long layers cut too. My hair is uber long now. And I think the blonde looks more natural. This isn’t me, of course. But I did…
The first year after Grandpa’s death was the hardest. I felt like I had my left arm cut off. It took a while before we could start going through his things and giving them away. I did keep a few things back for you both. You each have one of Grandpa’s sweaters and one of…
It all started with a huge lump protruding from his throat. I insisted that Grandma take Grandpa to the doctor. He had been falling a lot too. Grandpa was diagnosed with having Lymphoma – a kind of cancer that infects the lymphatic system. The doctors were not sure how much of his body had been…
Please… DO NOT READ tomorrow’s post until AFTER you worked your shift. In fact, I’m not going to schedule it until after 10pm. That way, I’m sure you are not working when you read this post. This is going to shock and upset you IF you are not already aware of it. If you are…
