But listen closely, not for very much longer

Shawshank, September 16, 2020

Hey. Hey. You know what day it is? duh, it’s the day before the night before Friday, y’all. Come on, this is all pretty basic information.

I need coffee. It needs to brew faster. Like yesterday.

Speaking of yesterday, my grandmother went to get her nails cut at the nurses office. With COVID happening, they’ve shut that down. They just opened up and this was her first visit back. The nurse noticed that she wasn’t using her walker. My grandmother told the nurse that she can’t use it because she gets stuck every where in the house.

That’s false.

I’ve moved stuff around in just about every room in the house to ensure she can get around with the walker. And trust me, she can fly with that walker. Yesterday my mom was livid. One of the rooms she said she couldn’t get around in was her bedroom. My mom pretty much rage cleaned that room. I moved stuff around, and made it a lot better in there for her.

I think it was about 9 my father called, he said he’d be pulling an all nighter fixing a “straight cut header”. I think it cuts the head off straight or something, so my mom offered to bring out his dinner. We left the house at 10. Mom needed me because she has trouble seeing in the dark. Yeah. As Crystal says, it was a ‘Scent of a Woman’ style road trip.

Lemme tell you; it gets DARK out there. No lights from a city, no street lights. Just pure terror inducing darkness.

I did manage to spot 3 deer, and a mouse, all bolting across the road.

It is a blast to hear the GPS say “in 600 meters, turn left, and travel off road.” Or; “in 250 meters, turn right on to unpaved road.”

Made it home at 11, and fell right to sleep.

I’m feeling so much better than 24 hours ago. Not 100%, but I slept thought the night. It was only around 6ish when I was partially asleep. I was a little tossy turny, but man, I slept through the night. That’s all I wanted. And I didn’t sweat through my…

*yawn* morning everyone. I was out as soon as my head hit the pillow last night. I was beat. But now I’m awake, and possibly ready to greet the day. It’s windy outside. I don’t think it’s snowing, but we have a blowing snow advisory. Ugh, winter is really fighting…

    I think I could get to enjoy that kind of darkness.
