Grandma

I love my grandma. She will be 85 tomorrow, but we celebrated her birthday today. It is getting harder and harder to visit her because she is feeling the effects of old age in both her physical health and her mental health. We still have normal conversations and we still play card games and Scrabble, but she is starting to really struggle with these things she has done her whole life. It is very hard to watch because she and my mom and I are so much alike, so it's like seeing where I could be at in 50 some odd years. And it is hard because she is the only grandparent I have ever really had. When I was driving her home tonight she said the family needs to start taking things from her place because she won't always be around for that stuff and she wants to know where her things end up. While I know she won't always be around, that is something I don't like to think about. When I do think about it, my eyes start to well up. I love my grandma very much and I am so thankful for the time we've been able to spend together over the years.

Goodbye EV, Hello life

I swiped out for the last time today. I turned in my card, my key, and my stamp, hugged co-workers goodbye, and walked out. I have no regrets in taking the job at EV and I have no regrets in leaving it. I met some wonderful people who I will miss seeing on a regular basis, but I know I will see some of them outside of work still. As I was driving towards the main road, I had one somewhat sad moment: I would not see the amazing view of the sun coming over the mountains as I leave work in the mornings. I will, however, have many opportunities to see both sunsets and sunrises in new places. I am already enjoying knowing that I will be on a normal sleep schedule again after 2 years of switching between sleeping during the day when I worked and during the night on my weekends. While my overtime at EV is paying off now, I am hopeful that I will soon be working for a company that will allow me to have a set schedule. I look forward to this next part of my journey.

CSI

What is it with this show? I can sit and watch it for hours. It's more addicting than facebook! Even if it's episodes I've seen recently I will still sit there and watch it. If there was channel CSI, I would likely be a subscriber. For the amount that I watch it, I can't believe I still have a lot of episodes to watch. Maybe one day I will invest in buying the series. I know most of the show is not flimed in Vegas, but I wonder if I can find a CSI jacket or something while I'm there...

Update?

I want to update, but I don't know what to write, so I leave you with this:

I have a headache.
I want a McFlurry.
I need a job.
I am excited about Vegas.
I want more, yet I am content.

Well, there's a 1/2 hour left before I check out the new 90210. Just enough time to go get that McFlurry...
