Just When You Thought Things Couldn’t Get Worse

‘You can have anything you want if you want it desperately enough. You must want it with an inner exuberance that erupts through the skin and joins the energy that created the world.” ~Sheila Graham
 
 
Well, Angel leaves for the airport in an hour and twenty minutes. She is with one of her friends right now, spending a little time with her before she leaves. I was going to take Angel to the airport, but her friend really wants to take her. So they will leave in a little bit.
 
Once they leave, I’ll head to the city to the North to see Kat. Kat is in the hospital. Jimmy, her boyfriend, called me last night to see if I had noticed that she was limping. I said that I don’t remember seeing her limping, but the two times I saw her, she wasn’t walking. Well, come to find out that when she arrived at home that night she had a large blue bump on her leg. It was painful when she walked so Jimmy took her to the hospital. Turns out that she has a blood clot in her leg. They say this is a common side effect of birth control pills and they think that is why Kat has it. She is in the hospital, with blood thinners. They say that she should be fine, but if part of the clot breaks off, there could be problems. They are keeping her there until Monday. I will go up there and visit her and spend a little time with her. This way, Jimmy can go home and take a shower. I doubt that he has left her side. Those two are so funny.
 
When I got off of the phone with Jimmy last night, I called my mom to ask her about this. We talked for a little bit and then she told me that my grandmother had passed away yesterday. Okay, this is really getting too stressful for me. I am not real close to this grandmother, she is my step-grandfather’s wife. I loved her as a little kid, and as I grew older, her dementia became worse. When grandpa passed on when I was in high school, her daughter kind of took over and I didn’t see her since then. I will miss her, but I kind of feel like I lost her when I lost grandpa. I know this sounds horrible and heartless, but her dementia was horrible and her daughter kind of made it difficult for the family to see her.
 
I find that the week has progressed and I’m not real happy with the progression, but it has taught me something. I was so worried about what I was going to do this evening. However, the truth of the matter is, I’m so exhausted and stressed out that I might buy a bottle of cheap champagne, drink it, relax and go to bed. I’m not even sure if I’m going to stay up till midnight. We shall see.
 
I am looking forward to tomorrow when I can go on a long walk. Oh, that will be nice. I want to wish everyone a great new year and I hope that this year is great to you all.
