a better day…in other words
york, pa
grandma seems much happier and more lively today. she's using her favourite phrase, "in other words" pretty much constantly. that's how I know she's doing better.
we had a nice breakfast on her screened in porch. while we were eating, she received a phone call from her sister-in-law who lives two hours away. after their chat, she announced that tomorrow after we go to church, we're definitely going to visit her relatives and friends who are two hours away.
so i called a hotel and made reservations for us. then we went out to do errands. she was very happy with our shopping since i read prices to her and found everything quickly, even though I hadn't been to the stores for a very long time.
we've spent a lot of time eating and talking today. i'm definitely eating healthier and smaller meals. right now i'm starving, mostly because we ate at 5:30! oh well, it's gonna be a great way to lose a little weight and detoxify my system.
grandma's been telling me lots of stories, some of which i've heard before, some which are completely new. it's pretty neat to be here and have so much access to her.
she's also been giving me her opinions on many things. the political stuff, well, I just let her talk even though i definitely don't agree with her political viewpoints. the religious stuff, well, it's so important to her. again, I don't agree that christianity is the only way to go, but it makes her very, very happy.
and grandma spent a little time sleeping. i chatted with my cousin who's in the navy and my other cousin who we'll visit on wednesday. and i read a bunch of magazines. it was nice to have a relaxing afternoon.
right now, grandma is calling friends that she wants to visit. they're surprised – and delighted – that she is coming to visit. and so is she.
