| | When it rains, it pours. Well, here in southern Ohio it's raining off and on today, so I guess it's an exception. Family and friend life is interesting of late but not overwhelming. Please pray for my great aunt in Michigan who is having kidney and infection issues. I don't pray for any outcomes to change, but I do ask for the strength for all family members who will have to deal with whatever comes. My aunt's husband has dementia and I don't see things happening easily.
I learned all of this when I didn't answer the phone when my grandmother called. Later I talked to my dad, who had talked to her, and he filled me in. Then I left a message for Grandma offering to drive her wherever and to help her with computer issues. My dad had other news too, though. He's in Missouri visiting his mother and my mother (shoulder surgery stuff; that's going really well, by the way). He up and bought a truck! It's a used basic model Ford Ranger - manual transmission, nothing frilly or fancy. I guess he's been talking about it for a while as a car to supplement his little used old BMW when the weather is less than favorable, but stuff like this always seems to happen out of the blue. I'm glad he's doing what he wants to do.
Tonight hubby and I are meeting another couple at the local comedy club, where I got free tickets. This week is book club on Monday but no yoga Tuesday. Then this weekend we're planning on going 3.5 hours northeastish to visit friends for a fun food festival and hanging out. Hubby will have to rework his work schedule because his manager apparently forgot that she had granted him leave for both Saturday and Sunday. No, they don't call it leave, but as a former Air Force brat with an enlisted brother I'm close to and a good friend who's a sailor, I still find myself using the lingo.
I'd apologize for the boringness of today's blog, but
a) it's quite a contrast from my last one, which few people wanted to touch (partially, I'm sure, because I haven't been a very good visitor or commenter myself lately) and
b) it's my journal  . Some days I'm philosophical, some whimsical, a few confrontational, and days like today I just need to catalogue what's going on for posterity and personal understanding.
Peace, y'all
