Well, I leave tonight. For my trip. But... I just got a call from my mother. My Grandmother had a stroke and is in the hospital. I already bought my ticket and booked my room (a bed in a dorm). So I am going tonight. I can't call her before I go. I want to see her before I go at least. I don't have any details other than her legs are not working. And that she's having tests done all day today. So I'll have to see her when I get back. Only I get back at midnight on Saturday. So it'll be a while and now I'm worried. I can't really tell her sisters while I'm there because I don't want them upset and have them worried.... It's going to be a long bus ride all the way there 11+ hours.
I have a lot on my mind right now. Today is my Grandparents' wedding anniversary. I was going to get my Grandmother some flowers before I left. My Grandfather had a couple of strokes. He had died of a brain hemerage. It was really sad near the end. He forbade my Grandmother to call 9-11 for him because he hated hospitals. My mother was telling me that all my Grandmother keeps saying is that she wants to go home. Her speech is slurred.
Of all the things to have happen the day that I leave for a few days... I'm going to call my mother when I get there to see if there is any more news. See if some test results. I'm so tired right now. Hardly been sleeping. Staying up late at night.
I was so happy up until this point. A friend from when I was a kid... He invited me to a BBQ birthday party. That was nice. I enjoyed it. Watching all the kids running around, playing etc. The food was great, too. Was in Carleton Place.
And this guy I wrote about briefly the other day... Things seem to be going well there. Just it's a long distance thing that I haven't told many people about, yet. It will come as a shock to most. I'm still getting used to the idea myself, but have been happy. So I guess that's all that matters. It's been a long time since I had someone special in my life (who is actually interested in me). If there is anyone else, they haven't told me. So how am I to know?
I gotta do a few things here, before I go. I gotta get it done so I can just feel a tiny bit of relief today before I go. I just want to get everything done. I know there's going to be something I forget to do or to bring. I'm a bit unprepared. Understatement. I didn't book anything until late last night. I pick my ticket up at the bus station. The bus pulls out of the station at 7:30 pm tonight. I get to my destination around 7:00 am. But I don't get to go check in until 5pm so I literally have ALL day to wonder around and find something to do and eat. No doubt I'll be hungry. I'm hungry right now! Already! So I'd better get this stuff done. Going to the bank etc. Gotta get more sleep, too.
