Back to the grind...

I went home to see the family Saturday morning. It was kind of hard seeing my grandma like she was. She looked very weak and definitely not like her normal self. Mom said that’s she’s started looking better the past couple of days though. I think if she would start eating she could build her strength back up and she could pull through some of this. It’s sad to say but it’s almost as though she’s to the point of giving up.

I’m kind of frustrated with my parents right now. They, as of last night, had still not called to inform my dad’s brother that she’s even sick. I have fussed at them greatly and hope that I was a little bit successful in getting them to call them.

Their reasoning has to do with the fact that my dad’s brother is in a bit of a financial situation right now and they don’t want them to just take my grandmother’s house and run through the money that she has saved up. I can understand that… but at the same time I try to put myself in his shoes and I’d definitely want to have the opportunity to spend what time I could with my mom before she passed.

I helped my lil bro fill out his college applications before I came back to Charlotte. I’ve got to find a way to motivate this boy. He expects everyone to do this shit for him. But, hopefully he will have his applications in to State, Wilmington, and UNCC – possibly even Clemson and UVA in the next couple of weeks.

When I got back to Charlotte a friend came over that I hadn’t seen in a long time. TOO LONG! It was really nice. We just watched movies till about 2 or 3 am… talked him into spending the night… and went and ate breakfast this morning. I hope we continue hanging out… and more often too.

But now I’ve got to get busy… so much to do today. Thank God Tyke called a while ago and I don’t have to go into work this afternoon… just have to go in at 6am in the morning. But that’s all good.

I’m in a great mood today!!! Thanks Will. ; )
