And back
12 years ago
So yeah, I'm a bit lazy. As always.
In any case, I am back from the US (have been, since Wednesday the 24th) and I am well.
I got back in time to normalize and attend my grandmother's birthday (Friday the 26th) and had a rather Calm weekend.
My grandmother had, as I was told upon my return, been hospitalized a few days after my departure, and had been in and out of institutions and the hospital a couple of times. She is getting better however, and is currently staying at a home for the elderly. We do not yet know where she will go from there. She will possibly be transferred to a home closer to... well... home, and I can visit her after work, as usual.
Because of my trip to the US, I missed my niece's birthday, I bought her a present in the US, and I hope she approves. (Hopefully my brother will too) An uncle's duty to his family is a grave one indeed (haha). I was explicitly told not to get her a stuffed animal, and so I got her a stuffed fungi instead :3. Namely super sized Penicillin (with eyes!). I was thinking about getting her a stuffed tentacle, but I'm not sure what kind of associations that might have given, or how that might develop, when she grows up...
On another sad note that I got upon arrival. One of my horses has to be put down, due to an injury in his leg that won't heal. He is a draft horse, and he wants to work, but because of his injury, he can't. Plus, he is in pain, so the best thing is to end it. We have tried anything, and whatever can be done will rend him useless anyway. It is not the best, but I'll pull through that too.
In any case, I will keep living in the moment, keeping the past with me, but not let it weigh me down.
I hope you all have a good time. :3
