The past few weeks have been insane...right? Or do I just get too excited over stuff???
Maybe I need to go sit in the forest for a day and just not think or do....
Sometimes things happen in succession and drive a person up the Crazy Wall.
When I got home from CrossFit Friday morning I parked the 'Ru, then walked out late in the afternoon to see this....
By the time I had the 'fake tire' on, Ariel arrived.
Ariel cooked Grandpa his absolute favorite meal on Friday night. Liver and Onions. She pretty much knew how to make it and I assisted.
What a cool young lady. She wanted to celebrate her birthday weekend by cooking a meal she knew Grandpa would love.
Very thoughtful.
Saturday was to be a shopping spree for books that Ariel had in mind to add to her collection. She is a bibliophile. She had spent 3 months working overtime and extra hours to save up for some specific books she had in mind.
With a flat tire and no repair shops open over the weekend, I let her do the driving while I navigated to the stores she wanted to go to.
We wandered Barnes & Noble for hours.
We found a series of books that we both thought would be fun to read--- The Little Old Lady Behaving Badly!
Next she took me to Chick fil A for a late lunch.
We sure had a laugh over this sign-->
We made another stop at Michaels to browse yarn and crafty stuff.
When we turned into the last isle we found Dragons! We both think dragons are cool mythical creatures and Safari makes some really fantastic dragons. Ariel admired one in particular. I picked up one myself and told her to pick 2 as an addition to her birthday gift. I got the white snow dragon...
Having a driver was so nice. I didn't have to do much other than help Ariel get around unfamiliar territory.
Monday was all about getting the car fixed [again], calling in medications, talking to the Palliative Care Nurse, talking to the LP company, and fixing the land line phone issue.
Some days I miss my previous life where I was busy with work and other interests.
These past couple of weeks were wonderful. I had so many things to look forward to.
