Another ped day

How odd that the last time I posted was while it was snowing, and a ped day. Today's another ped day, and it's snowing again! The school staff coincidentally has good timing with their ped days, lol. Another reason it's good timing...I'm sick! Headache and an upset stomach, and I'm pretty tired. Just a bug, I'm sure, as my husband seems to have come down with one as well, and many other people I've come into contact with this past week are also sick, but still...of course I'm anxious. I have my next blood test in exactly one week, so I'm eager for it to hurry up and come so I can hurry up and get it over with. Hopefully all will be well so I can enjoy my last week of work and then relax for the holidays.

Speaking of snow, I see in my last post that I mentioned how snow freaked me out. Luckily, I've since gotten over that. I think it was just the initial reaction to seeing snow again for the first time since I had gotten sick. I'm OK with snow now. :)

On a less OK note, my grandmother passed away last week. It was very sudden, so that's good, at least...I was worried, since she was getting old, that her health would start to deteriorate to the point that she'd end up in the hospital for a long time where she'd deteriorate even more. After spending so much time in the hospital this year, I just didn't want that to happen to her. I mean, I'd never want that to happen to her (or to anyone else for that matter) anyway, but now that I know what it's like, that feeling has only increased one trillionfold. It's funny how many people say they hate hospitals when they've never even hospitalized long-term. You think YOU hate hospitals? Haha. Go through what I did. It's so much worse than you can ever imagine. It's awful. However horrible you think it may be, imagine that, but 100 times worse. So, I'm glad she just died suddenly and didn't go through that shit.

After all these years, I still think EVERY DAY about what a luxury it is to walk around my own home in bare feet and feel the wooden floor b...
