So.....why am I not asleep yet? I worked today, I actually fell asleep around dinnertime, and I've been tired enough to pass out for the past few hours. Feels like I've hit some kind of wall though.
A word about my work week, then on to my grandmother - I got six days this week, I think to make up for when I got screwed out of working Jew night the other week. Weird thing is, there's another Jew night this week....but I didn't get it. I even volunteered when my boss asked who wanted to work it. So somehow, I'm opening 5 times this week, closing once, I have one day off, and I don't work Jew night (I open that day). So maybe OT, but no mad late Jew-boy nights. Weird. Between this week and next, I open five days in a row. That's five solid days of being up by 6:30...I don't know if I'm conditioned for this. I guess I will be.
My grandmother broke her arm today. She says her sandal slipped on the stairs, my aunt says she was upset and headed for some kind of accident - the blame is being placed on my dad's cousin's shoulders. There's some family stuff involving a house here, you know how that is...but that's the back story that I don't think I'm supposed to know about. I've never really seen my grandmother down like this, the most I've ever seen her afflicted with is a cold. It sucks, to see her weakened like this. She's human after all, not a superhero who provides zuccini cake and Stop & Shop ads. My other grandmother passed on a few months back, but sad enough to say, it was expected. This grandmother, though the same age, has always been hearty and healthy if a little crazy. Seeing my parents, aunt and uncle so protective of her, and of my grandfather, puts things into a new perspective. My grandparents are elderly, and they just can't do all the stuff they used to do. My secret hope/wish is that they're here to see me get married. So that means they have to stick around for the next....30 years or so. Or 10. Geez, 10? That's not very long at all.
Back to school in three weeks, back to class in four....still waiting to hear on if I get into a (full) class I need. Regardless, I have Fridays off, and am planning to work a couple days ever other week at Lake Compounce. I've never stayed the whole season before, so this should be interesting.
Had.....intriguing dreams the other night. I don't know if that's the right word. They brought up some things I had been trying to avoid consciously thinking about, right up in full color, surround sound, feels too real mode. I woke up mad at the person I was dreaming about, because of what they did in the dream. No, more importantly I stayed kinda mad for a little while. Lately I've been.....no, I'm gonna say too much for a blog. I shouldn't write this late at night. I need to think. Or not think. One of those is sure to work.
