Tuesday already?

Seems like my "day off" isn't really a day off at all. I want a vacation!

• I'm grateful that I got to spend time with my grandpa today. 
• I'm grateful that I got to show up and be there for gramps when he needed someone. 
• I'm grateful that I believe what I believe. 
• I'm grateful to have good health.
• I'm grateful to still have all my grandparents.
• I'm grateful I was able to sneak away and go to the noon AA meeting.
• I'm grateful that I got to sleep. I may have wasted my night off doing it, but it sure felt good.
• I'm grateful for my roomie. She did my dishes. Lots of them. 
• I'm grateful for lotion. I love it. 
• I'm grateful for yarn? haha
• I'm grateful for diet Coke. What would my life be like without it? 
• I'm grateful for my dad. He's the best person I know.
• I'm grateful for my grandma. It was so cute to see her kiss my grandpa goodbye today when I picked him up. I love how in love they are, even after all these years. 
• I'm grateful for family. My family.
• I'm grateful I bought a groupon coupon for Dairy Queen a few weeks ago. I used it today and it was well worth it. 
• I'm grateful for Calv. He's a butt head sometimes, but he's so cute when he's sleeping on the pillow next to me. 
• I'm grateful to have an HP that loves everyone. Including me. 
• I'm just grateful today, that's all.

Life is funny sometimes...

Last night my grandma called my cell phone.
Now, to most this would not seem out of the ordinary, but for me it's pretty epic. Last I knew my grandma thought that in order to call my cell phone she had to call from a cell phone too. She doesn't have a cell phone so I don't think she's ever actually called me until tonight. Weird.

Anyway, she called me and I was shocked. She asked me to go to a concert with her because my grandpa wouldn't go with her...typical. I couldn't go to the concert because I had committed to be somewhere else at the same time. I tried to find my grandma a date and it didn't work.

Now it's 10 hours later and I feel awful. I really love my grandma and would have loved to go with her to the concert. I know that I don't have much time left with her (she's old) and I feel sad and a little guilty that I didn't get to go.

The point of this little story is that I wish I could be in like 10 places at once. I mean I could be at the concert, an AA meeting, work, HHW carving pumpkins (which, BTW, was a blast), sleeping, hangin' with Joey, in Vegas, in SLC to go to Lagoon, etc. But instead I get to be in one place. I get to be in Cedar City, Utah, working at a truck stop and crocheting an afghan that I'm going to try to sell on Esty because my sister said that I could make some money.

This week I'm gonna make time to go see my grandma. I don't wanna regret not being able to hang out with her tonight...life is just too short to have regrets, I suppose.

Moral of the story?
Go call/visit your grandma.  (this is a note to self, mostly)
