Fucking next door neighbors. So noisy and rude. I cannot sleep. BIG SURPRISE there! -
Doctor Who spoilage
I liked this doctor. He was suave and debonaire. Too bad he did not stick around for another season...since they are already seeing the second season across the pond. Steve ordered the complete season back in April. We are such goobs. And Captin Jack has his own spin off. YAY! -

Today, we went back over to get the Scott's spreader and a bunch of tools. I snagged grandpa's German dictionaries. I figure since he always asked why the hell I was learning Russian, I better learn Spanish and German as well. Steve got some tools he did not have and I got a very old stamp set that Is mounted in wood. Somthing I would not have ( Read more... ) -

Next time I think I do not have a friend in the world and I am feeling my worst, I will look at all of the responses to the post about my grandma's death. That proves I do have people that give a damn whether I live or die.
Thank you all for being "there" for me even if there is cyberspace -
My day
So...day one of the funeral process is over. Visitation was okay and I saw a lot of my dad's friends. Dad is having a hard time, but who would not be if they found their mom kneeling next to her hospital bed, purple and icy cold to the touch. God, why did it have to be my dad? Why couldn't it be a hospice worker or someone prepared for this? He is ( Read more... ) -

Dad and I have been hanging out together for the last couple days. We went to see Over the Hedge today. No matter what, he keeps thinking about his mom and how he found her and what she looked like. I keep thinking that all my favorite relatives are dead now. Dad and I are breaking away from the family after this all shakes out. We also priced hot ( Read more... ) -
Thanks
A very large thanks to everyone who offered their condolances. If you want to send flowers etc, her visitation is at Locke on Sunday and her service is Monday at Westminister Church on Kimball in Waterloo, IA. My dad is taking this hard. I just remind myself that she was living with pain that I cannot even imagine. She had endured enough.
