Almost Spring!
Five days to spring, yay! I didn't get to enjoy the winter quite as much as I had hoped (meaning, I didn't get to ski much) but I'm ready for the warm weather. As part of my new budget, I quit the gym, so I'm really looking forward to getting out on some trails and such.
Some things have happened since my last post. First, my grandpa had a second surgery just a week or so after my last post to repair the incision to his stomach, and was unable to pull through. A few days after the surgery, he was still unable to breathe on his own, so my dad and his siblings made the hard choice to take him off the ventilator. I do have to say, seeing him laying there in the casket completely pain free made me feel so relieved. He just looked so peaceful and happy. He had color again in his face, not the gray ashen color he had before (it's amazing what makeup can do, lol!). And he was retaining so much water toward the end that he looked like he'd lost about 30 pounds. Yes, it was very sad and I miss him so much already. But I know that he was ready to go, and now his pain is gone.
The day after my grandpa's funeral, my dad had his gall bladder removed. Talk about everything happening at once! His gall bladder so was badly infected that he ended up having to stay in the hospital for a few days, but he seems better now.
Things are going pretty well now. I'm on this new budget to hopefully get my student loan and car paid off in a year, but it's already starting to hurt. I keep looking around my house thinking of all the stuff I want to do. I just need to keep telling myself that in a year I'll have all this extra money to do it. So as long as life doesn't happen, I should be ok! ;)
