but I am not, I am over here writing. I am the queen of procrastination. RAW’s mom is the opposite. I don’t think procrastination is even in her vocabulary. I think I should learn something from her.
It was Thanksgiving the other day. Just like last year we did the choreographed family transfer. On Wednesday RAW comes to work with Hollace (who was off most of last week) and we have lunch. He then leaves for Fort Wayne and Hollace and I go home. I work the afternoon at home. On Thursday morning, Hollace and I head out to Crown Point and RAW and his mom head to Crown Point and we converge on my parents. We eat. RAW, Hollace and Dorothy then head out to the hotel where Hollace and RAW use the swimming pool. I hang at mom’s for a bit longer before heading out to the hotel to meet them. The next morning we hit the hotel breakfast then we all head back to mom’s where RAW and his mom say goodbye and head back to Fort Wayne and me and Hollace hang out.
This year apparently I never let anyone in on my plans on staying in Crown Point Friday and leave Saturday morning. I wanted to give Sherry a proper visit. I met her for lunch on Friday. Between her, mom and RAW, everyone thought I was leaving on Friday. I guess they can’t read minds.
Of course after I let them all know of my plans I had second doubts about staying LOL. Maybe I should leave Friday evening. In the end I didn’t. Me and Hollace went to Sherry’s and watched a movie. We came home and watched a movie with mom. We left this morning and are now home, home.
It sucks seeing everyone get so old. Mom’s kitchen and dining room are really hallways. With my big dad and his cane and grama and her walker, it was hard to move around.
Next weekend I will be back in Crown Point but this time the four Fortuna daughers reunite. Paula comes to town and Pam, Cindy and I are all going to hang with her at mom’s. Sleeping at mom’s is next to miserable where there is more then one of us. There is only one good bed to sleep in. The other two beds up stairs are original–35 year old beds and mattresses. The last time I sleep on one of those I was so afraid the whole bed would collapse and I would of been horrified. Another time I slept on one of those beds, I woke with a bad back that took 2 weeks to recover from. Tonight I bought a 4-1 Coleman air mattress. We need something here at home so I felt justified in the purchase. I keep a queen size air mattress at mom’s but it sucks so to speak. It isn’t comfortable and loses air so I don’t like it.
Well, my daughter is officially spoiled rotten mainly because I am. I just got a new iPod touch. My other one is only a year old but I had less then 2 gig of space left on it and I got tired of deleting stuff so I got a 64 gig one. If they had that size a year ago I would of bought it then but 32 gig was the biggest and I knew I was going to be a tad bit small. Of course getting this one means Hollace gets my old one and she is beyond thrilled. She is always trying to comandeer mine. Now starts the chain reaction of computer events to get what she wants on it on it.
First I need to reformat the other computer and reinstall everything. Then get the stuff off her old iPod on that computer. I don’t really want to mess with it but it has to be done. That computer is driving RAW and Hollace nuts because it is slow and messed up. But I don’t want to get Hollace’s touch all set up there if I am only going to be formatting.
I suppose I better get that process started then I will get started on my Xmas card.
