So after the New York trip, came back home. David and Marissa were visiting, so I made sure to hang out with them over break. My dad and I picked David up from the Green Line and he slept in the back room for a few days. He gave me a KILLER massage (after begging the world for one since the first week of soccer season! lol)
Hung out with David, kept lifting, and then hung out with Jaz, Mar, Te, and David downtown. We went to the Kerasotes theatre to see Limitless – amazing movie, but had too many puke scenes for me to want to see it again. Hung out at a Baskin Robins/Dunkin Doughnuts for a few hours just talking. Really fun. Rachel F. visited Chicago for a day, but I didn’t end up hanging out with them and didn’t get to see her. My roommate Adele was also in town and was staying in a hotel downtown, but I didn’t see her either cause she was busy with her family and me with mine. But it’s alright – I would see them both in less than a week.
Went to a Lady Eagles soccer game in the middle of their losing streak with hopes of my presence being a good luck charm. Anali showed up too and we had a reunion (and they won the game. HA!) Got to see all my socca girls! it was great and FREEZING (what the hell Chicago?!)
Having some major family issues. In short, Karen’s being more stubborn than usual and not saying/doing the brightest things and spends all of her time on the computer. Grandma’s having a hard time on her own and in moving into a nursing home. Over break, she slipped in her apartment and fell. But the problem is that she is so weak that she wasn’t able to get up at all, and basically laid in the same spot by the foot of her bed for 1 and a half days. Couldn’t reach a phone to call for help, wasn’t near any food, etc. For over a day. After my dad discovered her in the apartment 2 days later, we took her to the emergency room where they held her there for a few days and they recommended physical therapy. When we visited her, she could hardly talk and couldn’t move on her own. Poor Grandma.
ISo now its back to school, with all these unresolved matters back at home. How can I keep an eye on Grandma from over here and leave things with my sister and parents as they are?
