So I Have Been Busy Again
Then I got to see my Uncle who went on hospice and support my aunt. I am so happy my uncle got to witness another Super Bowl win for his beloved Chiefs.
Then I had to turn around after the visit and pack and go to my Great Aunt's funeral back at the lake in my hometown. It was nice to see my cousins and all our family from all over...Texas, Colorado, Ariona, Georgia, Missouri... My sister and my cousins and I rented an Airbnb with a pretty view.
Then we did get to enjoy Super Bowl from our own home, DH and I (and our dogs!),
I have also been lucky enough to enjoy some pretty hikes lately.
I am getting spring fever.
This is what over $100 gets for a funeral now a days. Crazy.

Heavy Weekend
Thursday, drove back up to city to see my terminal ill cousin, she was being helped by her brothers. Her son is an alcoholic and absent. So that has been very hard on her. She said her mother so angry at son, mother (my great aunt) was writing him off.
After that, I drove on up and visited with my Dear Grandmother and took her some cookies. Then took her tax stuff to tax place, got that done. I stayed with my aunt. Had dinner with friend from 3rd grade. She getting married Memorial weekend. So we caught up. Enjoyed chat with my aunt and uncle. Cant believe how uncle failing. He has lost 90 pounds since his fall last August.
Friday I talked to my old project manager. I was a temp fir 11 years. I can still do projects at my old rate. Nothing work from home, unfortunately. Then saw bunch of work friends, then lunch with B and T, my fave.
Friday afternoon visited with aunt and cousin, K1. They got in argument, I tried to help. I failed. I had coffee with friend T. She totally understands this type stuff. By time I got back, aunt was back to normal. I just want no drama, I guess. I can see where my experience can help, but of people dont want to try, justcwsnt to be "right" and not respect boundaries nothing I can do. So I prefer direct my energy where it matters.
Back by DGM and great Aunt on way home. I made changes to GA wishes she had written out ( she is 95), but reminded her her grandson is sick and we prayed God gets through to him. I was honored to try to be there for her such a difficult time st the twilight of her long life.
Tired, spending a day recouping today.
Happy Sunday!

Grateful for people
I am grateful for people in my life. I had a great date night with my DH listen after a busy and productive Sat morning and drive sat afyernoon looking at leaves. Sat morning was cool, but afternoon was pretty. Stayed up way too late, had fun. Saw my 97 yo DGM and her 93 yo SIL (my great aunt) and my fathers cousin. It brought on some painful memories of my dad...but my dad is gone now. I did what I could before he died.
After my busy sunday helping my DGM, i had a healthy early dinner and caught up with my aunts for little while. I didnt get my walk in, rare for a Sun. I will just walk extra this week. Sold a purse and canned some apple pie filling. First time ever made chunky applesauce with cinnamon. Its good. My house is clean. In an hour, bed then another work week...
Trying not to wish my life away too fast! But want winter over and its barely started!
