Florida Is Hell On Earth

What a disgusting place. The humidity is over 70% full time and the temps are in the 80’s by 8am. Saw my grandfather yesterday afternoon. He is alert but very frail. It is quite painful to see him like this. We will spend the day with him today. We had ill dealings with the Marriott […]

Went to Elements for brunch this morning. Called my grandfather who is sounding very well. Had an exquisite breakfast!

The Rest of the Day

Brunch was excellent. Called my grandfather and he sounds strong. That always makes me happy. Now out to the deck where Naomi will take in some sunshine and I will move the grill to a new home and continue power washing the deck. We will barbecue later, too!

Sunday Success!

We went to Elements for brunch this morning and had the pleasure of sitting in the Cube. Was a lovely meal – we both had French toast. I called my grandfather as is customary on Sunday. He sounded hearty and strong, cheerful and laughing. A huge relief that he is doing so well. The weather […]

Last full day in Florida

Author: , March 31st, 2010

Today we have the special pleasure of spending time at the dentist with my grandfather. Did I mention how much I hate Florida? Tonight we are going out to dinner with Naomi’s cousin to thank him for letting us stay in his apartment. Tomorrow we depart for Savannah, and not a moment too soon.

Made Some Adjustments

Delaying the trip to FL because my grandfather is out of the hospital and into rehab. Got agreement about code direction for the next couple of days. Mounted the rest of the displays on the wall. Now have anti-glare screens where they need to be. Code is moving along.

Good News!

Rough Night

Had to take meds to sleep and then woke up crying a few times. Obviously I am scared that we will not get to Florida in time to see him before… Was supposed to visit client this am, but not going. Going to prep for recording session this afternoon, and then bury myself in coding […]

Bad news, good news

Got a call from my mother this morning telling me that my grandfather was in the hospital for unknown reasons. THAT is SCARY. He is 91, and his health is starting to fail. It made for a rough day. Fortunately, she called later in the day to tell me that it was due to an […]
