1. I’m supposed to drive to my grandma’s today.  Actually, I was supposed to go yesterday, but the snow (more snow!  Arrgh!) delayed me.  It was probably for the best, though it’s going to snow more (aargh!) today.  I’ve done the 100-mile drive in the snow before, and, let me tell you, it’s NOT fun.

2. My grandma came home from the hospital yesterday.  She seems to be OK, up and about.  The pneumonia is gone, and the rehab work did her some good.  But she’ll still never be over the underlying condition.  And she’ll never again be the grandma I remember.

3. Some days, it’s no fun being married to a railroader.  Most days I don’t notice.  But days like today, when he’s technically on duty, they could call him in at any time to work, even though none of the trains in his depot are running today.  They may need help elsewhere, which is, unfortunately, 50 miles north of here.  Kind of makes it difficult to make plans.  Needless to say, we’re bringing all of his gear along just in case he gets called in and has to drive home.

4. Snow, snow, and more snow.  I’m nervous about getting to the airport safely on Saturday, and being able to fly out.  TONS of flights have been cancelled here in the last few days and weeks due to the snow.

5. No snow tomorrow, fortunately.  That makes the drive home a little better.

6. We’ll be spending Christmas without either of my uncles.  I’m hoping my aunt will join us tonight.  She’s the one married to the uncle that recently died.  It’s going to be awful to have Christmas without him.

7. The other uncle is stuck Up North where he lives – they’re apparently expecting blizzard conditions today, and he’s not willing to make the drive today.  He and my cousins will be at my grandma’s tomorrow, but we’ll be leaving, so we’ll miss them.

Why, yes, I AM back in therapy.  Good thing too.  This is getting to be too much to deal with.
