Really settling in

Finally, about 95% unpacked, and all that's left are the straggler, "I don't know why the hell I've carried this shit around for ten years" boxes. Of course, those will all be carefully stored away until, or IF, I ever have the courage.....er, energy.....errrrr, TIME....to go through them and rid myself of all their fluff, errrrrr, memories.....errrrrr, SHIT!!! LOL!!!

Anyway, Meme (my injured grandma) is settling nicely in. She seems to really be enjoying the company. She's 87 and from the south, a rather proper lady in her time, so it REALLY surprised me to hear her laugh heartily the other night. But even FUNNIER was what she SAID. She was sort of commenting on how warm her heaters had made her part of the house, and she said, "well, that's alright. After all, I AM one hot mama!!!" Well, of course, I was shocked!!! After all, it's my GRANDMA for heaven's sake!!! But THEN, in the bedroom, she dropped her hankerchief, and said, "Oh dear, I've dropped it. Well, that's alright. Afterall, I AM one hot mama, and we hot mamas always end up having to bend over one way or the other." OMGosh!!!!! I could NOT believe she said that. Then she blushed, and REALLY laughed, and I blushed and laughed with her. She thoroughly enjoyed the shock value of it all, seeing me with my jaw dropped open at her folly!!!! It was hilarious!!! I haven't heard her really laugh like that for months and months!!!

I have to admit, I am enjoying caring for her more than I thought I would. I mean, I've always known that it would be a blessing for me to be able to care for her someday. But when it actually came time to do it, I was sort of dreading it. Now I think I was just dreading the move, because I don't mind doing the things that must be done...making her bed every morning, making her meals, doing her wash, doing her dishes, making sure her part of the house stays tidy etc. And it's so cute, she seems to really like being tucked in at night, and kissed on the forhead. LOL!!! I actually like it too!
