I'm so happy it's Friday. So. Happy. Anyone have anything exciting planned?
I'm supposed to go out for drinks with a couple of friends tonight, but I am still stuffy and snotty and blowing my nose every three seconds, so I'm going to play it by ear. Frankly, the couch, my sweats, and take-out sounds about perfect right now. But since I was the one who invited everyone out weeks ago, I will probably at least try to make it for one drink.
Tomorrow, I think we may try to go to a movie. We'll see. And Sunday, nothing planned. I'm so looking forward to relaxing.

We are heading back down to CT to see H's family. H's grandfather is ill and in hospice - we've been down almost every weekend for the past 2 months. I am really tired of driving back and forth (I also drive down a couple times per month for work). I'm hoping we come back Sunday and I can park my ass on the couch for the day.

Thanks scm I am so frustrated and I feel like an asshole because I honestly just wish he would pass (he is 87 and pretty much gone already). H wants to spend as much time down there as possible which is obviously the right thing to do for his mom and grandma. I know I am being a brat but I'd love to just sit at home with no plans for one weekend (or do something with my friends/family who we've been pushing off for 2 months now).

I'm sorry, CtS. Can he go without you for a weekend? I know you want to be there for him, but you also have to take care of yourself. And congrats, btw!
Happy Friday indeed! This week has been exhausting. I am going to try and make it out to one of the art museums tomorrow and just get out of my apartment. Since I work from home this is a goal every weekend...that doesn't always happen. And possibly dinner out Sunday with my roommate. Nothing too crazy!
cts--Prayers to you and your family that his grandfather has a peaceful passing. When they are older and have lived such a long life, you just want them to stop suffering. And don't feel bad, hospice is hard on everyone, both physically and emotionally. What you are feeling is totally normal.

The nurses think this weekend will be his last, so I'm going to go. I have plans here the next two weekends - I can wait one more week for a relaxing weekend. I love you guys
