To sleep, perchance to dream...

Sleep is so under-rated. I love sleeping in, napping, cuddling in bed, warm blankets -- all that great stuff. Lately though, I haven't been able to sleep at all. I've had nights that I stay up all night, no matter what I do to fall asleep. I don't remember the last time I was in bed for midnight.

My main problem has been dreaming about my grandpa. Every night since he's passed (2 weeks ago today), I've had a dream about him. This weekend I had one that we went to the funeral home for the viewing and Grandpa was sittting there and asked why we left him there overnight, said he was hungry and wanted to go to dinner. The oddest thing about it was that we just acted like it was no big deal ("Sorry Grandpa, we didn't know. How does Bob Evan's sound?") I keep trying to tell myself that it's just my grandpa's way of letting me know he's okay and it's like nothing changed, he's happy, etc -- but geez I'm tired of dreaming that he's alive every night :-(

happy (early) 4th of July!

I've really been slacking lately with blogging. My parents are all moved in to their new place, so that's helped calm things down a bit. Grandpa is still in the nursing home to be able to walk better, but he seems to keep getting stronger so it's all positive.

Rett and I have a rare night off together tonight, so we're looking foward to just hanging out and catching up. Poor guy doesn't know that I'm going to make him help me with laundry too! lol

Hope everyone has a great 4th of July weekend!

Changing the tone

Since my diet is currently slacking, I'm going to change the tone of my blog to just about my life and stuff in general. I'm not sure posting only about weight loss is my thing, I always felt like I was letting myself down by having to post that I hadn't lost any weight. So onto The Life and Times of Stephanie W!

My parents are in the process of moving to a new condo so my grandpa can live with them and have a 1st floor bedroom. He's 91 and just had a pacemaker put in last week. All in all, he's doing really well. He's in a nursing home/ rehab facility until next week since he was having trouble walking after being in bed for 7 days, but he's doing a lot better. It's kind of stressful right now though, trying to move my grandpa's townhouse, my parent's 1600 sq ft condo and a storage unit into a new condo. I'm sure we'll get it done, but it feels like the never ending project.

Rett and I currently working 2 jobs each. We just needed the extra money with prices going up on everything and we had an old medical bill that we thought insurance covered, but didn't. It was only a $1,700 bill, so nothing big, LOL.

My birthday is this coming Sunday (June 22) and I'm really excited since one of my friend's shares the same birthday, so we're having a joint party :-) Should be a lot of fun, so I'm really looking forward to it!
