Grandma heads home tomorrow and all will be right with everyone’s world - she’s got stuff she’s chomping at the bit to take care of at home (and has been obsessing about for the past week) and I’m sure she’ll be more relaxed when she’s back in her own house. (Yet another reason we’ll go there next year. When she starts getting antsy about her checkbook or whatever, we can just walk over to the desk and get it for her.) She makes me positively insane, and it’s in no small part due to the fact that she simply can’t relax while she’s here, so she’s constantly on edge, so I’m constantly on edge and all hell breaks loose. At the moment, she’s getting all twirled up about getting her suitcase packed and wants my brother to help her…except that he’s taking a nap cause she woke him up at the crack of dawn cause the dog didn’t want to come inside this morning. (Funny how she never wants my help with anything - she wants his help, she can wait for it. If I offer, I’ll get, “Oh, you shouldn’t bother” - I’m learning.)
I’ve run out of ways to tell her that it will take all of 5 minutes to accomplish so it doesn’t really matter WHEN she gets it packed.
Thank god, he woke up and they can handle the suitcase. There is some suit she wants that belonged to my mother (I haven’t ditched those things yet exactly for this reason cause she has mentioned it before), but I have no idea which one she’s talking about so hopefully she can give me a color and I can see if I can find it. I’m sure she’ll fret even more about it fitting in the suitcase. At least after this, the rest can go and we’ll have some more space around here. (Found it. Woot.)
We’ve also confirmed her flight to the extent that yes, it still shows on US Airways schedule. She’s still a bit stuck in the days of having to call the day before and actually tell the airline that yes, you’re still planning on traveling. Yay for online schedules, cause every time I’ve talked to a US Airways rep, they’ve been less than helpful.
I’ve made an executive decision for this evening. We’re ordering Chinese. I am so incredibly, stupid tired at this point, I don’t want to cook, do dishes, or do much of anything.
