( Grandmother Update )
My parents are driving up to Ohio this weekend (Thurs. though Mon.) and rearranged their schedule so that I could tag along. I was hoping not to go this time because it's the trip where all my aunts and uncles are meeting to begin cleaning out my grandparent's house (i.e. divying up stuff) and that's going to be emotional and I'll just be in the way. What I've heard about my grandparents' general philosophy on their stuff is that there's some things they care about, but in general it's been "you kids can fight over it, don't bother us." I don't know if that's accurate now. Anyway, I just really want to see my grandparents, and they're bringing them back to Defiance (from the rest home) for a day or two, so it will be nice to see them in familar surroundings.
So much for a romantic Valentine's Day for my first year of marriage. Oh well, Valentine's Day is kind of overrated anyway. Our 5 year-anniversary of our first date is in March and we usually just combine that with Valentine's Day. Denis says he'll cook me dinner when I get back. Maybe we'll use the good china (it's still in it's original boxes).
( More sick-relative news )
It sucks to be old.
In other news, I am an alumni interviewer for Dartmouth. I'm matched up with '58 and we have 4 high school students to interview (I might not get to all four because of my new travel plans). It should be interesting, the first one is on Wednesday. I haven't even met Sam (the '58) yet.
Also, I learned a valuable exercise lesson today. Don't exercise first thing in the morning without eating anything. I was fine during the workout, but almost passed out in the shower. The day should start looking up soon.
