06/05/2009: "Graduation and Grandma"

I graduated last week. One of my grandma's final goals was to make it, and she did. Then she was rushed to the hospital and has been there ever since. I talked to her on Monday and she sounded well. Much of the family was with her and she wasn't lonely or suffering. Yesterday her health started to really decline. She has a fever and a bad infection. They've got her on a lot of medicines so she's finally sleeping. We don't think she'll wake up again. I am glad that she is at least peaceful right now. I left work early yesterday and have been mostly at the hospital this whole time. I might return Sunday evening. Work is going well, just really busy and a little overwhelming. I do like Norfolk though. Anyway, I don't know how much time is left for my grandmother. This whole process has been so unreal. There are so many things I am going to miss about her. I just wish we had more time. I know my mom his having such a difficult time right now.

It's hard adjusting to work, especially with all this going on. I haven't had any free time or any time with Josh even though we are living together. Powder and Bear are doing okay, but Bear is having a hard time eating and Powder has really bad fleas. This weekend, while my mom and I are with my grandmother, my dad is taking care of Powder. The first thing she did was have a bad accident in the house and kill a rabbit. The rain is not helping, causing an abundance of mud everywhere. I just wish for things to calm down.
