Weekend Update

We moved my Grandma Sara into a senior apartment this weekend. It's right down the street from our house and super cute.
I'm so happy for her because she's so happy. We took her furniture shopping Sunday and she got a couch to go with her lazy boy chair she has, 2 bar stools for her bar top counter, an area rug, and a beautiful 50in TV.
My Dad called me tonight and told me they were going to have dinner over there and to come over. I went over, had dinner and helped decorate her place a little more.

She sat there with a huge smile on her face saying, "It looks good". She is happy and I can't even express how much that makes me happy. She's just been so sad and depressed since my Grandpa's passing. It's like moving to this apartment is a new beginning for her. The old place was where my Grandpa passed so there was bad vibes and memories there.
We're making sure she has everything she wants and needs. Her apartment is very girlie and that's something she needed because my grandpa never let her have that kind of stuff.

We took her to Bed, Bath, and Beyond on Friday and she picked out a shower curtain for her apartment. Her pick? A tan, white, and light pink curtain with powder puffs, high heel shoes, purses, and perfume bottles on it. She also got the matching rug, trash can, and Kleenex holder. "Grandpa would have never let me get this!" LOL. So cute.

It scares me though... seeing how fragile she's become. I know I don't have much longer with her so I'm glad she's down the street. I plan on visiting more often.

Other then that, I just relaxed and tried to get better. Today was my first day back to work. Aside from my clogged ears and little coughing fits, I'm feeling a lot better. :)
