Thursday! That is Grey's Anatomy night. I love this show, and it means that the weekend is almost here.
I am sort of happy and sad today. My aunt Catherine passed away Tuesday. I lived with her for 6 years. In 1968, my mother died of a brain tumor. That left me and my Dad. I stayed with another aunt, Georgene, for the next year. I loved living there, she has 3 daughters around my age. We were like sisters, still are to an extent. A year later, my aunt Catherine, and her husband built a big house and my grandmother, (Nanaw), an uncle that had been kicked out of his house by his psyco wife, and my Dad and I moved in together. It was great. I was back with my Dad, and he didn't have to worry about me when he was working. He worked different shifts every week at a steel mill, that is why I couldn't stay with him after Mom died. He was a great Dad. I lost him in 1995 and still think about him everyday. After Mom had been gone 7 years, Dad started dating again and married a woman with 2 little boys. It worked out pretty good. She was always good to me and my Dad, and a great grandmother to my kids. She drives me and my sister in law nuts though. But that is another story for another day. Tomorrow is the funeral, and D and I are leaving early in the morning to go. It's about a 4 1/2 hour drive, not too bad since I always fall asleep in the car anyway. It will be good to see my family again, I don't get to see the aunts and uncles, and all of the cousins much anymore, usually when there is a funeral. We used to have family reunions every year, but they have kind of gone away.
The happy part is, hubby has an interview Monday!!! And he has a couple of other firms interested in him, so maybe more interviews! He is still struggling to get his strength back, but I know he will get there. But the cough!! Oh My. I hope he doesn't get a coughing fit while in the interview. They will think he has lung cancer!
Anyway, things are starting to look up. At least I think they are, hope it isn't the rose colored glasses I'm wearing today!
Everyone have a great weekend, and I'll talk to you next week.
GO COLTS!!

Sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family. Good luck to D, have him sit in the bathroom when you shower so the steam gets into his lungs, may lead to other things, thought, heehee. I love, love, love Thursday nights! Pretty soon I will be in front of the tube Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights! It will be different for me since I rarely watch TV!
Hi Sandy!
I'm so sorry about your aunt. Isn't it sad that it takes loosing someone and going to a funeral to get us to see our family though?
But Hey, great news for D, I'll put my employment recuriter hat on and send wonderful thoughts his way!
I like Thursday too but I'm a CSI fan, so I don't watch GA. In reality I'm not that much of a tv watcher, especially the past few months. I curl up with a Colin Firth movie occasionally for inspiration, but that's pretty much the limit of my watching.
Take care!
I am sorry for your loss, I hope you have many happy memories of her to help you though it!
Good luck to your hubby on those interviews! My fingers are crossed all the way for him!
Travel safe and take care!
