I'm always thinking of brilliant blogs to write then I get busy else where (read that: messing around too much with fb apps) and I just don't bother to post them.

It's been a week since I injured my hand (see previous entry). It still hurts quite a bit and I've learned to become quite proficient in using mainly one hand. It's all kinds of lovely shades of bruised. I would take a picture but I doubt it would do it justice.

I'm still madly in love with my crock pot, especially now since cooking is a major effort. Today it has a lovely lentil soup simmering in it and before I go to bed it will have the makings of a split soup in it for tomorrow.

If you hate cooking but love soups/stews, I highly recommend getting yourself a slow cooker. So little work for such great reward.

I'm also loving my foreman grill. I've had one that my step mom gave me ages ago but I hardly ever bothered using it. But recently I've discovered that it's another gadget that I adore. It's great for cooking frozen veggie patties (homemade or store bought).

Plug it in.Toss one on (with or without a few added veggies) and by the time I've prepared a bun and set up a few side dishes, the burger (& added veggies) are ready. And it just takes a few wipes to clean up and I'm ready to eat. Fantastic!
biggrin

The following is optional reading. I wrote it mainly for myself:

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
Several days ago my father called me. I've not spoken to him in a while, mainly cause I'm bad at keeping in touch with people. It was 8:30pm, he lives on the east coast so for him it was 11:30. So I knew it must be bad news. Phone calls after 11pm from family are always bad news. It's a rule or something.

Anyway he called to let me know my grandfather is in the hospital. Which probably means it's the beginning of the end for him. He's 93 and has cancer. Not the omg I'm gonna die next week kind but the slow forming kind, that treating wasn't possible since the treatment would have killed him. So he's been living with it for nearly 2 years now. Getting thinner and more frail as the days went by. I haven't seen him since I moved away last November.

I think, for him, dying will be a welcome relief. Before I left, I helped them out quite a bit. He spent most of his time simply sitting quietly in a chair. His eye sight was failing as well as his hearing. So life for him was just a waiting game. Days of quiet reflection on a long lived life.

I hope he goes quickly and without any pain. I won't be able to go to the funeral but that's ok. We said our goodbyes before I moved. Even though I told him I would see him again before the end, I think we both knew that wasn't going to happen.

I'm no longer a Catholic but he is my godfather so I think I may find myself a Catholic church and say a novena for him. He would like that and it would comfort my grandmother as well.

It's true. I totes need a guy with money. And I also need sex. So it seems like a reasonable compromise.

I wish you didn't live on the other coast, so that you could cook for me.


I feel like a horrible person, because I always get kind of bitter and angry whenever anyone my age or older than me talks about having grandparents. Even if it is in the terms of their grandparents being sick, or being in the process of dying. Because My youngest, and last, grandparent died at 81 in 2000 when I was 15. So it has been a little more than 9 years since I have had any grandparents. I end up feeling like I should feel empathetic and sympathetic and supportive, because I am a good person, and getting angry at myself because that isn't my immediate response.
