Went home for the weekend, it was my grandfather's 75th birthday, and both he and my father had been through surgery this last week. My grandpa was doing well. His heart problems are maybe 33% fixed, but we're all thanking God they caught these things before he had a massive heart attack. He's got two weeks to recover from this surgery, then they go to work on the other side of his heart. My Aunt was down from Minnesota. I love being around her, she's so goofy and laid back, as well as very open minded and intelligent. Pretty much everybody from that side of the family were there save my brother and uncle, and we all hung out a whole bunch Fri. and Sat. We went out to eat, went shopping, teased and talked and laughed like crazy- it was fantastic. I guess my uncle will be around next weekend, and whenever he's around, there's always a family jam session. Rest assured, I'll be singing My Dad was doing a lot better pain-wise than he was doing before surgery, but he wasn't completely out of the woods yet. Having pain medication that makes him sick as a dog doesn't help, either. Poor guy. I stayed with him Saturday and Sunday and managed to completely avoid the two family reunions going on this weekend. Like seeing my relatives, but hate trying to remember the names of my 2nd cousins, twice removed I made my first purchases off ebay this weekend, too. New options are always nice! Gotta go now and get all my stuff out of my car.
