one day at a time.

April was slightly better than March. At least I handled things a little better. I'm doing pretty darn good now, considering all I've gone through the last couple months. And all my family has gone through. Grandpa (mom's dad) was in the hospital at the beginning of the month, but now he's doing really well. Grandma (mom's mom) had surgery today and everything went well. She really needs a caregiver, but no one can afford it...and I'm the only one being active about it...so I don't know what's going to happen. Prayers are very welcome.

As I'm sure everyone does while growing up, I'm learning how to deal with the stresses of life and keep a smile on my face. I'm tired of being stressed and depressed. I don't want my life to be like that. So it's not going to be.

This month is going to be freaking awesome. Saturday I get to have dinner with Bill (library Bill!) and Karen and her family. Sunday I'm throwing a party for my cousin's 21st birthday, with no alcohol. It should be interesting. I actually really respect her choice for no alcohol, but I don't know if certain members of our family will do the same.

Next Saturday, my very very very good friend Maggie (from Portland) is getting MARRIED!!! I am so excited for her!

The following Saturday, I am going to Ashland for Nancy's Farewell Party. She quit working at the library. It's the end of an era. It's so weird...going back there will never be the same now.

It's going to be another potentially busy month, but at least most of the things that are keeping me busy will be fun!

Hope all is well with all of you, that is, if anyone reads this thing anymore.
