Finally friday!

 I've recently learned that one of my granddaughters is currently in the hospital. This is the first time I've been really aware of one of my grandkids going through something traumatic like this. Watched to make sure that the situation she's in doesn't get worse and have more medical intervention. I think she'll be okay at least I'm praying that she'll be okay. My biggest shoe now is how do I be a good grandparent through this whole idea. I knew when I ever had any issues like this I essentially got cards in the mail from my grandparents maybe a letter but the thing is usually just a card or so. I feel pretty awkward trying to be involved, I wish I knew her better and how to better support this person. Luckily her mother my daughter is sitting with her as much as she can. My daughter is fortunate enough that she basically can work anywhere as long as she's got access to the internet and she certainly does at the hospital. I guess it's just the thing of being a parent and our grandparent and family that people are going to get sick and need support somewhere along the line. I haven't had to really do that job too much through my whole grandfather career maybe it's time I need to step up to the plate and learn how to be more supportive and a grand grandfather.

I noticed today that I started my winter nesting Behavior. The weather guys have been talking all week about the storm coming in today, tonight for the temperature is going to drop like maybe 20° or something thunder and lightning snow in the higher elevations. This is truly going to be the first storm of the season. Whenever I hear this kind of talk I slip into survival mode. I want to make sure I have enough comfort food to get through the weekend. My comfort my food I'm talking about potato chips, grapes and a few candy bars. Going into the storm I feel doubly blessed in that my apartment is still clean from my off and on cleaning ladies visit earlier this week. I've been trying to keep everything pristine as long as I can but I think that's going to change tomorrow. So I can get a good night's rest I'm thinking of building a pot of spaghetti tomorrow. I think this would be perfect comfort food for a stormy weekend. I thought about just opening up two or three cans of stew and maybe make some cornbread or something but I've kind of been promising myself spaghetti for some time. I have some hamburger I've had out for the significant amount of time but it's in a sealed container/package so I assume that the hamburger still good if not it's time for a visit to the pantry for packages and or cans of stew.

I'm supposed to meet somebody tomorrow across the street at the coffee shop. I usually go to the coffee shop on Saturday mornings and sit, I know I've written about this before. This person has indicated an interest in the coffee shop I just don't know if that interest holds on blustery rainy Autumn Saturday mornings..
