Day 140: Leaving #1

 

1st sister and brother-in-law went home today. I love my sister, but sometimes it's all too much. I'm not a drinker, and for me there is nothing worse than a person who drinks and doesn't know they're drunk. not that she did anything too annoying, she just got louder

I went and did the groceries to restock what I used with everyone being here. I'm a little put out with people today. People who should know better have done/ asked for. things they should never have any business asking/doing. I'm going to pissed off for a few days/weeks/months to come.

Instead of retaliating, I've decided to take a step back and ignore it. I can ignore, but I can't forget.

Day 139: Visitors

 

Today my house was filled up even more with family. Two of my nephews and a girlfriend came over I also had my daughter and granddaughter, then my eldest sister and one of her kids. As well as my two other sisters and their husbands. All I can say for sure is, as nice as it was seeing everyone; I was glad when they all (mostly) left.

I have the headache from hell from all the noise. I'll be glad when the house gets back to normal. Actually, check back with me at Christmas. By then I'll have moved and have sorted through the house and have a routine set in place.

Day 138: Threadbear

 

My brother passed away today at 4:50pm. At least he is finally out of pain now. He will be missed by many.

Graceful and Hurricane each received awards on parade today.

Everyone came back to our house to stay so we were pretty full up. I'm not sure how long they will stay for. it could be hours it could be days.

Day 137: Resting, But Not

 

I managed to drop the plastic tubs off at new place. Low and behold there was no one there to help me unload everything. I had to do it in two loads as I wanted the stacks of tubs out of my lounge room.

Everyone was coming over for a visit for brunch. I'm tired and so is mum. We didn't go over to my brother's today. At 93 I have to listen to what my mum needs and for her today it's a rest.

I'm trying to get as much done around the house as I can... I feel like I'm falling behind on my moving plan/schedule.

Day 136: Kitchen

 

This right here is how I'm feeling today. I feel like I could go to bed and sleep for a week straight. The only problem is that I have too much work to get done. I got up early this morning and finished packing the 5 boxes/plastic tubs

Today Jax is having his birthday party. I'm not going because I have too much to do. After Jax's my daughter and the three granddaughters went to her ex-husbands for a BBQ.

Visited my brother for 2 hours and then came home and finally took a time out. Decided to read AKM Miles Sarcity Sanctury.

Day 135: Graceful

 

Graceful starts at her new dance school today. I think she is going to be a lot happier now. My other sister and brother-in-law arrive today. 

On the moving front, I packed up most of my kitchen today. I will try and get them over to the new place in the next couple of days.

We all went and visited my brother again. we have to get our "I love You's in while we can.

A very tiring day.

Day 134: Visiting Threadbear

 

I finally went to see Ted today, and it was a true shock to the system. he is a lot worse that I thought he would be. Honestly, I'll be surprised if he lasts the weekend.

My other sister and brother in-law sent word that they will be here tomorrow. At least we are all here to say our goodbyes. I just wish I wasn't feeling like shit. I have to wear a mask, which is making it harder for me to breathe. But we have to do what we have to do.

I think I'm going to prefer to think about the brother I remember before the cancer ravaged him so much. I hope he passes peacefully in his sleep... I love you, brother. We've had some tough times, but we've also had some bloody good times.
