Home. It's been calling my name lately. So, off to good ol' upstate New York I went. And, why not throw in a surprise? It was Grandma's 79th birthday this weekend, which let's be honest, really makes 30 seem trivial, so we planned a little surprise lunch where she wouldn't know I was coming. First, I snuck in an overnight with the Chad. That boy has my worry meter on overload lately, and being so many hours away, it's hard to ease that worry without getting to see for myself just how he's handling everything. So, I spent the night, on my way to the B-Lo and got it a few hours of QT with the BFF. :) And, he's doing well! Home dialysis seemed a bit overwhelming, but he seems to be handling it well, and it doesn't seem all that cumbersome, so I was able to leave knowing he's doing what he's supposed to to maintain his health. My reasons for him taking care of himself may be a little selfish...I simply can't imagine my life without him, so he best stay on top of it all!
So, onto Buffalo I go, where an afternoon with the whole family with a city delicacy really did a girl good! My grams was so surprised, and so gosh darn cute when she saw us all there. We had a lot of laughs, a LOT of food, and a truly good time. Followed by 2 days of chill time at home with Mom, it really makes a girl appreciate what she has. Sometimes you just need to recharge your batteries with the people who know you best and accept you for who you are. We didn't do anything crazy, just worked around the house, washed cars, went shopping, and I couldn't have had a better time. It's those weekends that really make me yearn to be a little closer. But, still make me cherish it all the more for the distance between us.
