Is Life Done Throwing Lemons at Me?
I’m sure it isn’t. In fact I’m sure there will be a million billion jazillion more thrown my way. But can’t life be done throwing them my way for a little while? Please (see I even said it nicely, doesn’t that earn me some brownie points with the man up stairs?)
Yes I know I’m a dork. Like I’ve said before - I’ll be the first to admit it.
But on a serious note, right now I don’t need anything else thrown my way. I have personal things going on within my family that I’m trying to deal with in a mature adult like way when all I want to do is sit down, throw a tempter tantrum, cry and yell at the world that it’s not fair that my grandparents are getting older and their health is failing. I know we all deal with ‘older’ family members and I know it’s a part of the aging process but I don’t know how to handle my grandma that can’t remember anything and repeats herself over and over upteen times, it’s so sad and it breaks my heart. I don’t know how to handle looking at my grandpa and seeing how bad his hands shake when I’ve always known him to have steady enough hands to change my oil or fix my brakes or other car issues or hold a coffee cup steadily and with ease. I don’t know how to handle my other grandma that just got news that she’s a walking time bomb and could have a stroke any minute because of clogged arteries (over 85% clogged) in her neck that the first surgery didn’t fix and she isn’t strong enough to handle a second surgery. All that has me in a big emotional mess. I’ve always been so close to my grandparents and the thought of losing them just totally freaks me out!
Then comes my life issues that have nothing to do with family. The stupid rent situation has my undies in a bunch every month because it’s really hard getting used to paying the amount I pay now when it was so much less before that. That dumb lemon hit me hard and I certainly wasn’t expecting it and it’s made things super tight financially! So imagine my surprise when another lemon gets thrown at me. And actually why am I surprised I mean when it rains it pours right????
