askye at 04:01pm on 29/11/2002So I flew up with Mom to be with her family for Thanksgiving. I'm currently on day 6 without regular internet access, so far I haven't chewed off my arm, but my chocolate consumption is getting terrifying and I'm drinking more diet coke if that is possible. I've managed to sneak online briefly today and Tuesday but mostly I'm hunting around trying to find vehicles that weigh exactly 6,000 lbs (don't ask). There's no UPN, so no Buffy. A Kind soul sent me the wildfeed. I hope to GOD my vcr taped. I've only heard a little bit of actual music, I watched a bit of the Buffy marathon on FX last night and tried to watch MTV and MTV2 but I hated most of what was on. I drove around in the car a bit today and was damn glad to hear "Jesse's Girl", then a Cure song came on. My portable cd player was busted, I discovered the night before we flew out so I was stuck. With no music. I'm about to die.
My grandmother's demnetia is bad, frankly I'll be surprised if she can live by herself much longer after the beginning of the year. It's sad and it's hard and it's frustrating, at some point you just stop answering her question---the one she's asked 25 times, and sometimes she remembers she's asked and sometimes she doesn't and sometimes she seems fine and then she can't remember it's Thanksgiving---when all the food is laid out.
My aunt here takes almost complete care, well my grandmother lives alone, but she ends up wearing the same clothes, but she can remember to eat and she can drive tot he post office. My uncle is over his denial. Mom tries to help but she lives several states away andmy other aunt (who lives in the same state as Mom and I) is in complete denial.
I don't know what to hope for Mom in her future. That she gets lung cancer and dies like her father or she loses her mind like her mother.
God, I'm bored searching for cars. I think I'll go see if my cousin is awake from her nap so we can go play with her Mary Kay.
