Last Rites to Grandma

Mood: Kinda sad

 NoWell, today I had to work. Another long trip and a few less gallons on gas in my tank. Today was busy as usall.

My husband and I both got some bad news. Yesterday. It seems his grandma is dying. They gave her the last rites yesterday. She is 95 or 96 years old. so, needless to say the whole family is flocking on in from all over the country. She is still hanging on today but, we think she is just waiting for her last son to come. He is stuck in Las Vegas because of the airlines and stuff. He finally got a flight to boston and is now driving  the rest of the way here. It sure is weird how people come for weddings and wakes. Then they never talk to each other until the next time someone is getting married or is dying.

It is just so sad. She has a DNR order. She has some kind of internal bleeding and her liver has given up. It will be a matter of a day or so the doctor says. She lived in her own home up until last year. She is a fisety old lady. She tells it like it is.

I let them know at work that I may have to leave if anything. They are pretty good about it. Everyone is very surportive  and is willing to help if I need it. My poor husband is just in shock over the whole thing. He said to me. I can't believe she's dying. She's been around forever. As long as I can remember she has been there. Now, she is dying. Pretty sad.

 

Well, as far as the gas prices I saw on the t.v. that New York and Penn. and florida has the highest gas prices. they are sending out people to check for gas gouging. Our gas has gone up 3 or 4 times in one day. Crazy shit. They said to call the Attornery General if anyone suspects that any station is gas gouging. I think I will. Our gas is up t00 Three dollars and seventy five cents a gallon. People are not able to get to work. People are quitting  and trying to find work closer to home. Can't blame them. Or they call in and make an excuse as to why they can't come in.

Well , I guess I will go now. Smiles and Giggles to you...Hazeleyes
