What I learned today

Oh my goodness what a day, and it's not even 6 pm yet! I will be telling about my day in chronological order. Just so I don't get confused.

First, it is cold!! Got up this morning to walk the dog and was not ready for what I felt!! Then Rickey got sick so I got elected to go help my papa put in cabinets. Thats where I learned the most today.

Went over to my grandparents this morning not sure what the day would hold. I am not a manual labor kind of girl so I was intimidated. Told them R has a stomach bug and now I am the helper for the day!!

My feelings were that I was not equipped to do something of this nature. That is so R's department. But we started any way. It was hard from the get go. Ripping up the old stuff. My papa, even as manly as he is, has had strokes and a 5 bypass done so he isn't the strong, clear minded man he used to be. So I had to do some of the harder stuff. He cut through some wiring early in the project that we still haven't got working again. We are still not done. I gotta do stuff tomorrow if R isn't better. I did learn that I can do things I didn't think I could and that I love helping my grandparents after all they have done for us. It's very gratifying to accomplish building things. Getting old scares me, because there are just things we will never be able to stop or change. It breaks my heart to see two of my very favorite people wearing down. At some points during the day I could break things he couldn't. But over all I love spending time with them and I am blessed to still have 2 grandma's(not together but on my moms side and dad's) and a wonderful papa!!!

Hears to another day!
