T minus 21 Days

T minus 21 Days, Tuesday, July 24^th, 2012: “30 Letters to 30 People”

First, typing the title made me realize there’s only three weeks to go!! Holy crap! I’m getting old... As evidence to that, I’ve recently taken a liking to coffee. That’s a pretty big deal for me, I’ve only ever liked it with a ton of flavored creamer and a splash of coffee. The last couple of weeks I’ve been enjoying it with just a splash of milk…but the coffee is flavored at least.

Anyhow, like I said, I’m working weird hours right now and since I’m old, I’m getting more and more tired from my lack of really good sleep. So, the effort for this challenge tends to be a bit difficult. And sometimes I’m feeling annoyed by having to think of something to do. (But, to be fair, a lot will easily annoy me right now. I guess that’s fair warning to anyone who will see me in the next few days…) So, I thought for a few of the hours I was awake and not at work and realized I was being stupid because there was an obviously easy option for me to do. My grandma on my mom’s side recently fell and broke her hip. She had to have surgery and is doing well, from what I hear. To be honest, she’s probably being a pain in the ass because she’s always been pretty stubborn and independent and is a nurse. So, I’m sure she’s wanting to jump up and do everything herself and making those around her endlessly frustrated! I don’t talk to her that often but decided today that I’d send her a get well card because who doesn’t like getting fun stuff in the mail (especially when a lot of medical bills are about to come around!)? So, when my motivation was lacking the most I realized that I had an opportunity to reach out to a family member that I haven’t had much contact with in a long time. Mission accomplished.
