Leave town or hide out?
So I've decided to not drive to Iowa this weekend, as I feel it would overwhelm my grandmother as she will already have enough people there at the hospital. Maybe within the next month or so I can, but not now.
I still have this urge to leave though. Somewhere, anywhere. I feel caged. I either have to get in the car and go somewhere or else just hide out at home since I want to avoid the HOA Board members who are driving me crazy right now.
Instead I will probably end up just sitting at home and working all weekend on this big conference I'm in charge of, taking place in November. Plus I have a mailing list to finalize for a direct mail piece and also some web copy to write.
No wonder I want to escape!

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma! Thank goodness she has people to take care of her! Good call staying home - I think a successful heart surgery will allow you to peacefully stay away while things calm down, whereas lukemia is a bit more serious and unpredictable. You'll get out there soon enough & she'll be just as happy (and more able to show it without stressing her out)! YOu should look into some B&B's about an hour away or so. You and your hubby could take some much needed R&R and maybe do some short hikes / watch the leaves turn, etc. Even if it's just one night, it'll be a good refresher..and leave the mailing list at home!! I have one of those to narrow down by 9/28 (just found out about the due date!) and don't know where I'm going to find the time! It all gets done in the end, so no worries!!
I'm a bit more calm now, thanks. It was a stressful week at work due to a few of the people I work with being the biggest jerks you could imagine, plus Grandma wasn't doing too good there at first. But now she's home. Thanks for the positive message. :-)
