Family

This ones for you Beckee, cos otherwise I probably wouldn't have posted tonight. :)

So developments since my last post.
Basically there's not much of anything really going on these days. Things are going back normal. Nana left early on Saturday, Mum drove her to the airport and I think we all were quite relieved to see her go. We may sound like horrible family members, but if you know my Nana you'll understand.
She was here a total of 2 weeks. For the first week, Mum was off work and I didn't get stuck with Nana much. But the second week, she wanted me to take her everywhere...even though I had only just started driving again. Mum was on my case about taking her out, so I gave in and just did it. Nana seemed ok most of the time, she did pick her moments though and there were a few explosive arguments in the house during the time she was here.
Anyway, she's gone now, Mum's back at work and the girls are at school so I'm home by myself pretty every weekday and it's been not too bad.

On the reverse of family members that piss me off, there's one in particular I'm praying for.
Yesterday we got some bad news, Grandma had another stroke on Saturday night. It's left her paralysed on her right side and she can't talk. We're told she also has some brain swelling due to her tumors. She's in hospital at the moment, and the doctors haven't said alot from what I've heard.
I suppose all I can say for now is that, Grandma, I am praying for your health and I hope you feel better very soon. I wish I was with you, and I love you.
These thoughts will be conveyed to a card I think I will send her...I just want her to know I'm thinking about her.

Now I turn to another family member. Karl has seemed to have gotten himself into some major shit. I don't know all the details but basically his girlfriend dumped him, got an AVO out on him and he's breached it several times...and apparently now as I speak, he's in custody.
There's not much I can really say for him. I mean, it's obvious he's not a smart bloke because he's gotten himself into the very same trouble before. Mum doesn't want him back here to live, so he doesn't really have anywhere to go. The cops, from what I hear seem sympathetic to him but have charged him because of the amount of breaches he's already made. I'm shaking my head for him, I just don't understand why he does this. He hasn't learnt anything and it makes me feel disappointed for him.
He goes to court tomorrow, I have no idea what will happen...I suppose I'll find out when I do.

So that's all I can come up with right now. There's too much to think about and I'm tired now.
More from me later on.
