Can you even use dial-up internet anymore??

So I have been without internet for about a week. Thankfully, good ol' Time Warner Cable came out and hooked up high speed internet. I should correct myself...I have had internet, sure. But it has been dial-up. Papa never uses it (I am not sure he even knows what the internet is anymore) and it has just never been updated. So I took care of it and am finally back on. Does dial-up even work anymore??

Anyhow, I have gotten pretty comfortable living here with Papa. I make sure he eats, takes his meds and puts on his memory patch. He is still having a heard time remembering what day it is, though. For example, he thought today was Sunday. I mean he was insistent! He asked me if we were going to my parents house in Berea because it was Sunday and he always goes on Sundays. I had to remind him that it was Monday. Then he came up to me and said he thought it was Sunday so he couldn't go to the bank. Every day is a different day for him. The days just blend together. But, I try to get him through it and any other little things he needs help with.

Today I spent the majority of the day hosing down lawn chairs and tables for our party this weekend. Let me tell ya, it was pretty gross! Those tables hadn't been used in about a year so the leaf and stagnant water and mud build up was outrageous. As I was hosing down the patio area, one of our neighbors came by and introduced himself and offered to power wash the tables and the patio for me. It was very generous of him and I am truly grateful for that.

I got to see Bryce a couple times this week. Right now it's a bit difficult to see each other every day with his job and me living in Lorain but when we do see each other we just fall into place and act as if we have never been apart. I am SUPER excited for him to finally move in with me here in the next month or so. I cannot wait to start our new lives together! :)

Okay, okay...enough with the lovey-dovey stuff. I am just so happy with where I am right now in life. I am surrounded by great people who love me and would do anything for me and I couldn't ask for anything more. And it will only get better. :)

Adios!!

PS: Sorry for the novel...I had a lot on my mind!
