Two more days until my granddaughter gets here. I can't wait, it's so cool having a little one around even if it's only for a week. It seems so strange for them to be coming here. I know my son doesn't like it here much. There's nothing to do, he says. Maybe now that he's older and a dad it won't be so bad.

It's a fairly slow week at work which is good,I've got a lot of cleaning to do both here and at mom's house. Her's isn't too bad, they've only been gone for a few months, it's just a bit musty from being closed up. I don't understand why it doesn't get very dusty.

We haven't been flooded out yet, it usually takes a day or 2 for the sheetflow to reach us. With all the rain we've received in the last 4 days it should be pretty bad. I hope not.

I made the mistake of upgrading to msn8, ewww, I can't wait until September when my contract with them is up. Then I'll figure something else out. It's hard to find something that works halfway decent out here. Maybe someday we can connect some other way.

Wow, the new set up is great, I guess I should check in a bit more often. It's been really hard to think of what to write here. So much has been going on and work has been crazy. I guess there isn't a season here anymore, we're busy all the time now.

It was nice going back up to Cleveland even though the circumstances weren't the best. I hadn't been back home in almost 9 years! I now have a better idea of what all you people in the north are going through with the weather. It was either raining or just plain cold the whole time I was there. After 2 days I was ready to come back home to Florida, I really missed the sun.

I also got to meet my granddaughter, she's 2 and just like me, paybacks for my son. They're coming down here next week. They were trying to surprise me with a visit, but as usual, I surprised them first. The ony person who knew I was coming up was my mom. I needed for someone to be around when I arrived. It was great, they were all surprised. And another thing while I'm thinking about it, if you ever need last minute tickets definitely use Hotwire, they gave me a great deal. Hotwire beat Expedia and Priceline by almost $400 each.

More later.

I've been trying to figure out how to say what's been going on, it's hard. My dad's friend, he says she wasn't his girlfriend but they were inseperable, has passed away. He was with her when she went, she suffered a major heartattack. I went back to Ohio to be with him and make sure that he was alright. Unfortunately I had to come home before everything was over. I sure hope he comes down here soon. My brother and sister live up there but it isn't the same.

As hot as it's been down here, it's just as cold up there. I couldn't believe it 56 degrees in June!! There was finally some sun on friday and it felt warmer. More later when I can.
