Today is a very special day because my Grandma turns 104 today. She is my last living grandparent; so as if reaching this age wasn't special enough! I likely won't get to talk to her unless my Dad calls from her house; but cards are in the mail and the local family will celebrate. She's on the frail side but does get up and walk from place to place and enjoys watching her great-grandkids run around. 4 little boys (not counting my 2 because they are older) provide a lot of activity to entertain her. It's very sweet when I see them stop and talk to her and show her whatever little treasure they have with them. I think it's just as good for the kids to experience interacting with someone of her age too. She's a WW2 veteran herself and used to tell the best stories about her childhood and her time in the service; where she met my grandfather. Now she's the good listener.
Meanwhile we are here at home getting ready for Thanksgiving and getting emotional over breakfast food because I was hangry and Dunkin's app with my gift card on it was down. Don't worry; I still got a coffee and made myself breakfast at home and got my act together. I should have known to eat something before leaving to run errands!
What does "getting ready for ____ holiday" mean for you?
For me it's cleaning/decluttering and making sure we've gotten everything required for the day-of menu. I really hope I'm done with grocery shopping. My turkey is defrosting. My house....that's a different story! You'd think after the fumigation my house would be spotless; but I was so spent after that I haven't really gotten everything back in place yet. Plus I'm trying to make it better than it was before. And that means I'm waiting on an Ikea delivery that won't be here until Friday anyway.
