We’re all checked in for our flight tomorrow. I’m supposed to leave here early in the morning to drive up to my brother’s house where I’m meeting up with two of my sisters. From there we are driving into Chicago where our flight leaves from Midway in the early afternoon. Once arriving in Albany, New York, we rent a car and drive down toward Poughkeepsie where my grandma is staying for a week in an assisted living facility.

They have respite care through hospice which she’s been on for several years. There was some drama at one point where the family members are no longer allowed to visit at the house. If there is time Friday evening we’ll stop by to see her then before returning to the hotel and coming back in the morning to spend most of the day with her. Sunday we will have half the day before driving back through some old places.

I didn’t go to class tonight and told them I wouldn’t be there for internship Monday. Mom and Dad are driving over and meeting us there on Sunday night. I mentioned bringing swim attire in case we get a chance to swim at the hotels or find a hot tub. The laundry is in the dryer so when that’s done I’ll pack my clothes. There isn’t much I have to do because people here are pretty self-sufficient. I filled the van up on Wednesday.
