Nothing left to hide

It was a busy month.  My job took up most of it, getting familiar with the new settings and improving my work habits.  In the middle of the month my Grandmother’s kidney failure went into it’s final stages.  We visited in October to what would actually be the last time I would get to speak to her and have her cognisant of it.  She passed away on a Thursday in November, with my family sitting around her bedside, there until the final moment.

We get older and more mature everday in so many ways.  Coming home to play videogames and past out on the couch really seems like years ago and not months ago.

We spent the Thanksgiving Holiday with Jen’s family up in Lynwood.  Their usual festivities consisted of eating Pizza and then going to a movie.  Not so bad in itself but I find out that the pizza actually wasn’t that good and the movie they see isn’t just one but several different films that they don’t necessarily see together, but mostly at the same time (oh and their Grandparents say they will go but then ditch at the last minute).  This year we had a more traditional meal and spent the evening laughing over various Board Games we brought to play.  Even though I couldn’t see my family, it was quite nice to have almost the same feeling just 10 minutes north of my apartment here in Seattle.
