Last weekend

So yeah, I went to visit my granny last weekend. I also took my niece to her granny and got some small chairs for my cousin. Saturday morning we left bright and early as my niece woke me up at 6.30. I was told that she would sleep late (till eight or so) so I was surprised when she woke me up. But I wasn't worried, as I knew that the trip could need few stops when travelling with kids. Well in the end we only did one stop before arriving to her granny's home.

There I was fed full and I continued my way to collect the chairs my cousin had bought (she is pregnant and is not able to travel as easily as I am. Nothing to do with pregnancy, but with two children that she has). Luckily the place was really easy to find, and in no time I was at my granny's home. When I was behind her front door I called her (as to surprise) that I was behind her door. Well surprise surprise, she was not at home. She was still at hospital. So I said to her that I would come right over.

So on Saturday I was there for few hours. Just chatting at first as she was still a bit tired. After the tea brake she was a bit more chatty herself. She was in a room where there was just one other person, and there was no toilet. The toilet is just outside the room (so not too far away). Well my granny did do a trip to the toilet, and when she came back she said that she just barely was able to walk there and back.

She then said that she need to rest a bit more, and I left to her place. I did some cleaning there (just put some stuff to the bin and put the dirty dishes to the dishwasher) and then watched some tv. It was so weird to be there without my granny there. I could have sworn that I sometimes heard her sleeping on the sofa.

So next day I woke up when the neighbor came in (its a twin house, and they share a sauna) and told me that my granny had called her. The nurses think that she might have a virus (that could easily spread) so she is not allowed to take any visitors. (Just called her, and there are other people in the isolation as well.) My granny's neighbor asked if I would like to come see their new summer cottage, and of course I said yes. It is really nice and peaceful place. I already made a reservation for it if I could go there with my friends. She was okey with it, as she and her husband don't go there too much. He is very ill, and thus for is not able to stay away from the modern conveniences (like electricity).

So basically I traveled 210 km (one way) to see someone that I could only see for few hours and only in one day. My daily carpe diem was the part when I went to see the neighbors summer cottage.

Now normally this weekend wouldn't have sucked that much (it still would have sucked!), but as I already had made a tough decision on who to go see and it felt like I had made the wrong decision, it really made the suckiness suck more!
