Totally Wireless

For those of you who haven't heard I have moved into Grandma Stoner's house to take care of her. Last week she entered the hospital with digestive issues. They ran a series of tests that required her to fast - and at 91 years old and 85 pounds, this put quite a bit of stress on her system. This stress was probably much more than it was worth. Anyway, the doctor said she'd either have to enter a nursing home or get help at her house. While nobody specifically said I had to do it, I was the only one that could do it with any convenience. Peter's married and will be a dad any day now (by Wednesday - b/c they're going to induce if Melanie doesn't have it by then). Mom and Dad have their own place to worry about. And I'm single, on summer break, and in Stockton. I didn't want to say no and have it be my fault that grandma had to go to the dreaded nursing home.

My life is not what I want it to be right now, obviously. I have a degree from the top rated public university in the country and so far that's gotten my no where. Well, I guess I screwed it up - so can't really blame any one else. I entered a graduate program I didn't want to go into, got involved in research that I feel is pretty pointless, and then quite one year in. And one year after that... I work as a substitute teacher. But... it does pay the bills. I am still looking for a job, but don't know what direction I want to go in yet. I feel lost, but I am relatively young... right?

Anyway... None of this has anything to do with the title of this post... Because Grandma doesn't have a computer or an internet connection, I went to Verizon and purchased a Broadband Access modem thingy... Meaning, I get pretty speedy internet wherever I want, whenever I want. Basically, anywhere I have phone service I have internet service. It's pretty awesome. I figure this was a good plan because I have no idea where I'll be in a few weeks, months, years... And I'll always want the internet...

I just want to say, that while I get down sometimes and feel like my life is pretty aimless I'm not down most of the time. Just a warning for anyone who happens to catch me in one of my down periods...
