Thank You For Your Condolences

Posted on February 19, 2003 by ksmiley



Dear Friends,

I would like to thank all of you for your condolences, prayers, and kind thoughts during this time. I took the day off of school and did not open one textbook to study but I did take the time to work on my Grandpa Clarence’s web page and yet it is not done but a good start on it. You may go to take a look if you would like to. I got the rest I needed even though sleep was not involved. I stayed in my jammies and worked on the computer and talked to friends and family on the phone. I have yet not had a good cry but have been crying off and on in short spurts. There will be a memorial service for him in Wisconsin here for family and friends who want or can attend. Then Grandpa Clarence will be taken up north to Redgranite, WI to be buried next to Grandma Fox who died in October of 1997. I do have to admit two things. I miss Grandpa Clarence very much but I am happy he is not suffering or in any pain anymore. Grandpa Clarence’s death was a shock even though he has been dying for five years mentally with Alzheimer’s Disease. Thank you all, once again, for your condolences, prayers, and kind thoughts.

Lovingly, Kristi K

Taking the Day Off

Posted on February 18, 2003 by ksmiley



I have decided to take a day off of school today and rest. I am going to catch a nap today to get caught up on sleep I did not get over the weekend. I did not want to miss a day of school but after yesterday’s fiasco in my heart, mind, and head, I thought I would hide in my apartment all day today. I am still in my pj’s and wanting to get a bath in sometime today but when is yet up in the air. My hair is in need of a washing and it looks a lot unkempt. It is semi-quiet here right now. My friend Mark dropped by for a minute on his way home from the Job center, and my friend Carol called from work after I made a request for her to call. I sure do feel weird today — weak from lack of sleep and mourning my grandpa’s death. I just do not want too many people around me today…I really don’t. I will return back to school tomorrow morning with my head held high. I am going to catch up on sleep today or at least relax and let my body sleep in rest.

My Day Today

Posted on February 17, 2003 by ksmiley



Here I am…up later than usual, and I am taking the day off of school tomorrow. I had lost practically two nights of sleep since my grandpa’s death. I was not really with it today. At 6 p.m. this evening I noticed that my bidy just would not worj=k for me but against me. My friend Nana had to give me a hand so I could step down off a curb! How embarrassing!! Even though I felt my heart was not in it today, I still had to give it a shot for the day. I get to sleep in tomorrow and Thursday. I miss my grandpa very much even though he was mentally gone for five years. In a way, my grandpa died twice and I grieved twice. I am glad, even though the loss is so great, that grandpa is no longer suffering and is in no pain. I am happy in that sense but the loss is so great right. I miss my grandpa very much.

A Quick NOTE

Posted on February 16, 2003 by ksmiley

I am planning on writing about my grandpa Clarenceas soon as I get over the numbness of his passing. Grandpa’s death was expected sooner or later with his severe demencia being so bad but yet it’s a shock to have lost a loved one.

My Evening

It is time for me to get going for the evening. I am getting tired. I have talked to three online friends at MSN tonight. I chatted with a friend earlier this afternoon but now my chatting is over. Emilee has the best idea right now…catnapping. I did not do that today./ It sure does feel good to be awake at certain hjours of the day during the weekend, especially during this time of the year. I think I am going to say good night for now.

Good Night

Good Night

Posted on February 14, 2003 by ksmiley



It is late and I am tired. I am staying just a little bit longer tonight but I am signing of for the night in hopes for a good night’s rest. I had a very nice day today. My friend REB exhanged gifts and I got a Beanie Baby named Sizzles and he is so cute and adorable. He is red with a pink nose, black eyes. He is a dorable. I thought thhat was a precious gift my friend could give. It was small, yes, but the gift itself was big in sentimental value. He told me he likes m gift and special – made for him Valentine’s card. It was a beautiful day all day long and it is now snowing outside so I am GLAD I am in a nice warm apartment.

Good Night!

I really do not have anything to report other than I am doing fine. Had a good day at school yesterday so I am GLAD that I did not play hookey. I was in one of those moods that kept shifting back and forth from I want to do this and do not want to do this. I hate moments like that! LOL Another day of school is in progress right now. Today is even a Better day emotionally, thank goodness. I was definitely fighting my emotions all day long yesterday! YUCK! Other than that, my day is going well so far. I have only one class today and that is great. I have a break from two other classes today, yeah! Not much is going on right now except for a little playtime and the debating thoughts of going to have lunch downstairs in the commons. Kind of early for lunch as it is only going on 11 a.m. and I ate breakfast at home this morning. I ate breakfast at home? Yep and for the first time in a long time too, LOL What a day so far! A good one, too. I have been running to the bathroom a lot today too, LOL I have drank a lot of water already from 6:30 a.m. on to the present. By the time I left for school I had drank three glasses of water already – Yikes! I am thirsty again, LOL
