Hi Everyone!!!
Good Morning! I hope everyone has been having a wonderful start to 2023. Yesterday was a very busy day for me. But it was a good day. Went to bed super late though so didn't wake up until nearly 6AM, whoops... lol!
The morning started off slow around 3:30AM, I got straight to my work, my cointiply, my Amazon Mechanical Turk program etc. I got to sit down in the quiet and do some writing. Just enjoyed spending time with my Grandma's amazing pets. She has three dogs here and a crazy kitty. I'm going to kidnap that kitty hehe! 
I made myself some breakfast, got some caffeine in me and enjoyed relaxing talking with my partner before everyone woke up. My Grandma Rosemary woke up around 6:30AM, she's so cute. She tried getting out of bed to smoke by herself. I'm like Grandma no lol. I got up and helped her, tucked her back into bed with her kitty stuffy, gave her a kiss on the forehead and put her blankets back on top of her. Mamma and I watch her on a baby monitor it's so adorable. 
Grandma wasn't asleep much longer after that. She woke up early yesterday. Mamma wasn't feeling well so she went and laid back down while Dad and I took care of Grandma. 
I went out into the back yard, soaked up a bit of sun, took pictures of all the beautiful succulents out there. I love plants and my Great Grandma Mel does too. She has so many here. I was enjoying looking at all of the different types she had back there. 
Came back inside and fed Grandma her breakfast. She had two fried eggs with pepper and a piece of toast with jam. Grandma isn't able to eat unassisted most of the time. She tries, she's so cute. But I always tell her "Grandma I don't mind, I enjoy being here to help you. It's my pleasure, please let me help your gorgeous butt." She giggled and let me help her feed her. 
Sat and watched some TV with Grandma and we talked. She wanted to know some stories from work. Some of the things I had been up to in life. I got to share some things with Grandma and it made her smile. 
Mamma woke up and we gave Grandma her medicine. The Raiders and 49ers game was starting at that point so my Grandma Georgia and Papa Anthony came over to watch the game. Dad is a Raiders fan and Grandma Georgia is a 49er fan so I found the whole thing hilarious. 
When everyone got here I went into the room and did my new exercise routine. I'm starting off with one of those new style of weighted hula hoops. I'm trying to slim down and get into shape. Luckily I've noticed while I'm here, I'm not as lonely so I don't eat as much. And I'm CONSTANTLY moving around. LOL!!! So I'm getting in way more steps. 
Went and watched my foreign drama in the room while everyone was screaming at football on the TV. So many people can be overwhelming for me, so I take it little bits at a time. 
Had dinner with the family, got to see one of my cousins. Was up so late I was falling over tired by the end of it all. Went to bed and crashed. Everyone was here from 1PM until 10PM so very busy day. But it was so much fun. I'm loving spending time with my family. It makes me so happy.
