2013 started off in a very dramatic fashion. Wasn’t quite prepared for everything, but that’s okay, I improvised. My grandmother was taken to the ER for heart failure. She had some sort of a flu the week before and the doctors said that her heart was having a tough time.
I was with a friend when I heard the news. My heart sank to my stomach. I wasn’t ready at all. She was so weak and small when I saw her. She wasn’t eating anything. I started joking around with her. I am not good in intense situations so I resort to jokes. I tried lightening the mood – I was doing it more for myself I think. Nevertheless, it seemed to help her too. She started talking more and sounded more like her usual self. When I went home I was still anxious and my heart was beating fast, but by the next day I felt more calm.
I visited Ponchik the next day. He makes me so happy. I hugged him as much as I could. I love hugs.
The following day I felt that I might be getting a cold. I didn’t want to stay home, however. I saw Seven Psychopaths for the fifth time with good company. I have memorized it by now. After, I came home to celebrate my parent’s anniversary. It was just the four of us….mom, dad, sister, and I. We laughed a lot. It was nice. I treasure those moments because they happen less and less.
I’m fighting this cold now. Everything is fine. I’m just tired. I try to sleep but I have a migraine that makes it difficult. I’ve been watching documentaries and movies on netflix as a distraction. I tried to read a book earlier but it was a challenge to hold it up. I’ll get to it.
Up and down and up. This is life~
tennis, drawing, the universe, sleeping, and being happy! 
I’m sorry to hear you got bad news over New Years. Hope your grandmother is feeling much better now!
Your dog is soooo cute!

I hope your grandmother will be fine. I guess joking around with her indeed helped. You know what they say, “Laughter is the best medicine.”
Congratulations to your parents for their recent anniversary. More happy years to them!
Get well soon!

I’m very sorry to hear about your grandmother. I pray for her speedy recovery. It’s good that you are able to be there for her and make her laugh
I also hope you feel better soon from your cold. There’s been news about how flues have been spreading around. Try to stay warm and drink lots of water!

I hope your grandmother will pull through. Despite of the incident, you still did what you can to lighten the mood. Even I wouldn’t know how to respond if I was in this situation. Hopefully, she’s better by now.
It sounds like you had fun watching Seven Psychopaths. Happy anniversary to your parents! It’s great to hear that they’re having a long lasting relationship

I wish you the best of luck with fighting your cold. You know what to do
. And hope the cold disappears pronto!
Take care

Sorry to hear about the downs happening.
I’ll keep your grandmother in my thoughts; I hope she gets better and that all goes well.
As for your cold, VITAMIN C! I got sick in December, and it turned into strep throat, and then possibly the flu. I’m going to the doctor sometime later today for my cough. :L Ugh.

I hope you get more ups in the following months. So is your grandmother feeling ok now?
