Things

Today my day started with the game "Things"...the most amazing game ever created. There is a reader of a card that will say something like..."things that make you nervous" or "things that you wish to erase", and the person reading the card collects the slips of paper you wrote on and the person to the left of the reader tries to guess who wrote what. If they guess everyone they get a point, if they guess no one the person next to them has to guess and so on and so fourth. Anyways I went to my friend Gabby's house where all our guy friends had made breakfast and sugar cookies and we all just played and hung out.

Then I went to the hospital where my dads dad, my grandpa, is currently staying. He lives in Michigan and has a house in Florida...about twelve days ago my dad had to go get him and bring him here to Indianapolis to get help because he was and still is sick. There is a couple of things my grandpa, dad and I have in common...we all love Michigan, they both attended Michigan State which is a school I have always dreamed of attending. We also all love ice cream. Which I found out about my grandpa today. You see my dad and I are almost the same person...we get along great and I am so thankful for that. We have the same eating habits and my mom will always point out the things she sees in me and my dad..."you are just like your father". My dad and I share a little special ice cream bond...we are nuts for it but really who isn't? Whenever he is home we both have our own tub of ice cream, every time it makes me feel closer to him in a way. Maybe our relationship is something you would just have to see in person. But today I heard a story about my grandpa, his nurse was telling us, "Last night he was complaining because he is not allowed to have ice cream, he said 'whose side are you on?!'" and I thought...ohh that is where I get it and I suddenly got this feeling...I am a Timpson and I am just like my grandpa and dad! 

I hate seeing my grandpa in the hospital. I am fearful that I might lose him before I really get to know him. But I am fearless of him getting better...and of going to see him every chance I may get.

After visiting my grandpa I went with my mom and sister to Target and got some movies and puzzles and we are starting a 2000 piece puzzle...yeah I know. Then I went to my friend Maddie's with basically all of my closest friends and experienced some senior girl junior girl drama, but it made me realize why I love being a junior...we were 10x more mature tonight than the senior girls...sorry :) and we ended up dancing in Keeley's kitchen to the loudest music ever. It made my anxious stomach turn happy and I ended my day on a fearless note.
