Yes. House Elf.
I think that is the title that accurately describe this period of my life right now. Granted this is a very short period but nonetheless a period in my lie right now.
So for the past week I have been living with my grandmother while she's been recovering from a long difficult surgery that was only supposed to be a simple one. (damn you Cyst you sneaky little bastard. Had to be a pain in the ass didn't you you son of a bitch.) She hasn't been able to bend over or twist or hardly do much. I mean she can do some things but not everything yet and oh my Buddha she is frustrated with it. I get an earful when she drops something or something like that. She's been using a walker to move around the house and these past couple of days she has zipped around with that sucker like no other. It's rather entertaining to see how fast she moves with it! That's a good sign that she is getting well. She ready for her stitches to come out as well as start bending and twisting again.
Anyway back tot he house elf title.
Like I stated earlier, my grandmother has been limited on mobility. So I have been doing a lot of the cleaning such as doing the dishes, cooking on occasion, laundry, vacuuming, getting the paper, taking out the trash, cleaning up after the dog, you get the idea. And this morning the thought of what I had been doing to help her out made me go "....Oh my god I'm her own personal house elf...I'm her freaking Dobby!" Except I'm not treated nearly as bad as Dobby was in the Harry Potter books before he was freed (*sniffles and wipes eyes*) The thought, in all honesty, made me smile, and I chuckled a bit at it. It hasn't been horribly bad being her house elf to be honest. I mean if I cook its usually breakfast or leftovers because we've had family and friends come over bringing food and desserts of all sorts to us. Dear god the food has been delicious, amazing and just plain wonderful. And her friends are so wonderfully nice and very entertaining. Not gonna lie older people are very very funny.
Because I've been the house elf this week I have decided to take it upon myself to make myself a little hat that says house elf on it. :)
In other news one of my best friends has finally come home to Arizona and he is here to stay! I am so incredibly happy that he is at home where he belongs. :)
