Weird windy days

I guess I should start my post today with a but it's not even that... It's been strange days... I am watching a show on French TV with guests such as Jimmy Sommerville and now Kim Wilde singing Kids in America, it's a nice evening basically, but...
I've been feeling low on energy since Thursday and I thought it's just me, you know, it sometimes happen ;-) but then my father said the air pressure is loooooow. Okay, so it's the pressure. Then his wife told me on the phone she's been continually feeling for sleeping. Okay, all is normal then. Then my soon 99 y.o. grandma didn't want to dress up on Thursday morning and spent all morning in bed till lunch. That never happens, so my aunt worried. On Friday grandma got up fine but said "she would have liked to go to the doctor". Of course my aunt told her she doesn't have to go anywhere, that she'll call and have the doctor come home, and so she did. The doc said grandma is super fine, better than ever (yeah, we also have the feeling she started to get younger lately LOL!), it's just the weather. Fine, okay. Grandma is amazing anyways.
Then Friday around 5pm I heard knocking on my door and it was my neighbor's sister all shaked up (my neighbor's door is just next to mine so we basically live only meters from each other though the building is so well built that I *never* hear a single sound from the neighbors, a great feature. At this occasion I'll mention it was built in 1960 as an experimental top-of-the-notch technology building, a marvel designed by the Warsaw Polytechnical School which is just accross the street. I already knew that it's close to impossible to put any "nails" in the walls because they are stone hard and one of the professors living in my building told me that the whole structure is supposed to withstand the blow of an eventual atomic bomb. What about the contaminated air infiltrating through the numerous crackings, I thought...). Anyway, I digress. My neighbor's sister lives just one floor up, very close and has the keys to my neighbor, who is over 82 but is a lively strong woman and I've always felt "close" to her. She's always been alone, participated in the Warsaw uprising in the 1944 as a young girl, was a journalist and kept being involved in everything related to the Second World War and is regularly meeting those of her friends from that time who are still alive. And on Friday, her sister worried that her phone kept ringing busy for a long time, opened her flat and found her laying on the floor, alive but not okay, not understanding much. Obviously, she had been laying there for several hours unable to ask for help. And that disturbed me immensely, the thought that I had been at home all the time and that she was laying there, needing help, so close to me... She was taken to the emergency and did not respond to basic tests such as reaching her nose with a finger and was talking ununderstandably. My father's wife (the doc') said it could be a small stroke. But then her sister told me she had been staying in bed a lot lately and that the repairs on the front of the building made her very tired... I hate worrying about her.... Since her sister can't see well after a cancer op' last year, she asked me to find toiled stuff, pijamas, such stuff. It was the weirdest feeling having to open someone else's closets and bathroom to try to find where everything is... I felt like violating her territory. Just a bit, of course, because I knew I was doing the right thing. Everything so clean, so well packed, sorted, like if such an old person knows she should prepare for leaving one day... I didn't want to disturb her sister today but will call tomorrow to ask how things are. Passing her door today was tough. I hope she is still alive..
So when I say that these past days have been weird.... all this wind blowing and things happening... A falling branch even killed a nun on the streets in Cracow...
Stitching wise, I hope to finish the first cottage of the French SAL tonight. It will have taken me 4 evenings because I chose to stitch it over one. It *is* cute :)
Tomorrow I plan to start and finish another project, but hush till tomorrow!
Have a great week-end, everyone! I'm just staying in doing a lot of my fav' occupation, nothing! LOL
