Wow! What a week, and it is only Wednesday! I have been to the funeral home 5 times, attempted (unsuccessfully) to clean my house 4 times, went to school (college) 3 times, washed my dishes twice, experienced devastation 1 time and worked a total of 1 half day. Yep, so far this has not been my week. And did I mention that it is only Wednesday?
Here’s the skinny on the funeral home:
Grandmother Laney (my great grandmother) passed away on Sunday resulting in 3 trips…
This is her and Laney from a few months back when she was hospitalized
due to pneumonia . She always knew who Laney was even way past her point of recognizing me—She suffered from dementia. I always assumed that had something to do with the namesake but I can’t be certain of course.
I cried with my entire family as we listened to the eulogy. But we were not crying for her. Instead we cried for ourselves. I am always aware of the selfishness that seems to engulf situations like this one. And understandably so. The selfishness I mean, not my awareness.
I also made two extra trips this afternoon. One time to drop Kait off and one more time to pick her up. She hung out there tonight while I went to school. Not sure if I have mentioned the fact that my aunt and uncle own the locale funeral home and reside in an enormous apartment overhead. Yes, that is a little creepy, I know
On my attempts at housework:
There is really nothing to say except that I failed miserably.
School:
I went, I listened, I came home. I have not had time to do any homework whatsoever. I really should be doing that now as apposed to this.
Same goes for the never ending mountain of dishes in my sink.
I'm not even going to touch on my devastation except to say that it is superficial and I will eventually get over it.
My half day of work:
Oy, I have not even sat down at my computer since Sunday night save the hours of 8-1 on Tuesday when I worked and a phone call that came in this morning that I had to take because the fellow wasn’t in on Tuesday and I was just going to die if we went through one more round of phone tag really needed to get him scheduled as quickly as possible.
How has your week been so far?
