Sadness and Grief

I feel weird blogging about this, but I guess it wouldn't be right not to, either. I dunno.

I haven't blogged in over a week because Marc's mom passed away two Fridays ago. It was somewhat unexpected, but we were at least able to spend Thursday night and all day Friday with her. Marc's grandmother flew down Friday as well to be with her. She stayed with us while she was here, and left just yesterday.

So I wasn't at work all last week, as we spent time preparing things for the service, which was on Wednesday. My company had a site holiday this past Friday, so I stayed home on Thursday, partly because it seemed silly to go to work for one day, partly to stay with Marc, and partly because I was just exhausted.

Friday I had lunch with Melanie (who is leaving Petsmart for a new job) and had dinner with Deepali, Marian, Vicki, and Cynthia and her boyfriend for Cynthia's birthday. It was good to get out of the house for a bit.

It took Bandit almost the entire week to warm up to Marc's grandmother. We finally got it to where he would go to her for pets, and where he was comfortable with her walking around.

Anyways, that's all I have to write for today.
