What a week!! On Tuesday I had a job interview and spent a little time with a good friend. I really thought I bombed the interview and had no chance of getting the job. (there were 100 applicants!) I spent the rest of the day watching That 70’s Show on Netflix with Jacob.
Wednesday was Steve’s 45th birthday so I ran around getting things ready and we even managed to get a surprise cake from Dairy Queen!!
Thursday morning I got a call from my mom saying my Granny had passed away. Granny was 96 years old and she lived every one of those years to the fullest. She was still working FULL time at 89 years old! The last year has been tough she has had some major illnesses and I know she is no longer suffering, but wow!! Then about 10 minutes later I got a call from Scholastic Academy letting me know that I GOT THE JOB!! Talk about YOYO emotions! I am still torn between grief and joy!
Friday was spent arranging things and me aimlessly wandering around in Hobby Lobby and at the mall because I love Hobby Lobby and I need to buy something to wear to the funeral because I am a size 16 (ouch) and I only have jeans and gym clothes. UGH!! Steve took me to the Minion Movie to cheer me up(I am obsessed with Minions)
I go Monday to find out the details of my new job and Tuesday we will say goodbye to my Grandmother. She was a HUGE part of my life growing up. She taught me to drive and tried to teach me to sew. When I would sleep over at her house she would sing me to sleep, something about Winkin, blinkin, and Nod. We would get up way too early and drink “coffee” (a cup of milk with a splash of coffee) She made every formal I have ever worn, including my wedding dress. I will miss her, but I will see her again.
