I'm still in shock...
I suppose I should update now. I haven't done much this past week, except work. Becca came yesterday to visit and we went out to Olive Garden to have some yummy food. At one point, when the waiter delivered our food, he spilled some of mine and a few pieces fell on the floor. I still took it because it was mostly veggies and one potato, but most of it was salvaged and it would be stupid to get a whole new plate of food and waste a perfectly good one. He later picked on me, saying I needed to stop throwing the food. Why do I get picked on? Haha, nah, he was pretty funny. We also had dessert and it was sooooo yummy! Dave T. from Houghton crashed at our place last night. It was good to catch up with him. He is headed down to Florida for the army.
So onto my heading. My mom called this morning informing me that my grandfather passed away last night. It still hasn't hit me, and probably won't for a while. He was 75, so he lived a decent amount of years, especially considering he has been in and out of the hospital these past few years. He went peacefully, talking to the man next to him as he died. Just like my grandpa, always having something to say, even with his final breath. So I am going to try to get home this next weekend to see family. I most likely will be unable to go to the funeral (seeing as it will be in the middle of the week). I have Saturday off and I think I am going to try to get Friday off. Shawna volunteered to take me a portion of hte way home, so I might do that and pay for the gas. My dad may just come and get me, but it's such a long drive to make. I have to call him and let him know, because he probably has not heard the news yet. So if you all could pray for my family, I would really appreciate it.
In other news, I am making cookies for Shawna's class this week because she has a presentation for one of her classes. I'm going out Thursday night to a bar (*GASP*) for trivia night. Shawna tells me I have to meet this one guy, and now my boss is so excited about it. She keeps calling it a date, but it's not even close. He is really outdoorsy and goes rock climbing and has his own sailboat, so that's pretty cool. But with the events of the past day, I don't know if I should go. I still want to, but I would feel guilty about enjoying myself. I most likely will still go. Life is short and I don't think I am being disrespectful by meeting some people and answering trivia questions (that no one knows because they are really hard). Maybe I will talk to my mom and see what she says. I dunno, what do you guys think? Would I be a terrible person if I did still go?
Anywho, getting in shape for frisbee, and looking forward to playing with my friends again. Nothing beats playing with those folks!
