I know, surprise surprise, it's a post from me. But I did tell people I was going to let people know what was up with me. So here's a quick recap of the past weekend.

Some of you may or may not know that the last couple of months, I've had two major stressors in my life. My job has been making me miserable and my grandfather has not been doing so well.

Regarding stressor number one, I decided to bite the bullet and started the process of updating my resume. Luckily, one of the people I contacted for a recommendation pointed me in the direction of a great job opportunity and long story short, I got offered the job last Thursday. I decided to take the job and gave my resignation on Friday. Barring some weird result on the drug test, I should be in a new job by next February.

Which brings me to my grandfather. He's never quite been happy since my grandmother passed away several years ago. Sometime this year, he had to move into a care home because he just couldn't live on his own anymore. It was an adjustment for him, but he seemed all right for a while. Then a couple of months ago he got pneumonia and he went downhill pretty quickly. After Thanksgiving, he started refusing to eat. Late Sunday night he passed away in his sleep. I think my grandparents are together again.

Needless to say this has been a weird, emotional weekend.
