Why, hello there

Can you believe it's been nearly a week since I bombarded you all with my rambles? Well, it has.

It's been one hell of a week. When it rains, it pours--ain't that the truth.

Last Wednesday, I was finally feeling better--like awesomely better. Kicked butt on the treadmill, was going to head to yoga on my lunch break, brought a healthy lunch--things were good.

Notsomuch.

My grandfather passed away last Wednesday morning and I was really unprepared for dealing with it. I didn't think it would impact me like it did, but, I think because he was my mom's dad, and we lost my grandma six years ago, it was like losing another piece of my mom. He was too stubborn to die!!

We couldn't make it out to the funeral (please spare me the bad granddaughter lectures--I feel bad enough), and I barely worked at all last week. I just couldn't function.

And then I was up all Friday night sick.


Two hours of sleep and a birthday bbq to host on Saturday--I've been a real peach lately.....
So, that's where I've been.

But, I did run my first race yesterday and I'll have a full update very soon.

I hope you all were able to enjoy the long weekend, and remember those who serve.

I'm so sorry about your grandfather.

I know what you mean about missing the funeral - we live in Texas and ALL of my family is in NJ/NY and I have missed more funerals, baptisms, communions, confirmations, christianings and weddings that I care to think about. I hate the lectures I get from family when they have no idea how much I already hurt.

I hope you're doing okay!

Oh honey, I'm so sorry about your grandpa! One of my besties suddenly lost her grandma this week, so I've been thinking alot about grandparents myself. My heart goes out to you and I wish I could give you a hug. I think you're needing a weekend of just plain R&R coming up...

Charis said...

So sorry for your loss hon! Here's prayers your way. Take it easy til you're feeling better. A few days of unproductivity are better than weeks of half-sleep!

OH SP, I'm so sorry. Don't guilt yourself about the funeral, sometimes life is just too difficult, and we can't do all the things we want to do. He knows you wanted to be there. Hope this week is better. Hang in there!
