It has been a minute since my last post, it is rather crazy how life just gets away from a person sometimes. Between figuring out travel arrangements for the funeral, work, and kids there isn't much time for anything else. So here is my week in review.
I got home from a great trip in Vegas and got to see a lot of my favorite country music stars live on top of relaxing in the sun, who could ask for a better last-minute trip. I found out my Grandma had passed away when I was in the airport (Monday) and wasn't going to be home until late that night so really nothing I could do at that point.
The plane landed and we loaded the kids in the car to have a quick 2.5-hour drive home. The next morning was getting up and Cheyenne off to school and then figuring out what the heck was going to happen over the next couple of days and making all the arrangements plus getting ready for Easter.
Luckily we were able to spend Easter at home with my Dad and Grandpa. It was a nice family weekend considering the circumstances. The funeral was set for Saturday, a few days after what would have been my Grandma's birthday. My sister decided to head to Prince George early which left me to work at the store and figure out the rest.
Back to Work
The store was supposed to be an easy Wed, Thurs, and Fri 6-hour shifts but turned out to be a lot more work and energy than that, all I can say is thankfully tomorrow is my last shift and I fly out around dinner time. A couple of my cousins are on the same connecting flight from Vancouver so that will be a lot of fun in the airport before we board.
Mixed emotions this weekend. Happy to see family and friends but unhappy about the circumstances around it. Work has been tough with inventory, paperwork, and store evaluation. The ten-hour shifts left me exhausted. No time for paperwork or bills. A good reminder of why I need to change things up.
I am trying to put a lot of positive energy and appreciation into my meditation and day. Creating the feelings and emotions I want to happen is getting out of my comfort zone. The hardest will be on Saturday when the funeral takes place.
Needless to say, this week has been a real eye-opener for me on how far I've come. Now I just need a little more time and energy to get caught up. Bear with me over the next week or so until I get caught up. It is hard to believe how much work piles up when you have to hit your wall.
I think it is time I give myself a little grace and appreciate the simple things in life. I was able to have a getaway and enjoy something I love, spend time with family, and make life work.
