What a day. Whew. I’m so glad it’s almost over.
I had trouble sleeping last night, tossed and turned when I woke up around 3:30am, then back up at 6 to start baking today’s orders. I finished them and made it to work only 2 minutes late…which really means on time. All were delivered and paid for. Done.
Oh and these people at the office went apeshit stupid over the Caramel Apple Spice cupcakes. I don’t know why, but I do know what I did a little differently this morning when I made them and I’ll be certain to do that for tomorrow’s Sampler Packs as well. I kinda wished I’d tried one when I saw how excited these people were about them.
On another note, my grandmother hasn’t been doing well these past few weeks and I received notice from Pastor Mom today that they were called to start making pre-arrangements for the funeral. I’m not close to my extended family, so I’m not mourning. I used to see my dad’s family twice a year – for a few hours on xmas and Thanksgiving and that’s pretty much it. Not to say that it’s not sad that my dad could lose his mom, but she is 85. Just sayin. So because of that I may very well have to fly up to Michigan this week. I think it’s my obligation, even if it really doesn’t make sense to me to spend $600 on a flight, but whatever.
I’m sure that paragraph sounded really bad to some people, but I don’t mean any disrespect. I just can’t make myself feel something I don’t.
Now I’m off to the Farmers’ Market to stock up on spices and get some apples and such. I’m sure I’ll sit in hours of traffic, but it will be better than trying to fight the Saturday crowds they attract. I can’t even deal with that.
Thank you for writing that because I feel the same way. That’s part of the reason I don’t feel like I need to go to visit when I’ve been so sick. Now if we were talking AK, I’d go even if I was this sick, but that’s different. I’ll be sad at the funeral and I’ll cry, but I won’t mourn the loss…maybe mourn what I wish I would have had growing up.
You know, we probably do sound horrible since this is the 2nd funeral of a grandparent and for both of them we havent really been effected. Oh and by the way, do you want to ask ex-h if he’ll come with you?? Please.
Sorry to hear about your granny’s passing.
I think you’re perfectly entitled to your feelings. Several of my extended family passed throughout my life . Most times, I didn’t feel much in the way of sadness…..more like oh that’s too bad. I didn’t have a close enough relationship with some of them to warrant a lot of sadness and boo hooing. Shucks my great aunt passed last week…..I hadn’t thought about again until just now. womp womp.
I feel stupid as shit. Your granny’s not dead.
READING IS FUNDAMENTAL!!!! *smacks my hand with a ruler thrice*
LOL!! I thought maybe you just wanted to make sure to be the first one to give condolences.
