I started school on Tuesday, Sept. 3. It was not fun. I am really looking forward to this school year being over.
On Saturday, August. 31, my mom and I were in MI visiting my grandparents. I may not have mentioned this on the blog yet, but in May my grandma was diagnosed with a brain tumor. They had said a few weeks ago that she only had about a month or so left.
So we were going to visit, and my mom wanted me to help work on a slideshow for the funeral. I hadn't added funeral slideshow making to my repertoire of skills yet, and I really was not looking forward to doing so. It's a much more emotionally difficult task than usual slideshows. Nothing I wanted to ever have a reason to try.
That morning, I was getting ready for church, and decided to wear makeup. I usually don't bother with mascara, but for some reason I did that day. The moment I brushed it onto my left eyelashes, I immediately regretted it. I thought of how I was supposed to work on that slideshow after church, and decided it was a bad day for mascara as I followed through and brushed it onto my right eye's lashes.
Sunday, Sept. 1 was the last day we got to be with grandma. It really seems unbelievable.
I went to school the next two days in a bit of a daze, skipped the third day and most of the fourth day of school to go to the funeral.
It's been a week, and every day has been a terrible day for mascara.
I miss you.
