 Posted: 07/15/03 - 23:00 Post subject: Haven't been around in a while, it has been a heck of a week
And it still isn't finished!
My Grandma died this weekend  Today was the funeral. She was 98 and the most amazing person I have ever known. Brilliant advise and a well of wisdom that will be sorely missed by all who knew her. The world lost one of its angels.
Thursday, I have my interview for the teaching job (finally!).
Sunday, my little brother gets married!
I am currently taking 3 days for bereavement, I had gone into work monday because I knew a co-worker was not going to be in.
Perhaps I will get out and run again. I have run a total of 5 miles in the last two weeks and I am starting to get real cranky. I am sorry to my team for not making more time to run.

My condolences to you and yours on your loss. She sounds like a great lady that you were lucky to know.
Good luck with the interview - you will no doubt have something ELSE to celebrate on Sunday.

monk, very sorry about your grandmother. makes me appreciate my 95yo grandma who visited here last night. I'd been feeling guilty for not going to see her for awhile. This reminds me again to go see her soon.
Now as for that teaching job! Break a leg!
Then dance away at your brother's wedding!

Monk--I'm sorry to hear about your Grandmother.
You've got a lot on your plate right now!!  Team 5 can hang without you, no apologies necessary!! You take care of you and the Family Monk and log the miles whenever you can. Glad to hear you're doing okay! And best of luck on the teaching interview!!

I'm so sorry about your Grandma monk. I lost both of my grandparents in the last year and a half, and I know how hard it is. Hope you and your family are doing ok.
Good luck with everything else.

Sorry about your grandma--you were lucky to have such a wonderful grandma and even more blessed to have the time you did with her--even though right now it probably seems it wasn't long enough.
Good luck on your job interview!!!
