This past weekend was exhausting. My original plan was to paint our master bedroom Friday night and all day Saturday so I could get it finished and have time Sunday afternoon to cut grass. That would have been a busy weekend as it was, but right after I got started painting Saturday morning all my plans got derailed.
Marissa's grandfather passed away about 7:30 that morning. He was 89 and had been sick for quite a while so it was not unexpected, but you still hate for someone you love to have to go through that. There wasn't much I could do to help on Saturday so I kept painting for a while, but I didn't get as much done as I had planned. The funeral was Sunday afternoon and I was a pall-bearer, which I was happy to do. However, I wouldn't have minded if it had been a few degrees cooler, 'cause those suits are pretty hot. Needless to say I got nothing done at the house Sunday. So I spent last night finishing most of the painting, and still haven't cut the grass. Tonight I've got to touch up the painting, put the face-plates back on the outlets and put our furniture back in place. Probably still won't get the grass cut tonight. Also, my parents are coming into town this weekend to stay with us, so I've got to make sure I get the house put back together before then. Awesome.

Dude, sorry to hear that, for both of you. My grandmother was 89 when she died last year, and like Marissa's, it was expected. Still doesn't make it easy to lose someone you've known for 25+ years.
