A couple bits and pieces

I’m still feeling a bit weird about my grandmother’s death but I imagine that is to be expected. In some ways it doesn’t feel very real to me yet. And that kind of makes it difficult to grieve in whatever way. It will probably take some time before it really sinks in since I’m so far removed from family.

I went looking online for the local obituary and was dismayed to find the only one filled with all sorts of misspellings and other errors. To my knowledge this isn’t a full news service website as most obituaries will appear in a more regional paper. But I wasn’t able to find one in the usual place so I wonder if one appeared there or not. I’m sure my mother will get a copy of it if one was printed. Unfortunately the funeral home seems to be using the error-ridden one in its online guest book.

I’m off for my annual mammogram tomorrow, which should be loads of fun. Actually, I’ve only had a pain while going through it once and that was over pretty quickly. The worst part is always the wait to receive the results, which usually come through the mail. I suspect I’d be contacted by phone should there be need for follow-up.
