The Best of the Best, Volume #012
It’s been one busy and stressful week, and I’m just glad to have made it through the week this time around. I hope yours was a little more manageable than mine!
What are your weekend plans? Mine are…
Unfortunately, I’m in Florida for the weekend to attend my [maternal] grandfather’s funeral and burial services. It’s a rather somber and reflective weekend. Although under unhappy circumstances, I do get to see my grandmother and aunt (both of whom I haven’t seen in a few years) as well as the rest of my extended family. I do wish it would have been under better circumstances.

Hi Christine,
Do you think it would be okay to wear a black and yellow striped shirt with some black slacks to work at a professional setting? Or will I look like a bumble bee lol?
LOL! I have this dilemma too. I feel odd, and others have said as much to me, so I’d probably say no, LOL.
I’m also sorry to hear about your Grandpa. Mine passed away also about two weeks ago. It was the first death in my family and its been hard. I wish you all the best!
My thoughts are with you during this difficult time!
Christine, I’m so sorry to hear about your grandfather. My thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time. Hope you have a nice time with your grandmother and aunt though, while funerals are very sad, it’s always nice to see all the people whom you don’t normally see. xxx
Thank you so much, Anita! It is very much a celebration of my grandfather’s life as it is honoring it.
I’m very sorry to hear about your loss Christine. I wish your family members the strength to cope with your grandfather’s passing.
Thank you, Aeman!
