Sorry to hear about your grandma. :hugs I bet if you talked to your professors about what is going on they will excuse your absence from class. They could probably arrange for you to make up the work later.

Brownsheep - I'm TRULY sorry. Please get some rest/sleep and things will hopefully be easier to think through. Most college professors are willing to 'work' with students in this situation (be prepared to provide them with an obit copy or something like that...at least OFFER.) Please don't have regrets of your last moments with her, I'm sure she understood - and appreciated it. Most labs do have make-ups...but at the end of the day, it's YOUR call. Please take care of yourself and hollar if you need ANYTHING!
:hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs

Thanks everyone.

It's been better today...although I woke up at 7:30 to some guy walking out of my room.....Thanks roomie just what I needed.

Family dinner tonight as well. Grandma will be cremated then buried next to grandpa. We'll have a mass up here for her then a burial and party down at home. That's what she wanted. Mass, a party, and for it to be cheap.

I think life will get a little easier when I start back on my schedule on Tuesday.
I'll try to post a photo of our new bull later.

Here's our new guy. This pic makes him loos tiny but he's not. Thats probably a 4ft gate behind him and his head and shoulder go well above it. He's much bigger than our old bull. Really docile and gentle. He wouldn't leave the trailer. Wouldnt even threaten my dad when he was swatting him to get out. He likes getting a scratch and is very mannerly. Doesn't toss his horns.

The only down side is he hates Ruby. She was part of the reason he wouldn't leave the trailer. She stood at the end mean mooing at him. When he did get out he chased he down the ally and picked up her rear end. He was still occasionally chasing her around when we left.

Very sorry to hear you lost your grandma. :hugs
My grandma was the same way...said we should have a party...because she was going home to be with her Lord and that was something to truly celebrate!

He's really a sweetie!

The people sold him to us for a way discounted price since they wanted him to go to "pet"home . Or as least as pet-ish as possible for a yak. They had a game farm offer a ton of money for him , but they turned them down since he would have been killed just for his horns.

I think he looks sweet. Hopefully his "good manners" will continue once he's used to his new home!

College roommates....aaaah. Just remember...what goes around comes around! Enjoy the celebration of your grandma's life...remember the GOOD times and love! Be safe and :hugs.
