7/26/18 -- Yes, once again, it has been awhile since my last posting. I have just had an aversion to getting on my computer. I spent so much time on it, job hunting and nothing coming of the few interviews and bunches of uploads, so I just stopped getting on as often if at all.
Well, since my last posting I lost one babysitting job, the one that I would go and watch an 8yr. old little girl. I had picked up a better paying one day a week babysitting job so the grandma had to find someone to pick up that one day. So, she was able to find someone but this person, who does childcare in her home, wouldn't take the little girl just one day a week, she wanted her all week, so I was done. Right at the same time when I wasn't going to be needed for two weeks for the one day a week childcare job.
Unfortunately, that job loss came at a good/not so good time because that Saturday; I was at my mom's house when she got the call that her sister in-law/my aunt has passed away, that very day. So, I knew that we would be going to the funeral that next week.
We did go to that funeral, which was on Wednesday, of that following week. That was a rough yet good thing to go see parts of my family that I haven't seen in over 10 years.
I gotta say that there has been quite enough death in my family!!! 3 people in less than a year have passed away, in less than a year, in my family, I am done with death for awhile!! It ended up that my sister, you youngest daughter, our mom, and myself all drove to Ohio, for this funeral. We left midmorning on Tuesday and got to my mom's oldest sister's house about 7pm ish. The drive was long but uneventful with my sister driving. It was nice to be able to spend some interesting time with my cute little niece, opening things for her and having her call me Aunt. I hadn't heard any of my nieces or nephews call me Aunt, in quite a long time.
The funeral service was nice and it was great to see my Uncle whom I hadn't seen in 12 years, along with my cousins and their families. It is sad that my Aunt is gone, but good to see her whole family.
I did come away from that time in Ohio with 2 1/2 kitchen size garbage bags of clothes, from my mom's youngest sister. My sister got 1 full bag cause those clothes I knew wouldn't have fit me, plus there was a few that I didn't like. I had preliminarily gone thru those bags, the night before we left Ohio. I basically got a whole new wardrobe from my Aunt. The bags mainly consisted of shirts, some dresses and a couple of skirts. My Aunt is a bit taller than me so she didn't figure her pants would fit me. Out of 6 dress there is only one that doesn't fit and one that has to be shortened by a little.
