Yesterday was a pretty good day. I rode the 8:22 in, and got caught up on lots of stuff at the office. I started researching and organizing thoughts, materials, etc. for my English Drama class next year.
I had my koto lesson. I was okay, but made lots of mistakes, as usual.
I got letters written, papers copied, my newsletter article for F.B. in Fairfield written, and various lesson plans & stuff done.
Friday night was Megumi class. This was our Halloween party. We did the suitcase race, made masks, trick or treated in the church, and I set up a "Feel the body part" place. The students were blindfolded and I had them stick their hands in various things like hamburger, jello, tomato juice, spaghetti, etc. We told them it was brains, blood, heart, etc.
Today mom & dad called and said that Grandma Shepherd died yesterday (Friday). It was a relief, I guess. She's finally out of her coma. But you never really prepare yourself fully for that "one phone call". I'm not sure what my reaction is. I'm too far removed from the situation to feel it properly. I'll miss what she used to be, but guess I have been already, since she went into the nursing home. God Bless you in your new life, gram.
After lessons Michiyo called about a news release for our Shirotopia show.
I went grocery shopping, and am now relaxing, contemplating life, age, and death, and preparing to watch "Young Sherlock Holmes".
