One Week Away...

The weekend, so far, has been mixed with good and bad. I went to a festival with my mother back in my hometown, and brought one of my friends along; we had a pretty good time, and while there I bought myself a bird-shaped necklace. I'm not entirely sure what kind of bird it's supposed to be, but as I have my favorite types of birds, I have options as well. Hopefully, I'll be able to show a picture of it in a future update.

That was the good. The bad, however, was when I went to visit my grandfather. (That part is never bad, by the way.) I went inside my old house that has been inhabited by several people since I moved and was stunned at the state of it. The last family that lived inside it completely destroyed it! Sure, the main living room had been painted but other than that, the place looks entirely uninhabitable now. As for my old room...whoever used it literally put hand prints on one of the four walls, and put graffiti on two other walls!

Next Saturday, I will definitely have mixed emotions. Despite the fact that my mother and I are going out of town to see my baby cousin, who is having a birthday party a few days before her birthday, that day marks the fact that it's been two years-officially-that my grandmother died.
