My friend Julie is giving birth right now! Exciting! :D

And here is what she said, I just copy-pasted her message. :)

Hello there! Sorry I left without any notice, I just kind of decided I wanted to start fresh account, I had another one from ages ago that I’ve never used so I’ll be using that in the future. But I probably won’t be around for awhile, I have absolutely no time because of school. I don’t even get home until about seven, and I still have work to do!

I will be back though and I’ve resubscribed to all the people I was subscribed to before so I’ll be able to find every one again!

Oh, and I’m not on flickr and more because I just don’t really like it and as I said I’ve no time for photos either.

Tell everyone I say hi! :)

Someone I had given over 400 cheers. So it must be someone who was active, obviously.

I’m in a bit of a hurry right now, so I don’t have time to try to start guessing who it was. If someone knows, let me know too.

Global warming?

We had snow for a couple of weeks here now, we had several snowstorms already and the temperature was often between -10 C and 0 C. It did feel like winter.

But now it’s 16 C outside, which is really warm, even if it’s not sunny! And most of the snow melted, only a few little amounts are left, like on the sides of the road.

They say Quebec and some other regions of the North-East of North-America will be affected in a different way by global warming. It’s not getting warmer, our winters are still deadly freezing, but the weather gets really unstable and changes really fast. Since a couple of years, it seems to be more true than ever.

My point? None. Just a little thought, like this.

Which is something rare, because I swear, I read everything my 45 subscriptions write EVERY DAY.

I’ll catch up tomorrow, though. :)

While I was unsnowing my car this afternoon, two bunnies were playing in the snow only a few metres away from me. They were so cute!!! :P They already had their white fur.

On an unrelated note, we got our first snow storm of the year today.

I found this entry I wrote 20 months ago, and I couldn’t help but smile. Not only because my English was so bad back then, but because it’s one of the last good memories I have with my grandmother. :)

I cried at the funeral.

I cried at the cemetery.

But I’m proud, because when we had to choose who was going to put the box in the hole, everyone said they couldn’t do it.

I was already crying really hard, but I said “I’ll do it.”

And so, after hugging the urn for a few seconds, keeping it close to my heart, I’ve put my grandmother under the ground. What a feeling. I think I’ve never cried like this before. I’ll miss her so much.

During these few days though, for the first time in a death situation, I felt like people were there for me. Since I was in the close family, probably her closest grandchild, people were really supportive, and this support has helped me a lot. I feel so grateful for that! Earlier, a girl I know from secondary school, who became a nurse, contacted me (we rarely talk to each other) to tell me that she knew my grandmother back when she lived at the elderly residence, and she said she was such a lovely person, that she loved her… This kind of comments is heartwarming.

Today, I think I cried all the tears I could. My eyes still burn, but it feels good. My grandmother only exists in our memories now, she doesn’t suffer anymore. I’m sad I won’t be seeing her again, or hearing her voice, but we all go through this, we have to accept it. The people we love are not going to live forever.

She had her place reserved, next to my grandfather’s tomb. After the burial, I stood there for a few minutes, in front of the two graves, and remembered the two grandparents I had the chance to know. It was hard… very hard. But I’ll go back there once in a while, visit them.

Go on Google, type: “Find Chuck Norris” and then click on “I’m feeling lucky”.

Very funny! :P

Jaymie (alias MarcieBrooks) did delete her account. :(

I just hoped she would have changed her mind somehow. At least I have her on my Facebook.
