Warning: A good deal of this will no doubt sound like bragging...it's not. But I need to say it somewhere.
So, it's finally stopped snowing...for a few days. Has it gotten warmer though? No, not really. Was I pleased to hear the report on the Weather Channel that Vancouver has seen the warmest and dryest winter on record? No, I was not. Am I pondering going to grad school in Vancouver? Yes I am.
So, I now have car. Or will, when I get back to Oakville in April. Unfortunately, it seems (at least to my guilty conscious) that a ton of good things have come from my grandmother's passing. Funny, how things like that work. I now have more things than I quite know what to do with. Though, I have been made aware, that instead of just hoping I marry into a rich family, I had better, because I'm not sure what the hell else I'm going to do with 3 fur coats. It's not like the average person wears them around... Though, I think I might finally get an emerald ring, which I've been asking for for years. And even better, it's great-grandmother's, which makes it special. And now the guilt is starting in...
My mother relayed a really funny story to me today. My aunt and great-uncle were driving back from the bank today, and my aunt was worrying about money and everything, and my uncle turned to her and put his hand on her shoulder and said: "Don't worry. You're a millionaire now." Have not stopped laughing about it for 30 minutes now. It's weird, and hasn't really sunk in yet, but he's right. She is a millionaire...and so is mom. Wow. That's the first time I've actually said that. Millionaire...sounds...weird. And I'm an heiress now. Which sounds even weirder. Huh.
And the estate should be cleared up right about the time I graduate. Fancy that. ;D
The unfortunate thing is, I never realized how blessed I was to have the grandmother I did, until 4 days before she died. At least I got to tell her that. Foresight is a wonderful, and cursed, gift.
