My family seems to think I'm able to conjure up cards on demand. They don't seem to understand that my process of making cards takes days to make one.
I just got home from running errands, when my father told me my cousin had called. She had picked out a bouquet of flowers from my sister and I for my grandmother and she wanted to know if we wanted a ribbon. To which my father answered that that wasn't necessary: I would make a card. So when I got in I was told I had to make a card.
I kind of exploded. For the passed week I've been keeping all my emotions inside and this was the final straw. It's really had for me to put together a card in less than a day and for me it's unimaginable to put something together for my grandmother's funeral.
My mother's suggestion was to make "something with a branch or a flower or something". Not helpful.
Now I need to think of something, and something that works with the supplies I've got (nearby art store is closed on Monday). Otherwise I'll be blamed for having a bouquet without anything.
