Can't seem to catch a cold
My body is trying to catch a cold but it won't. I know this sounds weird, but my sinuses are sort of conjested and I sort of have a cough, but my sinuses aren't fully conjested and I don't have a full cough. It's annoying, because I'm not feeling 100%. I've been, like, running on 78% of my usual energy level for the past five days but running on 78% really isn't stay-at-home-and-lie-in-bed percentage so it's been annoying. I'd rather fully catch a cold, to be honest, so I'd have a good reason to stay in bed and take some days off from work.
Anyway..... my mom's best friend passed away the other day. The really sad thing is that my mom's best friend's family refused to have a funeral or any kind of memorial service, which made my mom even more upset than she already is. The step sister woman, to be specific, said she didn't want to waste her time and money on a funeral or memorial service of any kind and just sent the body to the crematorium. I get that there's this whole she's-my-step-sister-and-not-my-real-sister thing and that may have led to the step sister deciding to I'll-just-send-my-step-sister's-corpse-to-the-crematorium-so-I-don't-have-to-spend-my-money-on-a-funeral, but my mom and I both feel that it's just real bitchy and selfish for the step sister woman to not even have any kind of memorial service. My mom, however, is making arrangements to have her own memorial service for her best friend. She feels that'll give her a sense of closure and I hope it will because they truly were best friends since high school. That's a 50+ year friendship right there.
May you rest in peace, ゆめちゃん. Thanks for being my mom's best friend.
