Carpe Diem...or, suck my balls, two times.
My grandfather died earlier this month on the 7th, he was 81 or 82. He apparently had a heart attack in his sleep. But at least he passed on in his favorite chair peacefully. So, we went down to VA to make sure my grandmother was alright, and help her with funeral stuffs. Turns out that we didn't have the funeral until exactly a week after he died, so that's where I was. It was a sad time, my dad was all boohoo and depressed (which y'know I understand, considering that was his father after all). I got to see a lot of cousins and uncles and aunts. It's nice to see family again, but it sucks that it had to be under those circumstances.
My grandfather's wishes were to be cremated, but my grandmother wanted to hold a service with him in his navy uniform and stuff, y'know the final goodbye for people before he was cremated. Unfortunately, the assholes at the funeral home didn't keep him on ice like they were supposed to or whatever, so his body started to decompose :( Either way, the funeral service for him was really nice.
Spending that time away in VA gave me a lot of time to think. Think about things I want to do, places I want to go, and my relationships with people. I don't like to be on bad terms with people if I don't have to be, and I really don't like to burn bridges with people if I don't absolutely have to, but life is too short to take people's bullshit. If you want to get mad at me for silly shit, go on ahead, I won't stop you. As long as you don't get in my way of what I want to accomplish and whatever, you can say what you want.
Sooo, mostly I've been trying to get my head back in the game lately, more determined than ever to get this job shit taken care of. I technically do still work at Bath and Body Works, in fact, I go in today for a floor set at 6, that is if they don't already finish, god knows the store is probably so dead, like tumbleweed dead. It's still the same old song and dance, though. They're not giving me enough hours. I highly doubt that even with the semi-annual sale coming up in June that they'll give me more hours that AREN'T call ins.
So, that covers half of my lack of existence here. The other half? I just never really know what to say, what to post. I think faster than I type, so trying to type everything that I think of is damn near impossible for me. I just have too many thoughts, and by the time I get to pick and choose, I've already forgotten half of them. The ones that matter, anyway.
I've had this weird swimmer's ear thing since I got back, and the hearing in my right ear is reduced by half, that goddamn muffled sound, like when you cover your ears and you can hear yourself, it's so annoying. But my ear hurt really bad at first, and then my throat was killing me as well. Now? No sore throat, no ear pain. But still, muffled hearing. I'm going to go to a doctor very soon.
getting ready to go have sushi.
I wish it was Tuesday night. Tuesday nights = Rock Band Nights = Awesomeness that is Me, Barbara, and Brittany.
"Panic Switch" By Silversun Pickups is a really good song.
