RIP Jack :(
Mom came in to work today and told me Jack, grandma's English husband, died yesterday..awww, so sad! :( He was such a nice guy and had a long full life (he was 99 when he passed). During World War 2 he designed airplanes! He will definitely be missed. I think mom and Aunt Cindy will try to go to his funeral, unless covid makes it virtual only. I feel like getting grandma back to the US will be a big job. I'll miss going to England to visit them, but maybe I can see grandma more often when she gets back to the US. Goodbye, Jack, I hope you're in a nice place where you can see and hear again!
Yesterday I saw that mom had commented on my autism video on Facebook, which surprised (and pleased!) me, because she doesn't go on Facebook much, but she said Jo told her about it and she decided to check it out. I also TRIED to say that I posted it on the Facebook autism group too, and yikes my words failed me so badly! I cringed so hard when trying to say "posted," and the rest of the sentence felt so mixed up! I said "ugh, I hate that word!" and when mom said "which one?" I said "po-po-post!!" Mom was like "WTF why are you stuttering??" *dies of embarrassment* I told her it was Donald's fault LOL. That happened like three hours ago and I'm still cringing (yeahh that's why I try not to say that word!). I have a feeling I'm not going to live that down haha. I hate when my brain dies like that though, ugh!
