Monday Mornings...

Well it's Monday. And usually Monday's are a pain in the butt, however for most of June and all of July Mondays have been a nice break from the world. I had a buttload of vacation time at work so with a little prompting I took every Monday off in those two months with the culmination of a week off in July. Even after all that time off I still have 40 hours of vacation time. Now the other point in this is I usually have Tuesdays off so that makes 3 day weekends for a couple of months. :) So this morning I'm at my mom's and we will be off to breakfast once everybody gets up and then a quick stop by the Library to check on some things and then we'll head to the pool for awhile and then home. Once there I just have to take the trash off. Once that's done everything will be cool and I can take Tuesday off an chill around the house for a bit. then its off to work. At the end of the month I am going to take care of some family business that has been weighing heavily on my mind the past few days. Back on Aug 08, 2006 my father passed away and I have had his ashes with me in the car. We have done a lot of traveling but now I am getting the feeling that it's time to lay him to rest and say my final goodbyes. I know sentamental but thats who I am . I plan to take him back to the place we loved the most. Florida. I just seem to recall him having the most fun there and with me. So we're going to visit all of our old haunts and I will drop him off at our favorite lake. We're going down for about 4 days and the wife will get to take pictures of birds. So this is a vacation/funeral if you want to pt a label on it. But funeral is really too strong of a word. I guess I'm searching for closure. I never really mourned my dad like I should and I think that's what has me so low at this time of the year. I've never perscribed to mourning the dead past their death but then I have never had a close family member die. I can tell even in my heart that I am now closing off my heart to my mother in some quiet way to protect myself so that when it finally happens I won't be a non functioning emotional wreck. And she's still doing pretty good. It's a defense mechanism I guess. Oh well enough of that. I am looking forward to driving down to Florida for my first time ever. I have made the trip several times but I have never driven it. Always been the passenger. This time it will be different. I will go places that I want to go and see things that I want to see. And I just love driving through the swamp in GA because of the smell. I know it's weird but I always liked driving through that area.
Oh well its time to go get breakfast.
Later everybody.
