Goodness gracious sakes alive....
I've been over at Randye's for about an hour now. This whole time has been 1) reading through my friend's page and 2) posting the last story to all the places it needed to be posted. That's it. One hour come and gone and I have little to show for it! I wasn't planning on staying much longer but I still have other stuff to do!!!!! The weekend can not come fast enough!
Tomorrow is the funeral of the father of a family that I was very close with in high school. It's a super sad time for them but I have to say that I'm excited to see all of them. It's been years since I've seen most of them and this time there is the addition of 10 little kids. Yep. The five of them combined have had ten kids... not to mention spouses and one ex-wife. That means the house is currently holding 22 people. Chaos indeed!
And then there are the people coming in for the funeral. It's going to be like old times tomorrow! I'll have to put on my A-game smile and it's a little tarnished this week. There have been MULTIPLE people who have thought I should know their new insurance information even though THEY don't know it. And instead of having them call their own insurance provider for their own information, I've been nice (a saint, I was told by a co-worker) and calling for them. It actually is faster if I do it and I know what I'm asking for. Anyway, there have been butt-heads who don't appreciate it or how stressed this time of year is for us (because the world really DOES revolve around them, don't you know) and they haven't been very kind. This guy last night yelled at me for something I hadn't really done. Well, not really. I was on the outskirts of the problem so it wasn't like my hands are completely clean of the situation. I'm tired of smiling but it does protect my heart to have my wide "oh, you think this is my real smile" smile on my face on days like the last ones.
It's supposed to be super cold tonight. Like 6 degrees. Ummm... that's not cold but whatever you say weather.com because you're supposed to be the experts of these things. Just don't snow, okay? I have to drive to the funeral tomorrow and I'm not confidant on the roads of Ketchum anymore.
And I have to say that I'm a little irritated with myself for thinking I was further along in the graph for rarepair_shorts than I actually was so I showed my hand a little early with this last fic. It's too late to go back and I've discovered that I can't go backwards with this story very successfully. It throws everything off. So I'll just have to go forward a little slower than expected. *growls*
I have three more New Year drabbles to write, one large fest to finish (oh, I shouldn't lie... to start), one VERY LARGE fest to continue with and a plot bunny to cook for dinner. *grins* All in a day's work for this writer these days!
