Why do I not have a PANIC! Icon?
So, oh god life what is this stop being so horrible and roller coaster like. I have two funerals coming up that I have to attend. (Even though only one of the deceased is someone I actually knew well and will miss.) Which already just makes life bad because Roman Catholic funerals are not one day affairs. No they usually are two-three day affairs, at least amongst the German population up here in the town below Pikes Peak. What with the Wake one day, the funeral the next, and then the pot luck remembering and helping the surviving family settle things by either storing or getting rid of items that belonged to the deceased. Not to mention doing so despite my gibbering dislike of going near and touching anything dead. Which you have to do at most of the Wakes I've been to because you usually leave a letter or item in the casket that has some sort of personal meaning between you and the deceased.
Add to this that I'm eligible now to get a slot in a Basic Training term that is not a year and a day away from now. Yay on that until I then recall that this means I can get a call tomorrow morning saying for me to gather what I am allowed and need to bring with me as I'm heading out the next day for Basic. This of course has the fun affect of causing me to freak the fuck out since that means I need to pack everything that needs to go into storage, have everything like phone and such ready to be disconnected as soon as I get the call, make certain everything not going into storage is able to be quickly stowed away in a secure area where the drunk of an Uncle that lives in the basement of my grandparents house can't get to it while I'm away, and not to mention keeping the family up to date so that they're not going WTF and start calling the National Guard when I blip off the face of the map for two months.
So yeah this is yeah if I somehow write anything between now and when I fling myself back on here to happily squeak about surviving Basic and being able to call myself an actual member of the U.S. Navy, it will be by sheer luck and inspiration and possibly because I'll have nothing else to do as I sit and watch the phone like a hawk and diving for it every time it rings. Granted it is unusual to get such a call, and most usually only ship out weeks after being put on the accelerated list. Yet, that doesn't mean it can't happen and I'd rather be ready in advance and just waiting for the call then to get it and have to do everything rushed and last minute.
Also because there is a chance of it happening tomorrow and I'm not certain if I'll have time to do it then I'll just do it in advance.
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the snow has arrived. WHY!?
