I've been dead tired today. Then I remembered that I need to take the time out of my busy schedule to eat, rest, etc., or I'm not going to feel any better. I think maybe the fact that I've been cutting back on caffeine the past 2 days might have something to do with it.
I did see a career counselor last week, and she wasn't totally unhelpful, but I can see why a lot of people say career counselors don't tell them much they didn't already know. She did give me a whole bunch of pointers on my resume, which was cool, and I did manage to determine that I won't be going back to school anytime in the immediate future and that I need to get a day job... but the rest seemed more like typical career "advice" kind of stuff, which was nothing I hadn't heard before. oh well, it wasn't bad, and I figured that if I learned anything from that meeting, it was worth the time.
Katie's funeral was Friday. I usually don't do funerals too well, and as soon as I walked into the church, I lost my shit and the tears started flowing. I think everyone did the best they could to make it a celebration of Katie's life, but considering the circumstances, it was still pretty heartbreaking. I couldn't help but wonder what Katie would have though about all her family and friends gathering together to show how much they cared. She probably would have been quite touched.
It's going to take me some time to get over this. Once you met her, she was really not the sort of person you ever wanted to say goodbye to. It kills me that she'll never be able to live out her dream of going to college and spending more time with her birth father. She was also a huge inspiration to me as a writer and artist.
Here are some of the songs from Katie's old band, Left On Calliope.
