Found a Friend

I went outside and cooked lunch for me and my beloved wife on the grill. While I was out there I made a new friend. His name is Woody. As in Woody Woodpecker.

It’s a beautiful Sunday today. How is that possible?

Planning

We went over some plans for the funeral service. We also wrote out an obituary. For the service it feels like there are more things to do than we have people to do them. It’s frustrating. As always, I want to make everyone happy and I just can’t.

There was some talk of my father’s will tonight. that weirded me out in a major way. I’m sure there will be more to come, but it’s something I never wanted to think about and now that it has begun, I want it even less.

Miss Robin tried to make me feel better. She’s fluffy and cute so that’s something she’s good at.

As for tomorrow? No idea. I want to spend time with my wife. I want to spend time with music. I want to go grocery shopping. I want to jump into the car with Jen and run away and not come back for days. So… the usual Saturday thinking.

Flowers

Ordering funeral flowers

Sad.

Emotional Support Nap

The Emotional Support Cats are having an Emotional Support Nap Time. That’s okay with me.

Assemble

The doctor said it could happen soon. Hours or days. He recommended calling in the troops.

Mental Health Music

The guitar was played this morning before work. Purely for mental health reasons.

Cosmic Coincidence

My father was moved to a hospice facility last night. It’s the same facility my mother went to in February 2023.

That’s not the cosmic coincidence the title of this post refers to.

He is in the same room. He’s in the same bed.

At first I was completely freaked out by this. Now, after stewing over it for about 12 hours or so, I’m beginning to see the romance behind it. He’s not aware of it, but if he were he’d probably be delighted by it. I’m going to try to choose to feel the same.
