I love when my mother speaks at funerals. She always has me cracking up. I want her to speak at my funeral. Except, you know, ugh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I felt bad about my grandma's funeral, but my mom and dad are really practical and I had paid for everything, and they were like "Well, it's just the burial, so go."
So I went. If they had wanted me to stay, I would have, but I am firmly of the opinion that funerals are for the living, and I didn't care about anyone's feelings but theirs, so...

Since I don't do funerals, a previously planned vacation sounds like a perfect excuse to me.

They have on their menu the option of the chili over a baked potato. OH MY GOD SO GOOD. Seriously. I am so happy.

I am seriously bad. But I will get better! It was ok for me to look goofy and pop up spluttering every two strokes,
Doesn't matter. I'm apparently scary at my Y. When we have to do circle swim, the lifeguards tell me which lane to use. But the thing is? The guy who can barely do half a length and is spluttering mercilessly, but keeps trying the entire time I am in the water? I admire him. I actually feel bad when he asks what I've swum, because my distance is not his distance. I'll compete with other swimmers like me, but not those still figuring it out. Been there.
At my maternal grandmother's funeral, our entire side of the church burst into laughter due to my wee cousin's acting up. Pastor just said "It's good to have so many Ps in the pews today!" They were notorious for cracking the congregation up!

Oh, my god. My dinner is so fantastic. I made a taco salad because I have plenty of lettuce and tomato and hot peppers and bell peppers, and I topped it with homemade guacamole. It's a meat party in my mouth, and don't you wish you were invited?

ION, I need more foodie friends. I got a line on one of those underground restaurants but I'm not sure any of my local friends will be up for it.
I'm intrigued!

I may have solved my dinner dilemma by a judicious application of applesauce.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
On shot I wouldn't worry about, two I would. i would try boarding . When I had to medicate a difficult cat I also -- closed all door s so he had a limitted area and moved the futon couch so he couldn't hide under it.
I had a tuna sandwich. and I have no more open wine.
