Hope everything's going well for all of you.
THings here could be better. My mother passed away about a month ago. SHe fought for 5 years, and during those five years she saw her two kids get married and her first grandchild, so I firmly believe she was ready. She passed literally about a month after my sister's wedding, so it's almost like she made a deal with her cancer: let me "dance at my daughter's wedding" (her words, no lie. and she did!) and then you can have me. The funeral service and viewing were packed. Standing room only at the service, no shit. The funeral home said they had never seen such a turnout (we squashed an oriental viewing at the same time) or seen so many flowers.
My sister and I found out later one of her dying wishes was for my father to get us out of credit card debt with the life insurance money. That will be nice.
Other than being on anti-anxiety medicine now, I feel fine and am in good health according to my last checkup. Good blood pressure, weight, cholesterol, clear chest x-ray and EKG.
Starting at a new store location on Monday. Should be fun since I won't be dealing with customers for about a month. ALso, I'm going back to school. My mom and sister were always pestering me to go back to school to get an accounting degree, and the wife likes the idea, so I'll probably be starting here in a few weeks. Just waiting for the app to be accepted. My dad approves and has offered to pay for it.
Musically, I've been listening to nothing but doom. Sleep, Rev Biz, Warning, Penance, Church of Misery, The Wizar'd, Grand Magus, etc. Just recently got some High on Fire, and it's very enjoyable. But Gods Tower takes the cake. The Eerie and The Turns are simply amazing.
Well, until next time.
