Wedding Woes

Fri-yay

I'm glad it's the end of this week.  The heat is just zapping any energy I am able to gather up.

No big plans for the weekend.  I'll get the last bit of the garage organized and then I should be able to get my car in the garage and figure out how to get my workout equipment managed.  Need to get the last few things on my vanity table organized and then there will be no more boxes to unpack.  I can't find anyone to work on my turntable, so I'm just going to see if I can Youtube some videos and maybe fix it.  If I can't, I'll buy a new one, which is what I'm looking at right now anyway.  So, just stuff.

The Alamo Drafthouse is doing some sort of Japanese film retrospective and I'm buying aaaallll the tickets.  I never thought I'd get to see Kurosawa's "Ran" on the big screen (it's very basically King Lear, done in 1985, placed in the feudal warlord era of Japan).

Other than that, SSDD.  My work motivation is low today and I'm off early, so looking forward to just a relaxing weekend of goofing off at home.

Re: Fri-yay

  • Also feeling those feels of not working.

    Yesterday bad storms rolled through. Very short. 20 minutes max. I joked “please let the power go out. Please let the power go out” at work SO WE COULD GO HOME EARLY - and the powers that be should have known this. Instead it took out the power at my house! At first they said it’ll be restored at noon. Then 6. It got too hot and clammy in my house so I went into work.  Thankfully I’m leaving tomorrow for a week long trip and had very little food that needed tossing. But anyone who just went grocery shopping!!! Ouch! I threw some medication that needs refrigeration into a cooler. My mounjaro would be fine but my dad has his humara shipped to me so I could bring it to him, and that stuff can only be out a few hours. I just got a text that it’s back up, so I’ll go home to see. Thankfully I live pretty close to test that theory. I had a cleaner coming in at 8:30 but asked if she could move the appt, but she hasn’t gotten back to me yet.

    @CharmedPam are you in the Chicago area?  I work for the Chicago office as well now, and one of my attorneys was bumped off of a deposition over Zoom b/c of their storms.  There were some other folx who had issues too b/c it was storming so badly.  I was worried about them...and also glad it wasn't me for once, b/c this storm season in MO has been terrible.
  • @levioosa, my heart goes out to you and your family.  I'm so sorry to hear about your brother.

  • Oh @levioosa I’m so so sorry. You can know it’s a possibility but I’m sure that doesn’t make it hurt any less. Thinking of you, your parents, and your family. Virtual hugs. 
  • I’m so sorry to hear this @levioosa, that is heartbreaking. Thoughts & prayers go out to your family

    yup @VarunaTT, Chicagoland. Someone from San Diego was visiting our office and she was freaking out because SD has such calm weather with little rain. We’re like “naw, it’s just thunder and lightening. Carry on”.   

  • I'm so sorry @levioosa.

    Thanks everyone. I feel like I’ve been grieving for two decades but it still doesn’t make it easy when it really happens. I am bracing myself for the grandparents. Addiction can fucking die in a dumpster fire.

  • I'm so very sorry for you and your family, @levioosa. Yes, take care of yourself over the coming days.
  • I'm so sorry for your loss, @levioosa. Be kind to yourself during this difficult time.

    Jeez @levioosa I’m so very sorry. Whether you see it coming or not, it doesn’t change the heartbreak that addiction causes. Sending you and your family all of the peace right now *virtual hug*
  • Oh no @levioosa I'm so sorry. That just sucks so much, even when you knew it was possible.

    I'll pray for you and your family and ask some people who have more free time to pray to pray as well. Hopefully that knowledge helps you in some way.
