I can’t even read obituary comments without crying and we have to somehow manage a funeral? (We’re only doing a graveside service but there is a eulogy and a song and other people near me)

Mom’s decided on Kenny Roger’s “Through the Years” for the graveside service song. She was going to do a church song because it’s “expected” but I told her to fuck expectations, and she said well….”I’d really like that Kenny Rogers song.” Good taste!

We have a first draft. We will let it sit for a night, consult with mom and aunt, and then finalize. I'll share it with you because everyone else in this house is asleep.

Have I had enough tequila to write an obituary? Let's find out!

It’s a double-edged sword to have a wonderful circle who sends the kindest notes but then 😭😭.
Also, this song assaulted me when I got into the car to come home today. The algorithm with the emotional violence!

I just got the dumbest peer review feedback on a book chapter that is already accepted to the edition. I needed something external to put all my anger toward. The universe provides!

If you tell me it's okay and healthy to feel/express emotions, I will block you. We are in tenuous mental health status here.
Dad's bone marrow cancer dr's team just came by. They said his dr, whom he loves, knows the situation and her heart was hurting, which caused my first full on tears in public. No thank you to human emotions IN PUBLIC please. How embarrassing to live in this goddamn human body.

I made it to his icu room and holy shit this does really fucking suck
It turns out that when people tell me they’re sorry for the current dad dying situation, I burst into tears. But my friend who told me “it really fucking sucks” is my favorite. Because there’s a natural response. Yeah, it does fucking suck. No tears!
