Being the tip of the spear isn't without consequence, but sometimes you just have to fight the good fight despite the personal cost.

My mom is currently in the hospital on comfort care... which means I'm about to be an orphan. Even when you know it's a fate that awaits us all and we all just assume we'll outlive our parents, this just... this sucks.
I have a million thoughts running through my head and no idea what to do.

Well... that's it... just got the call... officially an orphan... they're gonna call the funeral home my family has always used for me... head is spinning... heart is broken.
I don't even really know what's next. I guess life insurance stuff. I think I remember the funeral home helping with that.

I'd love to have enough to cover my mom's cremation by the time I go to the funeral home tomorrow.
If you can spare a few bucks, I'd sure appreciate it. Once I have the cremation & urn handled, I'll be able to move on and focus on getting everything else squared away while processing my grief.

DoorDash gift cards are one of the most thoughtful things you can do when someone is grieving… it lightens their load, reminds them you care, and compels them to continue operating as if life goes on by doing normal things like eating, but makes actually doing that as easy to accomplish as possible.

Everything feels like this right now... everything. Like, going to the bathroom feels like this. Standing up to go to the bathroom feels like this.
I know this is "normal" or whatever, but... damn.

Her daughter's car wouldn't start earlier, so I happened to be outside when the woman's husband showed up just now to pick up my mom's walker.
I'm fine. This is fine. Watching him wander off to his car with my mom's walker in hand didn't make all this feel more real or anything. Not at all.

My mom was "that mom"... my friends could talk to her whether I was there or not. She was the "cool mom". I'm not even sure why I bothered with the whole "I WANT NO PART OF THIS" schtick at the time, because it's not like my refusing to go with them was gonna stop them from going to talk to her.
... went to my house to talk to my mom, who was definitely the only parent who would have even humored a conversation about renting a van for a bunch of dipshit midwestern teenagers to drive off by themselves to TIMES SQUARE on NEW YEAR'S EVE.
I wouldn't even go with them to talk to her. 😆

When I was 18, my friends somehow convinced my mother to rent us a minivan so we could drive to Times Square for New Year's Eve. This was a brilliant plan hatched by our friend Sean, while in the car on the way home from shopping... on December 29th.

P.S. Also works with donuts on a plate. And it's sorta great if you like chocolate iced donuts & such, because the heat only comes from the bottom, so it warms up the donut part without melting the icing off the top, the way a microwave does.

But no one seems to know any better
I designed it that way
I know it seems I have it together
But just because I carry it well
Doesn't mean it isn't heavy and I don't need some help
I know I keep it locked down, but all I want now
Is somebody who can tell me how it's gonna turn out

I still have Concannon's donuts to eat. I only at two yesterday. And there's nothing less like me than that. I'm not sure Concannon's donuts have ever survived to see day two.
Donuts & coffee are here. I'm about to try to bury a mountain of pain under a mountain of sugar. It's not gonna work, but I'm gonna give it my best shot anyway. Wish me luck.

Still haven't turned my TV off... since Monday. Pretty sure it's contributing to keeping this room warm at this point. I used to set my sleep timer every night, so it'd go off after I fell asleep. But if I were to wake up in the middle of the night in a dark, silent, empty house now... well...

My mom absolutely *loved* Drunk History. It was one of her all-time favorite shows. I'm gonna have to track those down. Especially the ones with Paget Brewster. We used to watch those and just laugh & laugh. She's a hilarious drunk.
It's the absolute best show Comedy Central has ever produced and I don't know why they stopped making new episodes. Paget Brewster's appearances on that show are some of the funniest things I have ever seen. It is amazing television. And that's how kids should learn history.

If there are any Doctor Who fans out there, I'll post some pictures when the time comes. There's some big stuff, like a huge framed poster, that I won't ship and will need to find a local home for, but I may ultimately decide to gift some of her other collectibles. You'll just pay shipping.

I keep seeing the commercial for the CMA Awards and... I don't know 95% of those people. Almost all of them could walk up to me on the street & I'd have no idea who they are. 1995 me wouldn't even recognize 2025 me.
Also... Lainey Wilson's over-the-top drawl is more cartoonish than Reba's.
