If I leave right now I can make good time
Oh, man... the funeral was really touching. I thought the eulogies were amazingly well put-together. His children are incredible speakers, wow. I was laughing at the stories told by each one... breaks your heart yet also makes it burst with love to see the people he was so dear to speaking so honestly about some of the times that they cherish. I was doing all right for the most part, but totally lost it the second Nancy did -- just began sobbing uncontrollably. To see her finally break down just did me in. This entire week she's had a stoic and strong front, but to see it crumble before your eyes -- it's just so heartbreaking... knowing she lost him little by little these past ten years and now finally having to let go and be able to say goodbye. In a way it almost seems like it would be easier on her this way... but then, no part of losing someone you love is easy. :( I just hope she takes care of herself and has her family there for her -- I would think this time will be quite an adjustment... best wishes to her and the rest of the clan.
Damn, I'm behind on the JC month thing. That just means I get to go look through my pictures for some to re-share, so that's always fun. It'll have to wait until later though. :)
Wednesday I went to my cousin's 8th grade graduation. Holy crap her class was big -- almost 500 kids. That took about, oh, 4 hours in the blinding sunlight. lmfao. She was really happy we all came and that made me happy. We were starving by the end of it, so afterward we stopped and grabbed a bite to eat at Carl's Jr. and while we were in line This I Promise You began playing, aww. But to get back on topic, I can't believe she is in high school now. That's just a milestone you always have in the back of your mind, but when it actually happens it's like it snuck up on you when you weren't looking. Kids grow fast.
Thursday I went and watched my Grampa play in his Senior Softball Tournament. It's so funny. All these old men getting all upset over bad calls and pop-ups, lmao. I haven't gone to see him play in ten years. When I was a kid, my Gramma would pack lunches for her, me, my cousin and my Grampa and we'd all head down to the softball field where he'd play and hang out from like 11 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon. Those were great summers. I was bat girl for his team one year and nearly got myself killed. I had run over to home plate to pick up the bat, but a runner was coming in from third and the shortstop had thrown the ball to home to try and get him out. I heard lots of yelling but I'd grown accustomed to that so I didn't think much of it -- until I looked out and realized they were yelling at me. The ball came about 4 inches from my face. Scary! That was the end of my stint as bat girl, lmao.
Had a really great day at work Friday :) Everyone was just in a great mood and it's so pleasant to help people when they're easygoing. I feel the need to remind myself when I have good days there and appreciate them because sometimes going to work can be absolute shit, lol. Not often, but when those days come along I have to remember that they aren't always so horrible. The crush thing is confusing me though. I haven't figured out yet if he's just a flirty type or if he really might like me back. That sounds so high school. "He likes me," lol. I'm always reluctant to read into guys' actions too much but I'd like to get a better idea of just why he's so nice to me all the time. Maybe it's just for the sake of being nice? I guess I'll just have to be patient to find out... but then, I am not one to resist an urge and take my chances asking out a guy. Judging from what he's said though I think I may practically have to hit him over the head to get him to understand that I like him, lol. Only time will tell I suppose...
Okay, time to get to bed. I only came out here because I wanted to get some water! Found myself in the chair at the computer right after. But now it's time for sleep -- enjoy your weekend, guys :)
