I should tell all about my crappy day. I got up at 6.45am and went to work. Work was busy. Then I came home at 10.00am (short shift). Then we had morning tea at my house with two relatives. It was boring. I can't make small talk at all. we had to have long in depth conversations about our family tree and who is related to whom. who cares? Then I

So my day consisted of work, wake, funeral, work. how pathetic.
It's not pathetic, it's a little sad and depressing, but not pathetic.

Well I mean, if one were to judge your life by that day, they would say it was sad and depressing. But I suppose if you were to judge the day against other days, for example a day at the beach, you could call the day pathetic.
Did that make sense?

sorry for my loss and that his heart went out to our grieving family. I tried not to laugh.
That sounds so wrong, so I had to comment on it, but at the same time it makes sense. Although it is sad that she died. But then again, if she was sick, it is for the best. But death is always sad, or, at least, it should be.

Also once you reach 97, how many people do you think will still be alive that you knew throughout your life to come to your funeral? 7 sounds pretty good to me.
(This is why I plan on dying young. So I can have a full house at my funeral. Promise? Thanks.)

Oh forgot to add, I thought you had the gift of the small talk. Obviously I was wrong.

i agree with jody here... it's not pathetic at all.

and jody... you're planning your death?? isn't that a little morbid?

[therhythmthief]

I'm not planning my death, at least not in the way it sounds. I don't have a plan that I will set into action when I reach a certain age...

I just hope that I don't live to be so old that I can't look after myself and walk and then have to have someone else do it for me... I also don't want to get so old that all of my friends and family have died (for I don't think I will be having children...) and I have to live my life in solitude, or face trying to make friends with other little old ladies, playing bingo and bridge (although the canasta wouldn't be so bad...) while we try unsucessfully to communicate using our hearing aids...
Yeah, that's not my idea of a great way to go out...

my day was ok, just work

At least a lot happened. MOst of my days just consist of sleep, food, piano, work, piano, then more sleep.

Talking to relatives it always a bit weird.
That's why christmas = awkward.

i was about to comment that i would come to your funeral and then i realised that firstly i may not be around to fulfill that promise, and secondly i dont think i would wish to fulfill it because being at your funeral would make me very sad.
so i wasnt going to say that for fear of looking stupid but now i have gone and said it anyway....
but i will say that i have no doubt that you will have WAY more than seven people at your funeral. i dont think you need to worry.

also, i would have thought that priests would have been good at shaking hands. dont they have to do stuff like that all the time?!

I have found in my experience, that most ministers and priests and people like that have clammy hands. I've had two ministers that have had a good hand shake, I would even go so far as to say that one of them was exceptional, but mostly... Clammy.
