It's Friday and it's Flyday as well! I'm up ungodly early to get ready to fly out to Michigan for Jess' Dad's funeral. Not looking forward to it.
It's not going to be a fun weekend by any stretch, and I hate that Jess' stuck doing it. They hadn't seen their father in nearly a decade (because he was an asshole who tried to bribe them into leaving me). I was not good enough in his eyes, being lower/middle class and a woman. I was just going to bring them down. And I won't lie, we've struggled, but we struggled together and that's the important part.
I don't really think anyone is going to throw a fit at the funeral. They're too midwest for that. Might get a few backhanded pokes, but nothing more. If anyone does want to throw down, I will probably punch them in the throat, but we'll see.
Tomorrow, we have the long-ass visitation. I am as ready for it as I can be. I've got a dress, tights, shoes and a fuckton of makeup, so I look presentable. Then Sunday, we fly home. I sprung for first class tickets, so we should have priority security and boarding, which will be nice. We'll be in around noon, and home by 1pm is there are no major delays.
Yesterday was busy. I ended up cancelling our game, because there was no way we were getting everything done if we had to do that as well. I'm sorry, because that's 3 games cancelled for this, but it needed to happen. Otherwise, I'd have been rushing this morning and that's how things get forgotten.
As it is, I need to open the suitcase and pack a couple of more things. I forgot to pack my tights and I think my makeup is going in there as well. That way I have room in my bag for my kindle and the sound machine.
I had a really bad brain night last night. Just completely melted down over the state of the house. The money from the estate means that we got a lot of stuff, and a lot of it requires assembly. So we have a ton of boxes, plus the problem our normal tendency to put stuff down on every single surface and never pick it up again.
We're going to work on that when we get home. I also couldn't reach my toenail clippers, which fell behind my dresser, which is kind of what set me off. All the frustration just bubbled over.
But today, I am goal focused. We will go to the airport and park, and then we will fly out. We will get to the Best Western, and then we will go see Jess' brother for a bit, maybe dinner, and then we will go back to the Best Western and relax.
Okay, time for that shower. Do I want to put on makeup today? I might a little bit. Just a little foundation and blush, maybe eyeliner. We'll see. Definitely moisturizer.
Everyone have an excellent Friday!
