There's a lullaby for suffering and a paradox to blame

It's Monday and I woke up with a bit of a headache. I took some ibuprofen, but it hasn't quite had time to kick in yet. Hopefully, it disappears soon, as I know today is going to be busy at work, After work, I'm off to pick up Dad's ashes from MD Cremation. Not looking forward to fighting traffic to Glen Burnie/Millersville after work. I am going to ask if there's any chance I could use half of my eight bereavement hours left to go to get them. I think technically they're supposed to be used all at once, but I'm still going to ask. I figure it can't hurt.

Yesterday was a busy day too. We took some of Dad's bedding, diaper wipes and pee pads down to the BARCS animal shelter down town. It's in an interesting area. Not a great area, but one where gentrification is slowly starting to encroach. They had enormous bins in the front for donations, which were all stuffed, so that was a good thing.

Then, we stopped at our storage unit and got that set up. It's just somewhere we can put the new stuff we're slowly going to acquire for the new apartment, so we don't have to have it all in the house that we're trying to get shit out of. It's a small little unit, but I think it'll be enough for us.

After that, we celebrated the end of a shitty month and went to Fogo De Chao for dinner. It was delicious. My favorites were two of the new things they have. Grilled cheese with honey, and my absolute favorite grilled pork belly with spicy honey and lime juice. Just, fuck that was good. I would have asked for two had I known how fucking tasty that would be.

After that, it was home to sit in a food coma until bedtime. Slept like a log, and now it is time to consider putting on pants and getting myself together. Everyone have the very best Monday you can have!
