Gears and cogs

 So many phone calls to make after someone dies. All the stuff that needs to be cancelled. All the meetings we need to have. Spring Break is a blessing in disguise. I received flowers. They don't like being watered. 

  Meanwhile, InZOI launched the other day. Even if the game proves to be a huge success, I'm going to wait until I get a new desktop compy before I buy it. Beside that, I have nothing new. An overcast day and wet roads. Went for a drive. I avoid driving on the perimetre if I can. I did it today. Not fun.

  What am doing tomorrow? Phone calls, meetings to arrange. The party's only just begun.


BYE.

Au revoir, ma maman

 She died on the 27th. Not long after I posted the previous entry, the hospice called. I got there as soon as I could. This saga has had many surreal moments. Spending time with my mother after she passed was (probably) the final moment. The staff at Grace Hospice are caring and attentive; not just to the residents but to their families as well.

  So... yeah. Now mi hermana and I have the celebration of life to plan out. Lots of details in the process of life after someone has died. We met yesterday with someone who has been through this process and they gave us plenty of answers. Yeah... lots of phone calls and meetings ahead still.

  I won't lie. This past 7 months has been heartbreaking and difficult. How can we not feel anything but relief? What I am having a hard tme with is the outpouring of sympathy and offers to help from people who refused to give a damn about our feelings (or our mother's) while we struggled through this odyessy of grief. You offer to help and listen to us now? Where the plumbob were you several months ago?

  Anyway, I'm a little on the infuriated side with some people. Of course, these 'offers' may turn disastrous if accepted. Mom had a plan for her funeral and my sister and I are carrying out her plan; not theirs. Apologies for this very long entry. Been a while since I posted a long piece, eh?

  Besides that, life is okay. I hope you, my two or three followers, are doing well. At least it's Spring Break. Plenty of time to relax and stuff.
