TODAY WAS BORING AT BEST. NOT MUCH TO DO TODAY AT WORK. I'VE LOST MY HUSBAND TO ANOTHER TOURNAMENT OF CARDS. HE LOVES TO PLAY, BUT ALSO HE IS AN AVID MATHEMATICIAN. HE LOVES TO PUT NUMBERS THROUGH HIS OWN HEAD. IT'S KINDA ANNOYING!

WE WILL BE DRIVING UP TO SPOKANE TO GO TO WILLIE'S MEMORIAL SERVICE. I SPOKE TO MY BEST FRIEND, MINDY, HIS SISTER, AND SHE SAID THEY HAD A BURIAL OF HIS ASHES TODAY. I JUST STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT. I KNOW I'LL BE A WRECK TOMORROW.

MY GRAMMA IS SO INSISTENT ON US GETTING UP AT THE ASS-CRACK OF DAWN TO MAKE OUR WAY UP TO HER HOUSE FIRST THING WHEN WE ROLL INTO SPOKANE. I DO WANT TO GET THERE, SAY HI, AND GO TO THE MEMORIAL SERVICE SINCE THERE WILL BE PARKING AND SEATING TO WORRY ABOUT. SHE WANTS US TO GO SEE HER COMPANION IN THE NURSING HOME, AND I'M LIKE I DON'T WANNA GET UP ANY EARLIER THAN I HAVE TO. I HAD TO WORK THE LATE SHIFT TONIGHT, SO I'M ALREADY LOSING SLEEP AND YES, I AM ON HERE WRITING. I TOTALLY SHOULDA JUST DONE TOLD HER THAT WE WERE COMING UP TO SUPPORT MINDY'S FAMILY AND HAVE OUR OWN CLOSURE FOR WILLIE. WE WILL STOP THERE FIRST, BUT I DON'T PLAN TO GO ANYWHERE BEFORE THE MEMORIAL. I'M NOT UP THERE TO SIT WITH A DUDE I BARELY KNOW. I KNOW THEY ARE COMPANIONS TO EACH OTHER, BUT I'M NOT THAT CLOSE TO HIM.

WELL, I BETTER HEAD OFF TO BED. GOTTA GET UP EARLY YA KNOW. I'LL WRITE MORE TOMORROW EVENING WHEN WE RETURN HOME.
