And... we're back.

No.
I didn't get to do it.

I got trumped by Shawn's brother... who flew in from ITALY for this.
Jeez... (said with a small smile...)

Italy.

Wow, man.

And, yeah, I was okay with it.
Not so much with a coupla other things, but... they were... understandable.

Driving over, I was fine.
I think that had to do with what I was driving.
Besides just being careful, it was a BLAST driving that truck with it's big old growly motor and size.

I was fine.
Til I walked in and saw the same pictures I have of her, then it hit me again.
Hard.

Then, I saw her and...
Still can't comprehend it.

I had a hard time with a few different things, but, overall... it was.... a funeral.
Can't say it was "good" or "okay", but it was good to see the members of the family- aunts, uncles, cousins- that I haven't seen for so long.

Dad came outside and sat with me for a few while I smoked a cigarette.
Found out it wasn't a heart attack so much as heart failure for an unknown, as yet, cause.
It's gonna take a few weeks to find out the "why" of the situation.

And, frankly, no matter what the cause, it was still WRONG that it happened to her.
There is no reason, no excuse, no explanation that will make this make sense.

'Course that can be said for more than one thing in my life, hey?

Anyway....

I'm home.
The house is clean and "The Stand" is back on again.

Oh! and yeah... damned near forgot.
Had a bit of kitty-drama happen before we left.

Erica, the cat who in the past while giving birth has bitten me, jumped out windows and such rot, did it again.
Had another single kitten, yay her for keeping it to a minimum, but DAMN, the way this cat does this shit is unreal.
One kitten, right?
Not her first "litter", so no biggie, right?
Wrong.

It was breech.

She screamed her bloody head off.
Kept looking at ME, like there was much I could friggin' do, except start shaking like a palsy victim.

She got it birthed (actually rather quickly) and they're both fine.
I, on the other hand, need psychiatric help (even MORE) now.

Anybody want a cat?
Or 12?

I'm willing to make deals, here.
Take one, get another free.
Free horsey rides with a kitten as a keepsake?
C'mon people.... cute little kiddens.... how many ya want?
Got one sittin' on my shoulder right now, in fact.

Aw, da sweet widdle fing....
Think I'mina keep this one.
And, that one over there is my BABY.
Then, there's him.
Can't give him away.
Or her, or her, or him...
Ah, nevermind.

I'll keep 'em all.

Hell, I almost brought home a turtle I found in the middle of the road.
BUT, Eric was freakin' out, so I let him go in the pond next to the last house I lived in with Dad. (The turtle, not Eric.)
It was just a slider turtle, but Eric is... kinda *squinchy* about turtles for some odd reason. He says they have "snake heads".
*rolls eyes*

Anyhoo... I got to save a turtle from becoming road pizza, so that was good.
Yeah, man.
Good thing I was in Jersey just then, huh?

Jesus....
(*lol* at my own stupid self right now...)

I am such a 'tard.
I know it.
I just don't care.
So, pppttttbbbbththtthth.

On that bizzare frickin' note, I'm outta here for a bit.
Wanna go riding, but... ugh.
Wanna go swimming, but... ugh.

Prolly wind up sittin' here veggin' in front of the TV.
Prolly ought to, too.
Feel like I've been on a carnival ride from hell the past coupla weeks.

Oh, and in case anybody cares (God), I have had enough, now.
MORE than enough, okay?
I'd reeeeeally like to go back to my usual "living/flying under the radar" mode of operations again, IF it doesn't BOTHER anybody too much (God), okay?

Thanks.
*rolling eyes again*

Ah, well...
No matter what, in the words of the incomparable Jerry Garcia, "I will survive".
(But, I retain the right to get "sick of this shit already" at any time now...)
'Kay?
Good.

In that case, I'm gone.
Back later.

Peace, y'all.
