I’m trying not to laugh too hard. But this reminds me very much of the $80 flounder bill from the grocery store. I thought he was talking to the fish guy. No, he had ordered an entire whole flounder and had it filleted. He was six.

He LOVED flounder. And you better bet he ate it for every meal for over a week.
To this day, I refuse to eat flounder

Met my husband in a chat room in January 1998. Before You’ve Got Mail was released.
We were together until he died last year.
My best friends who supported me in my darkest days? Met them all here. They were the first ones to show up at my home.
There are NO online friends. They are just strangers who are on the same social media as you. Do not trust them. Do not share anything personal and stay as detached as you can. Do not try to develop a friendship.

This is exactly what happened. He’s talking to him like the 80 year old man he is and they’re waving while I’m having a turkey spatchcocked and I thought they we’re letting me know where he was. Nope. It was “see, there’s my mom and dad and they’re cool with it.”

The chair was delivered, and then I refused delivery because the leg was broken off of it. It wasn’t the delivery people’s fault as I watched them pull up, gently take it off the truck and unwrap it.
So the answer is, I have no clue when my chair is being delivered.

I used to tease T about robbing the cradle as he was one day older. And would tell him he was going to trade me in for two 25 y/o on his 50th not expecting him to die one month before at 49.
Suspect this coming birthday is going to suck just as bad as the last two.

Just realized why I’m so off kilter. Close to T’s diagnosis date when he nearly died so many times in the hospital in 2020 and I have not dealt with that. Ever.

This is not me being dramatic.

Which is why I have prepaid for my cremation and have an envelope with plans where the people who need to know will know where to look.
Because we had no plans when my husband died and it was like I was having an out of body experience.
It’s amazing how much work goes in to putting together a funeral. It’s like a wedding but everyone is emotionally shattered.
