awww... I 'ruined' a surprise dinner with my girls & the ex - as I had already scheduled grocery delivery for the eve, which was too far in to cancel/reschedule :( ...they were arguing earlier over what restaurants I like, which makes it sadder that I'm unable to go tonight :(
2 weeks ago, Weds the 13th, I flew to ND to see my fathre, the 'Elder Tom,' who had been released from ICU w/ nothing more the doctors could do for him.
Had great convos with him, listening & feeling intently, for a couple/few days until he passed - seemingly comfortable & without pain - on Sun the 17th.
I stayed & assisted, his funeral...

amra:
I’m so sorry for your loss 💔 I know you’re a full grown up, but death has a way to shake us, so I’m here for you if you need anything. Stay safe 💜
wolfox:
@amra thank you, very much.
flying out tomorrow, so hopefully I'll miss the incoming snow storm ( I should, unless it arrives earlier than expected ) ... either way, I'll be headed towards the airport in roughly 12hrs from now for ND
First off, here's to a Safe & Secure 2021!!
Well, the year ended as it had began - with my fathre in GF ICU *sighs*
on the "good" end of things, he isn't in sepsis & is aware, though drugged up, far unlike last year's ICU & long stretch to semi-recovery
times like this I'm not entirely certain that it's great that I have...

I admit, I have an... unusual?... work ethic/mentality than many I work/have worked with and people I know -I far prefer working at least part of a day than spending 3 or more days stuck at home. -while my 'social structure' is largely work-only, 95% of convo is work related...
...I'll probably never understand the text/call thing at work, if I'm at work and it's...

give me a goal for 2021 ( as it's not even 4 weeks away! ) ... a feasable, reachable goal, of course - not some absurd nonsense or metaphysical whathaveyou or "see a doctor" unaffordable b.s., but an actual feasable, reachable goal within the reach of my abilities & skillset(s)
it was a wonderful - and, yes, sad - service for a co-worker I thought of as friend... if only we could all be so lucky to have the same friendly, hard-working, ethical, jovial, & yet simple and sturdy mindset & attitude towards life as this man did with the same strength
many states/cities, etc went into pre-holiday lockdown (again) - YET airports nationwide & highways/interstates saw record travel !
unemployment & rent/bill assistance requests at record high - YET this weekend had record sales, in-store & online
& the weekend's not over yet !
