Phone, Life, and Mortality.




I got a new phone this weekend. I am quite fond of it. It lets me dial, talk, and text. I don't really know why I got a new phone, I just did. I guess I am one of those trendy people who needs new phones every two years. Weirdo.

Today was a good day, and a surreal day. I cleaned a bit in my house. I have a lot of projects I want to get done before I head back to Wisconsin(which will be in the next week, I think...more details later!) Here are a few of the projects: 1. Finish putting up towel racks in the bathroom 2. Install the curved shower curtain rod(hello, shower curtain pressed against wet body is no fun) 3. Either get thicker curtains for this place or do something to make them more manageable and less see through! 4. Get unpacked. It is quite the process to move, I hate it. I don't think I am going to do it again for a while...maybe even a long while!

My friend's mom died today. Dying is a hard thing to face for the living. That was an awkward sentence. I think death is a very hard subject though. Sometimes it is better for people to go instead of being in so much pain, but it is also awkward to think like that about somebody. You don't wish dying on people, or at least you feel you shouldn't. I don't like to think about dying or the deaths of those close to me. This whole experience has made death a little more real to me. I will try not to get too morbid. I am glad that I will be able to be here for the funeral though. I have been worried about the whole logistics of being here for it. I would have flown home today and I am glad I didn't. I can't imagine how I would have felt being there and getting the news. It feels like the timing worked out well for all of this. Moving and funerals. Now I just have to figure out how I am going to get home in the next week or so.

Well, I think that is all for my practically 2 a.m. post. I like my new house! Have I mentioned that?

This is the first time I've commented on your blog, but I wanted to so you knew I was aware of this sad event. It is too bad she was not given more years, but it is good that she is at peace. Hugs and sympathy to Janette.
