The Funeral . . . Rest In Peace Aunt Kay
I am writing this post from my parents house in Green Bay on dialup. I know that you may be wondering why I haven’t posted in a couple days. Well, Will’s 1st birthday was Saturday, and I will post more about that later. However, I found out on Thursday that my aunt had died after a 14 month battle with lung cancer. We knew it was coming, but it still sucks. I have been trying to figure out how to write this post for a couple of days now.
It was a sad long day. To get back in time, my parents and I left Chicago this morning at 3 am. Its about 8 now, so I am majorly dragging butt. It also was just sad and hard. I am so glad I came up for this. My uncle thanked me as I left tonight, because he knows just how far away I live (the funeral was 5 hours from my house). I wish Bill and the kids could have come up with me, but there was just no way to swing it.
I am not sure if I will be able to post tomorrow. It depends what time I actually get back home. I will be on the bus all day long, then have to take a cab to the train, then take the train to Midway. One of my friends is picking me up at Midway. Wish me luck and please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers.
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Well, I have had an interesting couple of days. You may have noticed that I am in the process of making changes to my template. It was looking great last night and then Internet Explorer decided to blow it up. Courtney has been awesome with helping with all the changes I am trying to do. We got a call last night from Delta. They canceled our airline tickets for our vacation in Arizona in February. No, I am not kidding. Over the phone last night, I had to rebook our flight. What a mess. It also messes up some plans I have in place already. Today, I am suppose to be making those phone calls to fix that. It also doubles our layover times. Sucky. However, after spending my morning on the phone with the insurance company, I really don’t feel like calling and sitting on hold with anyone else. It isn’t like Will had mesothelioma or anything. I am fighting them sending a $77 bill to collections that I don’t owe. The good news is that Bill got a raise. I am hoping that we can save that money and put an addition onto the house. However, I am still waiting for him to find his tape measure, so I can, at least, measure the attic and layout what I want up there. Actually, I know what I want — just not sure it will all fit.
