Best laid plans, and all that

[hellison]

As ever, you make plans and then life (or, yet again, death) gets the way. The plan had been to pack up the cats tonight and move back home properly, in preparation for getting back to work full time tomorrrow.

However my Uncle Billy died on friday - he had Motor Neurone Disease, so this is one of the few occasions when it's actually true to say it is a relief/blessing/insert cliche of choice here - and the funeral is tomorrow. So going to that instead of work and seeing all the family that you only ever see on Occasions, then visiting all the other family (mum's lot) who live nearby.


In happier news, I had a bath today! The first one in Six Months (lawks ;p)! Last one I had was in Italy, so at least I was clean when the PUMA struck ;p
Moving home will happen soon tho. Just not tonight.

Thanks! it was very sad, but also good. Lovely to see lots of cousins again too (and as always promise that we will meet at something that ISN'T a funeral next time).

Bath was heavenly ;)

Sorry to hear about your uncle.

A bath! Thesme said you were smelly alright.

Thanks.

Bath was blissful. And thesme is often mistaking her own far-reaching stench for that of others ;p

W~OE can't believe it. Sorry about your Uncle, I know what you mean when you say it was a relief but it's still rough.

Also. Delighted to hear you are having a bath, finally I can remove the clothes peg from my nose.

bloody families. Bloody typical! But it was really For The Best - apparently all v. peaceful, which with MND doesn't always happen.

And I think you find you need that peg for YOUR OWN STENCH for I, as always, smell of roses and kittens.

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

Dead roses.

Dead kittens.

Yes.

I can completely understand the relief. My grandmother also died on Friday, 94, miserable, unable to function for herself and in pain almost constantly. People keep going 'zomg Im sorry'.. but I'm, well, not. She wasn't happy, and had been saying for years she wants to die. Funerals are teh suck though.

But yay, bath. Did you have BUBBLES?

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Sometimes it really is just a release. Funerals are never good, but ended up having a great lunch with a pack of cousins afterwards, which was good!

No bubbles this time, but lovely elemis bath milk stuff. Will be off to lush tho to stock up on Lovely Things asap!
