Atomictumor

Well, its the last day of my life before BJ’s funeral, and I’ve been keeping busy.  Heres the literary for those keeping score:

• 6 AM - Woke up.  Tumor still down.  Laid in bed, pondered.
• 6:45 AM - Read comic books on computer
• 7:30 AM - Got up, ‘tumor still down.  Sighed.  Popped in movie for Pigpen.  Cuddled Pigpen.  Nodbob asleep on couch, KatyK and MastaG asleep in playroom.
• 8:30 AM - Left with Pigpen to Social Security building.  Waited, he played with Spiderman very patiently.
• 9:00 AM - Spoke with worker, said that it would be a several hour wait to talk to somebody about survivor benefits.  Made appointment for 12/6.
• 9:30 AM - Left SSI place, went to funeral home.  Picked out urn for BJ’s ashes.
  Incidentally, we’ve decided to hold off on the diamond thing, which is the decision I would have made anyway.  Seriously, don’t give me advice not to do that kinda stuff, folks, it just reinforces my urge to do it for spite.
  Anyway, I picked out a nice urn for BJ.  Its one that BJ’s mom should like, instead of one that BJ would like, which seems appropriate to me.  It has a handpainted clock on it.  Not my taste, but neither is keeping her ashes.  It’d be, to me, like keeping a bottle of urine, or something.
• 10:30 AM - Treated Pigpen to Chik-fil-a for being such a great boy.  He enjoyed his food, and played on the playground for a good hour.
• 11:30 AM - Nodbob, MastaG, and KatyK drove BJ’s van to Chik-fil-a, and ate.
• 12:00 PM - Traveled to Staples, arranged for pictures to be blown up.  Purchased supplies for celebratory wake at Barleys.  Left my car at Chik-Fil-A, shhh.
• 1:00 PM - Got home.  Popped Pigpen in bed, he played himself pretty tired, and was yelling.  He went down like a good boy.
• 1:30 - 4:00 PM - Worked with Pigpen to create stuff for celebratory wake.  Seriously, we made some cool stuff.  BJ would be proud.  I look forward to seeing it.  It’ll be INTERACTIVE, like an old 90’s PC.
• 4:00 PM - Took kids and Nodbob to skate park.
• 5:00 PM - Came home, started writing post.  Well, more like 5:30.  Anyway.

So, we’re going to eat with Mom, Aunt Nun, and my aunt Jenny, who I don’t think filled out the proper paperwork for a special internet name.  She’s GBScientist’s mom, for those keeping track.

I’m staring off into space a lot today.  I’m tired.  I’m sore.

Time to eat.  Adios.
