Another goodbye

Mr. Cs funeral was today, I have to say it was the loudest service I’ve been too in my entire life. In the funeral home everyone was chatting and hugging and carrying on with smiles and some tears. Just before the whole ordeal started the curtains closed so the family could say their last goodbyes and close the casket. That’s when it began to be somber. …… I won’t dwell on it…
After, a few of us ran out to eat in a nice restaurant, one I chose, which filled me up to the brim. Right now, I could lay my head on my desk and snooze it all off but I won’t.
The ladies dueling crew in the office have seem to come to some sort of a merger of the minds and are getting along famously once again. Camaraderie in the work place is a key item; well in any function, and as long as they don’t murder each other I’m good.
Talked to Jacks a little before I had to leave, he’s ok right now. No turmoil with his classes but you can hear homesickness setting in; he asks the same questions over and over making sure he gets the same response. I was worried about him a while back, he gave me the impression he was overwhelmed with school and home and his personal life. All those issues seem to be settling into place for the moment for him.
Lori and I are going to have a lunch together on Friday; she will be out of school for teachers work day. She wanted to get all gussied up and go some where fancy. I think I might stop off at The Pit, a dive of a restaurant and tell her that’s where we will be eating. I love the look on her face when she snarls her nose and whines out a long “Maaaaarrk!!”
For some reason unbeknownst to me, my ex is flashing in my head very often…maybe it’s a sign to hit a super long blog on how I feel about things now.
