Detachment, anxiety and the end of limbo

[Phoebe]

thank you all for checking in on me and your kind words and support. Yesterday was tough. Today was actually really good.

The underlying reason it was good (the final interment of my granma's ashes wasn't great, but it meant that my larger family was all in one place again on a beautiful day in a beautiful verdant place. It's a small rural community and there were two interments today, so both families got together, scheduled the services back to back, and then both families and guests went to the same restaurant and had a group buffet dinner with drinks. It's a small community and there were so many mourners in common that it just made a lot of sense. It was really really lovely.

My brother is in town for a couple days, and I don't see him very often, so that's great, too. He's staying in my house, and I'm here in my usual sleeping quarters. Strange, but it works.

It's so good to spend time with people that you know and care about, and who care about you in return. That last part, especially.

Still have not officially been served. What the heck kind of process servers are these guys if they can't manage to catch up with me after a whole week? All I've gotten was that silly card on my door telling me to call them. How about doing your job? If I hadn't talked to the L in H's state I'd still be wondering if H really did it without telling me. It's better to know.

Anyway, time to try for some sleep. I'll have to get caught up with everyone after my brother leaves on Saturday night.

Sleep well, and I wish everyone a nice weekend.
