First, I've been having a rough go of it. The older generation of my family is dying and I'm 30 and I never expected it to be A Thing but it knocked me for a loop once everyone went home and the party weekend was over. And just general anxiety and depression and life shit. So she's whisking me away to stay at her parents house with Munchie. How awesome is that?
I had a big zit on the side of my nose and it turned out to be an ingrown hair that grew back out the side of my nose. WEIRD AND GROSS AND FASCINATING.
Back to the other stuff. My great-grand uncle died and it's knocked me on my ass. He was 93 and a high-ranking Jesuit who saw and did so much that you can really say he lived a full life. But I never really thought about the entire older generation being gone. It's really fucking with me.
But it's so neat to see how many lives he touched and all that he did for Jesuits and the Catholic church (please let's not debate again) and for the world, really. He was instrumental in getting Fordham co-ed and he got some of the modesty rules at the Vatican relaxed.
My uncle got to do the Homily (he's also a Jesuit) and I was able to listen to it online and it was just so moving and beautiful and I miss my family so much.
Chesh is good people. And so are you. I'm sorry that ALL THE THINGS are happening all at once. I hope you guys have a blast and it takes your mind off things. Maybe sleep with a mouth guard in, I'm just sayin
And salimoo, :heart: . You have been there for me so many times, and I know you need a vacation as much as I do. I'm ridiculously excited to have you coming with me!
But I kind of wish you hadn't told EVERYBODY, because now it makes it harder for me to deny knowledge when you and Munchie disappear. Being in NY was supposed to be my alibi, damn it!
