I have a checkup in a couple of weeks, and I’m certain my Dr is going to be like “you gained weight.” I’m going to respond with a deadpan “my dad died” and see what happens

The tree needs ornaments (tomorrow) but this is what you get for sad lazy Christmas.

I nestled my bit of dad’s remains on what we call the “grandpa shelf” because it has memorabilia from both of our grandpas and great-grandpas. Steve is the first dad to join the shelf (please disregard the dust as that shelf is a bitch to clean. From dust to dust or something, right?)

The Broadway performers sing live but no one else is good enough to do so, I guess

Yep, it’s definitely strep—we have the white spots and fever. Neat to contract an antibiotics-needed sickness on one of 2 days in America where literally everything is closed.
I think I have strep throat. 😭

I think sitting beside my dad while he was dying for 3 hours on comfort care (we made the decision to remove the machines) was so hard that it made all that followed easier. I don’t know what to make of that, but I’m glad he didn’t die alone. Hug your people tight, and have a good holiday, friends.💛

I will say, however, that the Clinique waterproof mascara is the real MVP

It’s weird to not be religious when someone close to you has died and nearly everyone around you is religious. Like, I’d like to get a Christmas tree ornament for dad to go with the ones I have the years grandma and grandpa died but everything is so heaven-y.

Wow, 5 hours after the funeral tired is like post-dissertation defense tired. Rest in peace, dad.

We have had a funeral day comedy of errors. A belt malfunction that meant it wouldn’t come off. Almost rear-ended at a yield sign. Spilled an entire tumbler of water on my boot when it fell out of the car. Fingers crossed we actually make it to Sedalia.

I got caught up on grading tonight (yes I know there is something deeply wrong with me). A student I know has been using AI all semester in my online class had the balls to (poorly) read a ChatGPT-written script for his video assignment as his beer bong dangled prominently on a hook behind him.

My writing group co-director sent the folder where we usually add our notes with our writing goals each week (and then announce success/failure the next week for accountability) to my house. Except instead of writing goals, it had notes from the faculty in the group. 😭 and a giant Christmas cactus

Emotional state already tenuous and haven’t even made it to town yet. Somebody sedate me
I have to drive to my hometown to talk to my childhood pastor so he can prepare tomorrow’s eulogy and I’d rather do pretty much anything else
