Life stuff

So, my grandfather died this morning. My mom sounds okay. It wasn't exactly unexpected; he's been in bad shape for almost two years, and with end stage Alzheimer's that is a disease I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

I'm mostly worried about how the funeral is going to go, whether his estranged children (my mother's siblings) are going to be there, and what they're going to do if thy are.My boss gave me the day off, so I'm on-call tonight, cramming a bunch of extra appointments into tomorrow, and driving back home.

In happier news, thistlerose is stopping by tonight! :D
