My, what a rollercoaster the last 3/4 weeks have been. Everythig from births, to deaths, to marriages to assaults. You name it, it happened.
The bad shit, because I really have lingered on it long enough IRL without going on and on here online about it. My aunt, mother of 6 kids, passed away last Monday. She was only 55. I think we’re all still in the stunned and shocked phase, along with the crying not stop phase in full swing.
A friend of mine’s son, aged 7, passed away during the week from a water clot in the brain. I just still can’t get over this.
Another friend of mine, one of my best friends in school growing up and we’ve kept contact her brother was killed in a road accident 3 weeks ago. My younger brother was very good friends with her younger brother too so it hit everyone in my family hard.
My cousin was assaulted, there’s *war* over that at the moment, and will be for a long time. Her brother, who’s now a commando in the British army, knows and is due home this Friday. There’s going to be some amount of shit next weekend. I’m so staying indoors.
The rabbit’s mother in law is very sick at the mo’ and not altogether doing too well.
Short and brief ’cause I hate lingering on bad news, and I am doing it enough IRL.
My cousin, the above commando, is getting married at the end of this month. Mega rush since they were due to get married in Feb, but he’s being deployed somewhere in Feb and this is the only date before that they can get, so it’s all hands on deck.
I’ve helped a ton. Photography is sorted, flowers are sorted. I did the most gorgeous invitationsfor them as their gift from me, then addressed them for all coming. Seating arrangements was done last night. It’s not 100% done as to where the tables will be situated, but overall who’s where is done.
And his new son, Daniel, was born and will be baptised at their wedding too 
Can’t even begin to imagine how conflicted and confused that whole family is right now.
And I had a wonderful week in Spain. Visited Valencia-ish area for 6 days, and then only Barclona for 2 days. I wish I had more time in Barcelona, such a beautiful city and so much to do. Crammed as much into 2 days and we could, the church/aquarium/nou camp/maritime msueum/shopping, hehe/drinking/food/sleeping/etc.
My cousin, another one, got married so we made a trip of it, about 18 of us. Man was that ever fun
One of the restaurants we went to, altogether, ran out of vodka hehe. They were seriously fretting it didn’t know what to do!
Driving everyone here at work crazy by playing Christmas songs all day, every day. Unibrow tried to stop me, but I’ve been doing it for 10 years and it ain’t possible to stop me now! So everyone else pretty much told him it wasn’t worth the effort. hehehe
Annnnd currently putting up the most tackiest Christmas decorations at work, EVER! So much so that unibrow just said it’s like walking into a brothel. Except I’m the madam and I’m renting them out. Not going to make much there! hehe
Also, how does unibrow know what walking into a brothel is like?
