I got a call from my step uncle from Warsaw that he's going to come by in two weeks to bring a new stone for my parent's grave, which is an hour from where I live. I never visit that grave, or that town for that matter, because it's full of bad, terrible, fucking awful memories. Also, step uncle speaks no English and my Polish is even worse than his German. The last time he visited I was exhausted after two hours of trying to communicate. So while I appreciate him getting this new stone, I'm not looking forward to that trip.

(Of course this has to happen on the Wednesday after the SHIELD finale, so I won't be able to watch that first thing in the morning like I usually do; instead it's gonna be nagging in the back of my mind all day. Of all the days to do this, it had to be the 14th.)

In my experience these things are always on the 14th, metaphorically. I hope it all goes much, much better than you expect. Especially the finale.

Yeah, I'm more worried about the finale than the other thing. /o\

I saw a hilarious (well, I thought it was hilarious) sign at a boutique yesterday that said "Friends are God's way of apologizing for your family."

Take care.

Heh!
