Mar. 21st, 2022 08:29 amEven though it's only technically accurate, I'm going to spend the next 24 hours making ruthless use of the excuse "Sorry--I was at a funeral all weekend."

Jun. 11th, 2021 08:26 amOff to my grandmother's funeral in a few minutes! Prayers etc. are requested for her soul...and for safe travel, non-delayed flights, effective COVID protections, and an absence of family drama!

May. 16th, 2021 07:59 pmIn the three weeks between now and when I have to start packing for Detroit, I need to
- order a new shirt
- buy/order some orthopedic (or functionally orthopedic) formal shoes
- get my car tuned up (so that I don't have to cram that into the two weeks between then and driving to VT to pick up P.)
- Look for apartments, groan.

Nov. 26th, 2018 08:20 amJust a quick update to say: I'm back from Ithaca; Thanksgiving went fine, the memorial service went fine, the drive was really really long and undoubtedly hastened the day when I will need knee surgery, but was otherwise fine. More later.
ETA: The I got an email from G. about P. scheduling that managed to push every single button that makes Schreibers stressed and angrysad, so I was somewhat less fine. A thirty-minute long phonecall with my brother helped, but I resolved to follow his advice and not worry about getting anything done for a day or so.* I did just get back from driving 14 hours in four days to go to a funeral.
*I read Hamster Princess #6 instead.

Briefly:
1. Everything for my Thanksgiving is still in flux. I mean, I am definitely going to Bob's funeral (and so I think I'll wait til after THAT to finish posting more about him); but between my Mom, my Aunt, my brother, his girlfriend, and flight schedules, I think there are about four different plans for what I'm doing on the Thursday that are all possibilities at this point.
But yeah. Funeral. Possibly ft. me singing Amazing Grace.*
2. Rang my first peal for the war dead on Sunday. My hands are still sore.
* Not a hymn a particularly like, but traditional at funerals in some quarters.
FWIW, guys: if you ever for some reason are involved in burying ME, sing something else. Possibly "No saint on earth": Song #1 is a good tune, and I like the theology, even if it's crappy verse.
