monday blahs, too
ok. i ended up going home Saturday, to get a cap for my truck and fix my dad's computer. um. well, the computer is fixed. the cap didnt work out. wasted several hours and $40 in gas money, and just ARGH.
talked a lot about family. and aging. and death.
dad went to see his brother, and made peace. says he'll go to the funeral if he's invited. lots of realizations by cousins who are now at the age to watch their parents die, and for them to start breaking down. no man in my grandfather's side has apparently lived to 70, so he says start living right, NOW. my grandfather was 69, my uncles have both been 64.
my cousins, all but one older than me, have now been faced with being the age when their bodies start failing. at least 3 are over 45, which is the age when my dad's generation all started having major problems.
bad genes, folks. they're great.
