This weekend is not going to go down as a great one. One thing after another happened to bring my mood down. Saturday I fell again while running (seriously what's wrong with me?) Then I had to go into work to get a project done by Monday. I spent 8am - 2pm in the office. I really didnt mind going in, I didnt like that it wasnt so much my choice though. Then last night I woke up at 2am and couldnt fall back to sleep till 6am. I don't generally have that problem, I'm blaming in on my most recent injuries from falling.
To top the weekend off my parents just called to let me know that my dad's uncle died yesterday. Uncle Bill was so poor that they werent going to even have a funeral. My parents have decided to fly out Friday and come back Saturday and my dad is going to have the make shift service at Uncle Bill's house. It's all so sad, he was sick but still it was pretty sudden. I guess my Uncle's latest thing was that he owned a used car lot. Saturday he was happy because that morning he sold a truck, in the afternoon he died. My grandparents on that side of the family died before I was born so Uncle Bill and his wife and my other great aunt and great uncle have stepped in and been grandparent figures to my family. I just have memories of Uncle Bill standing around in overalls, no shirt. Apparently that's all he really wore. His son was joking that's what everyone should wear next weekend in honor of him. I can't imagine that side of my family getting together for a sad occasion. Everytime I'm with them is for something happy and everyone is joking around. My tiny extended family is shrinking even more :(
