thanks PBW everything went ok with our trip to Houston and my MIL's funeral. i'm glad to be back home. also my husband seems to be in a better mood now.

i'm on PTO for the rest of the week and Monday is a holiday so i'm going to do more work around the house. i need to do some cleaning too. the house seems to get messy even when no one is here

I'll probably get Paper Mario Thousand Year Door. I have a few games i still need to play so i probably won't get it right when it comes out.

slept late at least it's the weekend. my sleep has been wonky too. i woke up at 2:30am and took about an hour to fall back asleep.

today i need to get everything ready for us to drive to Houston for my MIL's funeral. I also need to go over to my parent's. i haven't felt up to seeing anyone really but i should go over there and visit.

other than that i need to clean the house some and finish trimming the plants in the front yard. i usually water every other day if it doesn't rain so i think if i water before we leave and when we get home they'll be ok.

i get a lot of anxiety when i travel. it's why i don't really go on vacation. it's hard for me to leave the dogs. we're taking one with us and 2 of them will stay with my parents.

such a lovely memorial and beautifully written letter 

yesterday some of my relatives went to visit my parents. i had to work and my husband wasn't up to seeing anyone. i told my parents i would try to come over if i had time during the day. by the time they got to my parent's house it was almost 1pm and i had calls all afternoon. so i told my dad i couldn't come over until after 4. which was too late. then my dad says "oh we can swing by for a few minutes" ugh what part of my husband doesn't want to see anyone and i'm literally going to be on the phone says we want to entertain guests? i told him that was not ok and he said maybe next time. my relatives are super judgy about people's homes and i know i shouldn't care but i at least need a few days notice if they're going to come by. i feel a little bad but also they know i have a job. if they really wanted to see me they could have come on a weekend.

my car oddly still has a CD player even though it's a newer model. the last 2 leases did not. I haven't used it though. i don't have any CDs to play at the moment but i'm considering buy CDs again. not everything is available as records. i still have a ton of MP3s. so maybe burning CDs again too. i would like to have more non-streaming options while i'm driving.

I got a B&N gift card for mother's day. After careful deliberation, I replaced Ramones Road to Ruin, and picked out Led Zeppelin IV.

It was up against some stiff competition from Led Zeppelin ii, Guns n Roses Apetite For Destruction, and Dokken's Heaven Comes Down.

good choices
