Oddly enough, the evening after my dad's funeral the conversation between my siblings and I descended into scatalogical humor.
Also, I never knew funerals could be so exhausting.
Take me, sir. Take me hard.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It is exhausting.

Unexpected hilarity is par for the course, I think. Emotions are whipsawing around, and sometimes Funny comes up on the wheel. No one in the family should feel bad about suddenly laughing at things.

No one was unhappy about the scatalogical humor, except possibly my mom.
I received a lot of thank you's and compliments for my slideshow of my dad that we played in the church during the visitation, so that was nice.
I drove to Chicago today. I'm still fried so I'm taking tomorrow off too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My sister and I fell apart into hysterical giggles during our mom's eulogy. The preacher kept calling her by the wrong name! It was ridiculous. We hid our faces in our paper programs and pretended to be sobbing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG so tired. I was at the Arcade Fire concert last night, with my job, except neither my boss nor either of the people I have a 10 o'clock meeting with were there. So I got home at 1, and I didn't even go to the backstage afterparty! And now I'm on my way to work. Need more coffee.

I was up late on the back deck with my neighbors myself. Good times, not planned and not particularly loving this morning.

I stayed up too late on Tumblr, slept poorly, and woke up early. But I won't be inflicting my sleep-deprived grouchiness on co-workers, so yay?
Funerals roil all kinds of emotions. You just have to ride them out as best you can.

I also slept poorly. We need a stay awake support group.
