usmcsis's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- too early for this shit so i thought i was going to be slick last night and trick myself into getting some sleep. i ended up falling asleep around midnight and was awake and staring at the ceiling by four. i'm seriously considering taking a couple of benadryl here in a minute so i can get a few more hours. i'm running on fumes after this past weekend, not to mention the few weeks before that when i would be sitting in the hospital in the middle of the night. so we found out today that the four or five life insurance policies we found for grandma totaled a whopping five hundred dollars. apparently she had cashed the rest in. we found another policy today, hopefully that has something in it. my dad and my aunt cannot afford to pay for her funeral without some life insurance money. not to mention the rest of her bills. so we went and got started on cleaning out the house yesterday afternoon. my aunt took charge and shit ended up everywhere. my cousin and i had planned to hit one room at a time and go about it in a neat and organized way. my aunt decided to go crazy and tear about every room in one night. it was a mess. we did find some interesting things though. we are going to be selling some things on ebay. well, perhaps i should say, attempting to sell. she has some interesting collectibles, in the original packaging, from long before i was a thought in anyone's mind. we'll see. i have to close tonight so i don't even go in until three. on a normal day i'd be close to getting ready to go home at three. ah well, eleven should come pretty quickly, i hope. jeff came to see me at work yesterday. his brother is working part-time at my store and i talked to him yesterday morning and told him about grandma, so when he saw jeff later he told him. of course, jeff comes riding into the parking lot while i'm on break to comfort me. what makes you think i need comfort now? i needed comfort weeks ago you bastard. anyway, i'm off to find the benadryl and hopefully get a few more hours of sleep before i have to get up and do some laundry. i don't have any clean khaki pants to wear to work today. i'm not sure i have any clean red shirts either. perhaps i should find out... toodles 5:11 am - 02 Dec 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
