when the days blend together

what a week/weekend it's been. ~bartender, just a beer please,
whatever's on tap.

I haven't been able to step into the Pub since the last post I made
thanks to being away from my internet, and we ended up losing my
father-in-law. It's been a crazy week with family coming in and
out, memorial planning, and all the usual stuff.

With everything going on the days blended together. I woke up on
Saturday thinking it was Friday until I checked my phone.
Thankfully, I just got back home last night and caught up on some
sleep - at the in-laws' place, we were sleeping on an air mattress,
and my back doesn't seem to like them. I maybe slept for 3-4ish
hours each day that we were over there.

On the upside, things are calming down and the family is doing
relatively alright under the circumstances. They were married for
over 50 years, so my mother-in-law is learning how to navigate life
without my father-in-law around, but she seems to otherwise be
doing okay. My wife and I took some time off to help out, and
despite everything that was going on and the sad circumstances
around it, it was nice to have a little break away from all the
screens. I am, however, thankful to be back home and finally able
to rest.

We got some rain last night. It was nice, and it has had the
temperature here in my part of the world feeling pretty decent -
78*F today, a nice reprieve from the 90s+. It is overcast right
now, and I am glad to be able to give my air conditioner a break. I
just got caught up on some work from last week, and am thinking
about breaking out my guitar in a few minutes, it's been about a
week since I've been able to play it.

I was happy to be back in my own bed last night. Being away from it
for a few days gave me a brand new appreciation of it. I feel like
I caught up on a whole week's worth of sleep in one night. Anyway,
it's a new Monday and a new week, and I plan to make the best of
it, get caught up on some things, and get started on some other
things.

Hope all of you are doing well this week, too, pubbers - cheers!
