ismoSlept late, went for a walk, wrote a letter, did not get any emergency phone calls from family. I could get used to this.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters was lots of fun. It was long, but I didn't mind. Lots of SCARY MONSTER FIGHTS, things crashing, volcanic eruptions, special effects, etc. The human back story was pretty silly, but not intrusive enough to be annoying. There were several lines delivered with portentous gravity that made the Sparrowhawk and me laugh. It was a fine distraction.
I feel a bit daunted by all the steps we still have to go through before we lay Mother's ashes to rest and walk away. There's still room for so much contention and stress, and I just don't want it. But I've been thinking about my parents, and how now that they're gone, I've been able to let go of most of the sadness and anger associated with some of the things they did, and just think of them with love and remember the good parts. Even the not-so-good parts I mostly remember with a humorous shake of the head and a "Boy, that was so THEM." I'm trying to do the same thing with my siblings, only do it while they're still alive. Why wait for death! I might as well detach with love here and now.
