Surreality

Posted in Uncategorized at 2:02 am by Deb

I’m not sure if surreality is a real word, but it should be. Today was a day of funerals and parties - a very surreal day. Funeral days often feel that way. Nothing is normal. I wonder how many other people feel that way. Everything has a different tone to it. Today started out pretty normal. My 2 year old grandsweetie woke me at about 8 am, and things went along pretty normally until getting ready for the funeral. It felt like a weekend day since we didn’t go off to work, but was actually a Thursday. (I know it’s actually the next day as I’m writing this, but my days run from the time I get up to the time I go to bed.) After the service at the funeral home, we ended up in a funeral procession of about 30 or so cars all going to the cemetary, then home to cook food and make sure sweetie had a nap before going to the “celebration of L.’s life” gathering. Right after the gathering, we dropped sweetie off with her aunt and went to one of the wildest, largest and best parties I’ve ever been to. It’s now almost 2 am, and I will be lucky to get about 6 hours of sleep. I danced all night to a great funk band and could have danced all night. I’ll be in great shape for our gig tomorrow night. Hopefully I can nap when sweetie does. I always thought I wanted to learn to juggle and I’ve actually known how all along.
