 [drink] [drink]  The plumber came yesterday because the house water pressure was too high. After his visit, it was too low. 20 PSI outside to be exact. I watched a video, and fixed it best I could. 45 PSI outside now and enough pressure to take a shower. I may raise it more. plumber is coming back Monday morning.

Otherwise, I have been writing my sisters obituary. My older sister likes what I have and the younger hates it. Jenny was a chronic drug addict. I tried to tell the truth, but convey that she was more than her addiction. The trajectory of her life started in 1971, when our mom died. She ultimately died of a broken heart.

To de-stress and decompress, I am going to IKEA with the ex-girlfriend. 

That and drink.

If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Morning. I guess I really should not respond to emails before coffee.

My youngest sister is upset that I am being honest about Jenny's addiction in her obit. Drugs were her life, they killed her, but she was more than that. I showed that. We may just do a notice of death.

I am going to write my own obit and have it ready to go.

She may just have to get used to being upset. :-\

That's a great idea...I'll explain to everyone just how much of an asshole I really could be.

Loving my job. Tomorrow is the first night spent away from my Sig-O in three months.  Previous gig had me out 3 weeks per month...

Mary, good luck in your decision.

Mary, so sorry for your loss.

My $0.02

Obit is for those who are left
You are under no obligation to tell the stark unvarnished truth, no obit does
Those who are left know what happened
You and your sisters were divided by forces beyond your control
This is perhaps an opportunity to unite by acknowledging the good parts
