the past month and change has been nonstop. i think about the last time i had a moment to sit still was around when @tercel-enby and I walked around my downtown and checked out the local museums, if even that.
I've been on my hooves doing this and that and the other for weeks with little time to sit and contemplate. like, the 31st i had a food safety meeting at 9am, my dad and his girlfriend arrived for their trip, i had a funeral to attend, and i still had a normal closing shift after that.
and from then on, i've been slightly overextended trying to make time for family while they were in town, and also use their presence to get stuff done that i couldn't otherwise. We did a lighthouse tour, i took them to the visitors' complex, we went to some antique malls in melbourne because apparently thrifting is their idea of dating. and then dad and i built an entire 8' by 8' patio at my back door to replace some fundamentally unsafe rotted-out metal steps that i couldn't put weight on.
somewhere in all of that, while i was at the laundromat, cohost announced it was shutting down, and i've been so busy that i haven't been able to process taht.
tonight, my dad drives home. I'm feeling some sort of a Way because of that, he even got broken up saying goodbye when he dropped moo off at work. We're not close but it's still like, diet PCD, and the whole "cohost closes its doors next week" thing is stacked on top of that, and I haven't had the air to process any of it yet.
