Mondays are so very Monday, this one more so.

Taking five minutes to decompress and feel some feels before I button back up and get myself on track.

And I don't even know if that gif will show up but whatever.

My aunt passed away in her sleep last night, quite unexpectedly. She had a lot of health problems but she wasn't ill, per se, so it's all very sudden and her loss is immense.

Logistically, she also was the one who dealt with a lot of the family stuff that no one else could, so there's a lot of chaos surrounding this sudden departure - money woes, who will take care of my grandmother, her 16yo autistic son, my uncle with stage four cancer (who also takes care of a lot but someone needs to work and also cancer and 16yo kid). Anyhow, it's all a lot.

I have a dentist appointment this afternoon for some fillings and I think I'll sit down in the chair and say "listen, I just want to put my audiobook on and close my eyes and let you drill on my teeth for an hour. It will be a relief that I can't be expected to do anything else for that time."
