Attending a funeral wouldn't be my top choice for my birthday tomorrow, obviously. At least I'm off work tho so able to go, and he did a lot for Christian Aid, one of two local collectors who have died in just the past week. I suspect it's because I've recently time warped back to two/three decades ago, but I seem to keep thinking I see people who are no longer alive. Glances at people as I drive or walk along and I have to remind myself it can't possibly be them cos they died a few months, or even many years ago. Maybe it's all a useful recognition of some of the feelings I'm experiencing and rather than trying to kick myself into the present, I still need to be sad awhile. Or maybe, alongside the coldsores that developed a week ago, it's all signs that I need a bit more time off. Just one day in at my main job today, then a few more days R and R.
In brighter news, when I cut off the end of my toothpaste to do my usual scraping out of remnants, I discovered a clean end to the tube. Maybe they've developed a new non-stick surface that means toothpaste waste will now dramatically decrease. I'm not one for "progress" generally, as I think the call for 'bigger, brighter, better' is a con. Less is always more in my philosophy. And less toothpaste retention is a plus for me :) Little things, little things!
