My Dad passed away April 17, 2016. Today he would have turned 77 years old. The family is planning to gather at his grave and have a balloon release and go out to eat later. The only problem re: my attending is the timing... 5 PM on a Saturday.
My regular job is from 10 PM to 7 AM usually Thursday through Monday nights so 5 PM Saturday to me is as 3 AM Wednesday for real people with day jobs. I usually roll into bed around 2 PM and out of bed between 8:00 & 8:30. Using 5 PM as the starting time I began counting backwards... probably need to be there by 4:30 so leave the house by 4. Add time to let the dogs out, wash my face etc means out of bed no later than 3:30.
After the balloon thing probably ass around for another 30 before going to eat = 5:30 plus an hour or more to eat and sit around telling tales means headed back home no earlier than 6:30 and back home at around 7. After letting the dogs out again and unwinding means I'd get to bed around 7:30 leaving me a half hour before the alarm sounds.
Just no way in Hell I could handle the ass clowns at work on thirty minutes' sleep. I'm sure Dad would understand.
Rest well, Dad.
Love always, Your #2 son
