My Birthday Weekend with a Funeral

Pretty crazy things happening lately. First, on Thursday I had my birthday, where mskate and I went out to dinner at Culvers, and the night before we went to Chuck E Cheese for a 50% off food with a promotion with our preview of gold with bronze, where we split an app sampler. I also 100%'d Lego Star Wars 3 this week.

Friday we went up to my in-laws and spent the night because we had a funeral for my grandma figure on Saturday. I did the live stream and that was a little complicated since it was a live stream through our wedding youtube channel, and while I'm familiar with streaming I'm not super familiar with youtube's streaming page, so it took a lot of work to get working. It was a good service, the priest mentioned how she loved cooking, which she really did. Afterwards we went out to a restaurant that my grandma really liked, and after that we went to the deceased's house to handle some things (like logging her out of our Disney plus on her smart TV). Afterwards we went home because we had coffee and donuts on Sunday.

Coffee and donuts went over well. We got the donuts and put in our order for July, I brewed all the coffee and made the tang, and then we went to mass. After mass we handled all the serving. We went through the pot of regular pretty quickly, so I put out the second pot, which also went rather fast but not all the way, I put the 3rd pot out but I don't know if anyone had any. Oh well, making coffee is hard to gauge how much we'll need. Last week was the Usher's big breakfast and they had some unopened orange juice left over, so we put it out and went through a gallon of that and a pitcher of tang. We went up to my parents house area and met them at chuck e cheese for my birthday lunch. We had a #2 combo; large pizza, cheesy bread, and 2 drinks. With all our tickets we bought some prizes for mskate's easter egg fundraiser, stickers for friends for life, and spot it games for camping. Afterwards we went bowling. I got 2nd in our 1st round, and I got 1st in our 2nd round. I also had a White Russian because The Big Labowski. For my presents I got buck-ees clothes, buck-ees snacks, and franks red hot goldfish crackers. For dinner I got a happy meal in part for the fifa world cup toy, but the mcdonalds I went to was out so I got a book (no big deal, we'll throw it in with a book drive). I'm not into the world cup, but I know those toys will have resale value, and I want Dolan the Dinosaur. That night I was able to watch Sunday night FOX cartoons, because they finally had cartoons, yay.

Today we had the interment for my grandma figure. I brought my camera so I could record it for the same people who watched the live stream. It was a really good service; they put her ashes in the mausoleum, we were able to say our goodbyes, my brother said some interment prayers, I had us sing When the Saints go Marching In (one of the songs she liked to play for the sing alongs), and we said some stories. Afterwards we went to lunch at the restaurant that's close to the cemetery. I went home to do my normal things, but mskate stayed with her parents to help out more with the funeral things. I got the interment video uploaded and ready to share, which will make the family happy. Later.
