12/9 is my departed uncle's birthday and the anniversary of my dad's passing. It's just not a fun time of year once Thanksgiving comes around until Christmas is over. I miss my uncle, but it's been enough time. My dad is 7 years out now, so you'd think I'd cope a bit better by now. Grief is a funny beast. I only cry if I talk about it. The day felt weird. I was just helping this underlying sadness, but able to function to a degree. I didn't get dressed or brush my hair all day, so that's how it's affecting me.
Granted, we were also hunkered down for a major wind storm. The winds of course started a fire north of me that's not easily getting controlled. It's still not contained at all. The winds have died down a bit, but it's still 10% humidity. Hopefully they make progress on Sunday with it.
Of course I just had my yard completely cleaned up and the trees trimmed, so now there's all these tiny bits falling from the trees. I was only able to do a before and after from the view of my doorbell because I forgot lol.
Monday I have the electrician coming to check a couple things from the rewire they did a year ago. I need to hire a gardener and someone to put up my permanent outdoor lights, but I'm also struggling to manage more than a project or two at a time.
