I visited my parents and sister today. They’re doing pretty well, considering. My sister is trying to write a eulogy. I tried helping her but I don’t know what to say. We’re trying to focus on all of the good things about our brother. He had some problems, but he still didn’t deserve what happened to him. People keep asking my mom and dad if they can come or invite someone to his graveside ceremony. My parent keep saying yes. They just wanted it to be a very small ceremony, just a few close family and friends, but it’s turning into something much bigger than that. My mom says that she doesn’t know what to say to people at things like this. I don’t either.
My sister and I exchanged some photos of our brother. I have a few new ones now. I’ve just downloaded them onto my computer, and I scanned a few in yesterday.
Their landlord just got a new baby donkey. It’s so cute! My sister and I got some pictures of it. My sister got a bit of video of it jumping up and down like a bucking bronco, and running circles around its mother. I love animals!
Our daughter came over today. She harassed her dad for money. She didn’t get her Welfare cheque yesterday. She insisted that we owe her money and that we can afford it. Nope and nope! We don’t owe her anything. And we definitely can’t afford it anyways. By the time we get a few groceries and pay a few bills, we’ll be so broke, it’s not funny! She should get her cheque on Tuesday. If not, no big deal at the moment. Her and her boyfriend are staying with his mom and stepdad right now. I’m sure they’re not gonna demand payment ASAP.
Thanks again for listening. Till next time,

P.S. I haven’t been sleeping well. I’ve been taking a couple of my husband’s Lorazepam for the last couple nights. It’s been helping a bit. I hope I sleep tonight. Wish me luck!
