Last Saturday we had Gong Gong’s funeral. It was a nice service. Mae Mae played violin, and I said a few mostly-improvised words. I was fairly together until we actually placed his urn into the burial plot, when we all started crying. Although he passed away over a year ago, that really put a sense of finality to the whole thing. But it was nice to see the whole family.
Saturday evening I saw
Sunday morning we had a nice Mother’s Day brunch at my cousin Albert’s house, thanks to his wife Karen. Afterwards I drove my sister to the airport. In the afternoon, just for kicks, my parents and I looked at some condos for sale in the area. It was depressing. So much money, so little condo.
The task I was working on last week (i.e. the reason I worked so much) got pushed until after E3. I found this out on Tuesday, and just got really really depressed.
But things work-wise were better this week than last, though I have definitely fallen into the pattern where leaving at 9:30 is normal. I must break myself of that habit, lest I become pastier than I usually am. Last night I was able to escape for a couple hours to have dinner at Ryan’s place and watch The O.C. But I came back afterwards to work on a bug and ended up getting home around midnight.
This weekend we’re running Bay to Breakers, which should be really fun. Looking forward to it.
