Bother bother bother!

My brain has done one of those time-slippage foul-ups. Somehow I got it fixed in my memory that Halima's memorial service was at 5:00, and just now when I went to print out the directions, there it is staring me in the face: 4:00 pm. So there's no way I could get to Palo Alto in time. I don't know how long the service is going to last, but at this point I figure there's a good chance I'd show up just when it was over. And with the rain, it's probably better not to be out on the highway feeling in a hurry and frustrated. Bother, bother bother. Sorry for not making it. This morning when I got dressed, I took the little enameled butterfly charm that she was giving out at her laurel vigil and put it on a chain to wear for the day. And then I can't even get the time right. Normally I'm so paranoid about being places on time. Well, come to think of it, this is exactly why I'm so paranoid about being places on time. (It's not quite as drastic as the time in college when my brain transposed a final exam to the day after it was scheduled for.)

I would have liked to have gone to Halima's funeral, but the combination of place, time and date nixed that. Palo Alto would be at least a four hour drive from here, maybe more with weekend traffic. That late in the afternoon, I'd be lucky to make it back home by ten. The kicker was that this is a Radio Sunday and that meant I'd do that drive by myself.

Can we go back to weddings and babies as themes for the year? Three deaths in so short a time are three too many.

Not only was the weather bad yesterday, but 101 in that area is under some construction, which made several people really late. There were a good number of people considering everything, and the service went well. A number of Halima's works were on display and her Laurelling scroll was available for people to look at. (I will email a photo of the scroll to you if you ask.)

The minister was very grateful for LT's help.
