April 1, 2, 3.
This whole "being in quarantine" thing has been very... interesting. Being alone, like I tried to explain in my last post, has been not the worst thing in the world... But man oh man do I wish I had someone to share this isolation with this week. I know, "Isolation" isn't technically meant to be shared, but the last few days have been rough.
April 1st: A usual day of gags & pranks was very quiet. The day was gray and the sun decided not to come out. No one to prank. No one to laugh with. No one to wonder "are they being serious right now?!" Not the end of the world, but it was different, for sure.
April 2nd: My mom's birthday. Celebrating her life on her birthday has become something that I take seriously over these last few years. She's not here to do so, so someone has to! Usually I get to see my sister, and spend some time with her, but due to the current status of the world and COVID-19 situation, this wasn't able to happen. I tried very hard to keep my mind occupied during the after work hours, and thanks to some really amazing people (they probably don't know this blog is a thing, so they'll never see this, but that's okay!!) I was thankful to have people to talk to and not focus on how bad I still miss my mom, and wish she was around.
Whew. Teary eye'd just writing that.
Which brings us to today.
April 3rd: The anniversary of my friend Johnny's passing. Johnny was a wonderful person and the world really lost a gem the day he passed. In his honor today I listened to all of the old school Hollywood Undead, and visited some old photos of us being goofballs from back in the day. I really wish he was still here. From penguin dancing in the club, to the biggest bonfires I have ever seen... to the times in Canada where we weren't sure we would be allowed back across the border (well he was, he was a good talker. I wasn't so sure on the other hand haha)... I just miss him. I miss his spontaneous nature, his laugh, his willingness to help anyone with anything, and that smile. Gosh damn do I miss that smile.
The weather has been gorgeous these last two days, and I am going to allow myself to think that this is their way of being here in spite of all the craziness in this world right now.
Cheers to my mom, and Cheers to Johnny.
