This Barbie is a memorial planner

First, some good news: Though I still need to have my dad’s death certificates corrected, I was able to sell his boat, car, and condo when I was in Florida last week. It’s an enormous weight off my shoulders.

After my whirlwind trip to the sunshine state, I spent several days at a work conference in Chicago—hence the lack of updates. But there’s no rest for the weary: dad’s memorial is in 8 days, and my sister and I have plenty to do. Hell Month™ part 3 has officially begun.

As part of my memorial preparations, I’ve updated the corresponding section of the site to include more details, from flowers to food. In my experience, mourners are a hungry bunch.

And yes, I am going to see Barbie tomorrow with friends—it’s what Self-Care Skeleton would want for me. To be honest, my whole life is giving Barbenheimer right now: sunny summer days x a preoccupation with death. Major blockbuster energy.
