Lizet's Place

What weird food combinations do you really enjoy?
I don't know. Maybe eggs and ketchup and hot sauce?

What’s wrong but sounds right?
All you can eat jumbo shrimp haha

Should kidneys be able to be bought and sold?
On the one hand, yes because the person selling the kidney should be able to do what they want with their organs...but then no, because there are people waiting on the transplant list who can't afford to buy needed organs and they could die while some rich dude (who probably got his money illegally) can buy one.

Today has been A DAY!

I was woken up 40 minutes before my alarm for a video call with my cousins. I was going to decline it but something told me to accept it. So I did, and it was a good thing. It was one of my cousins with an update on her mom (my aunt).

I was closer to her when I was younger and spent time with her during the summer, but other than her being my dad's sister and her coming out for a few days while my dad was on hospice care, I didn't have a real connection with her. So my sister, one other cousin and I got to see our aunt and tell her that we love her, even though she likely couldn't hear us.

Then about 7 hours later I found out that she passed away.


So that's been my day. I didn't get anything accomplished after the phone call. I halfheartedly went through my mail from the last year and sorted what I'd need for tax purposes next year.

Tomorrow is Kim's IHSS recertification. I hope she gets more hours because that means more money for me. What we do not want is for hours to be decreased...although that would probably help me get more CalFresh money, but no. I already struggle with paying my bills. I don't want to struggle even more.

I also have my Intro to Accounting final. It becomes available in 2 hours and 55 minutes, but I don't plan on starting it until after Kim's appointment. I need to think about one major thing at a time

I got a call from the mortuary. They got a date from Riverside National Cemetery. The next available date for services is December 1 at 1:45 pm.

HOLY COW! That's in 12 days away and 20 days after his death!

I get it's first come, first serve kind of thing, but it just seems like too much time. Make me want to find out how many services a day they do that's given us a date that's so far away.

But I'm also assuming that since things have gone forward, that the mortuary got their money from the life insurance my mom had through her job and that by the end of this month we should be getting the remaining money. I also need to go to the Social Security office with my mom to sort out the survivors benefits stuff my mom should be getting from my dad's social security, but we can't do that until we get the death certificate.

My dad passed away about 45 minutes ago (2:30 am California time). We're waiting for our hospice nurse/doctor to come and "confirm" his death.

Family has been called and we've told closer friends, but I still "feel" the need to tell people. I haven't posted anything to facebook or twitter yet. I did update my rp tumblr, which I don't know why, really. But they know now.

My aunt in Oregon (the one taken off dialysis earlier this month) died about 40 mins ago.

If I remember correctly, the doctors were giving her 3-10 day once they took her off dialysis, but it was something like 19 days. I know my Aunt was a fighter. From what I remember of her, she fought her health issues for years before she finally went on dialysis, but that seemed to make her worse until the doctors gave the news that she couldn't continue with it because she had no more viable veins.

So my mom is calling her family to tell them, so far is seems like they already know because my cousins have called.

This news has been a bucket of ice water on what had been a fantastic afternoon full of behind the scenes H50 pics from season 5 filming.

I want to be in a happy mood again

Just found out my Pastor died at 8 am today.

I found out about 30 minutes ago when my dad called to say that he and my mom would be home in a couple of hours.

I'm a bit ticked. I know why Staci or Lora wouldn't have been able to tell me, but my parents called and told everyone else at the church shortly after he passed, but for me, 7 hours go by and I'm told as sort of an afterthought.

Yes, I was in class at 8am, but they could have left a message and I would have gotten it during my break.

Now we're doing a mad dash of schedule shuffling to make sure or weekends are free as we don't know when the funeral is going to be. I think it might be in a couple of weeks, but I'm not sure - it could be longer.
