Memorial Day. It's a holiday created to memorialize those who've died, right?
All day today, people were talking about Memorial weekend and all their lovely travel plans, and then they'd turn and ask me what my plans are... as if G and I could actually afford to get out of town right now. We can't even pay our bills, let alone take a few days away. My Memorial Day plans don't include slipping away to Seattle or the coast or NYC for the weekend. No. I'm planning on getting painful dental work done and going to the cemetery to visit my son's grave. I decided to keep my "holiday weekend" plans to myself. Dental drilling and cemetery visits aren't exactly the best conversation pieces at the staff room lunch table.
Happy Memorial Day everyone!
