Today was interesting… it was pretty quiet this morning… got the rest of my work done.
Then about 11am or so… the Maintenence guy shows up … he does the grounds and fixes things we need fixed.
He comes every weekend and I guess during the week – but I am at school during the week.
Last Saturday he asked to use the bathroom… so I let him in and it was quick. We had a service going anyway so I didn’t really get to meet him.
Today I was by myself, and it’s Sunday – Sunday’s are usually slow and quiet.
We had some broken sprinklers so he was doing something with that … he needed to get into the area with the sprinkler system controls so I had to get the keys and let him in there.
He’s really nice – not creepy… and treated my very kindly and like a person. (Not like he was trying to hit on me or anything – very nice guy)
So he did all that and then said he was done so I had to lock that area back up … and then he was talking to me for a minute.
Said he would be back tmrw … I said well I won’t be here tmrw I only work weekends. And he said oh ok well I need to do this this and this… spoke technically to me about things he had to do
I had no idea what he was talking about – way over my head, but I smiled and nodded lol – was kinda funny
Then we just chatted for a moment – he asked what I did before coming here … well I didn’t wanna say I had cancer and had a breast job lol … work at a school and needed second job … lol … let’s keep it simple … so I just told him what I did before all that. I don’t wanna share too much of stuff. I’m not ready.
He asked if I liked it … I said yes so far so good, knock on wood! He laughed. He asked if I found it creepy lol… nah not really, not as bad as you would think
He said he takes care of several funeral homes and cemeteries.
He asked if I lived around the area – no I don’t, not really … I’m about 45 minutes away… my funeral home is in the big city – I am off in country.
So I asked if he lives in area he said yes… he owns the company with his brother. He said he likes it. He had done for years and then finally got his own company and here he is lol
Nice guy. Seems young. But really polite … I really was not expecting so much interaction lol but whatever… was nice to break up the morning. Tried to NOT be too overly guarded. I did good.
Then right after that my phone rang with a death call… so I took all that and was entered into system so body could be picked up and things started.
This person who died was smart… they already preplanned their own funeral… they are all set to go.
I know it sounds morbid – but I would like to have all my stuff situated so that all my final wishes are they way “I” want… and then also – my family won’t have to worry about those details. That’s very smart
So eventually when I am able someday – I want to plan that out, like that, for myself. Makes it all around easier when is all done and ready to go… nothing is in question as to what is wanted and the family won’t have to worry. Is all paid for and done already… preplanned.
When I had the cancer and was going through all the surgeries … I had to do a health care directive … which is a document you do incase something goes wrong… so I had to say who I wanted making decisions for me, who would be responsible for me; any religious instructions and other things I wanted such as did I want them to resuscitate or not, etc… so I have that… I just don’t have my own funeral planned yet.
Things to think about I suppose. When I am able – I am not able right now so that’s on the back burner.
Anyway… not the most exciting day … but I met the Maintenence guy, took a death call, and then learned about preplanning. I am so preplanning as soon as I am able!!! Very very smart!!
Alright well I have school tmrw – high school. Gonna get ready for bed. It’s still not time yet… if I go to bed too early – I am also up too early 🤨 and that will throw me all off … but I am tired so whatever …
Gnite for now ✌️
