Ok so maybe I might possibly still be afraid of the dark lol

I want to shut the light off, because it is in my eyes. But if I shut the light off – it will be dark and no.

I might go grab one of our lamps and just have that on … I have a night light I brought in preparation – however it is not good enough lol ✌️

Oh yes – I just did that. The lamp is much better. Not shining in my eyes and a soft amber glow ❤️ ahhh there … I can sleep like that ❤️ much softer ❤️

I am so glad that I did stay – that was a good decision because it is storming really bad!!

I will only need to stay tonight because then I have Friday off

So tomorrow night it’s fine to drive home lol … but is bad outside

I have gone around and checked all the doors – I set the alarm for “stay” so that the building is alarmed but I can be inside lol… I just have to remember before I open any door tmrw lol 😄✌️

But anyway, it’s not so bad. I just don’t want the total dark lol

✌️

Lol

Ok gnite – gonna read for awhile

😘✌️

Yeah – I stayed tonight. So far is just me but at least one of my arrangers has no power at home … and I don’t know about the other – so they may come back and stay with me – because the funeral home has power and heat … I have a whole kitchen, bathrooms, etc

I set up a cot in my office which is the warmest room ❤️ I have extension cord for my cell phone

I already let my boss know I was staying over for the night – and we good 👌

The girls were like “but Trisha lol, are you gonna wear pajamas?” lol

Ok but prior to that there was a funny story 😄😄

Some man’s mother died and she had a box labeled “clothes for my funeral” lol… she was in her 90’s but when we opened the box with the son – it was “see through” 😮 there is a viewing lol 😄😄😄 it was a little see through nighty lol

The son was like “nope” 😄😄😄… he said she can be buried in that if she wants that’s fine – but I do not want to view her like that – so he gave us different clothing for the viewing lol

So when they asked me if I was sleeping in pajamas – I said do not worry – none of my stuff is like that ladies lol

And I would not bring that to work to sleep in lol – what are they thinking lol … my pajamas are little bottoms with a long sleeve top. It’s fricken cold 🥶 and pouring!! I am not wearing see through stuff at work thank you – at home sure. Not at work.

Anyway… so this is interesting. This will be little tiny life adventure ❤️❤️

The winds are really bad and so is the rain!! It’s crazy!! I won’t have to drive in it tonight or tmrw…

Ok let me get my NON see through pajamas on lol… I be back ❤️👌

Also… I haven’t had dinner yet… I have a kitchen but I did not shop so I might just order a pizza 🍕

And then they come to deliver that pizza and I’m in my pajamas at a funeral home lol

It’s just funny or I am so over worked that I am delirious and this is weird lol … but right now I find it cool and funny so we see how rest of night goes

When I came in this morning… across the street from the funeral home a tree had fallen across the road. 😮

Crews had that cleaned up fast

There are downed trees, power lines, tons of damage from the wind and rain… yeah I don’t wanna drive in that.

Ok let me get my jammies on ❤️

youtube.com/watch

That is the fun aspect…

However… if the following things happen… I am out and I will get a hotel lol ✌️😘 cause no! …

youtube.com/watch

Yeah if I see anything like that – I be out so fast lol

Ok jammies!! I want jammies

I be back ❤️✌️

Did I stay? Lol … actually the storm has not started yet – is moving in now. So I went home. Will be storming by morning… it will be tomorrow night and Thursday morning I care about so I just don’t wanna keep doing the highways in bad bad weather I have to leave like 2 hours before work to handle those highways in rain!!

That is too much and it is not safe!

I have so much work it isn’t even funny!! Tons and tons of work!!! That I have to finish before Thursday

And I took Friday off but I might have to run in for that coroner case ? We see!! I might have to.

It is freezing freezing cold 🥶

And the skies are looking fierce!! 😮 by morning it will be bad! So tmrw morning I will contend with bad weather commute 😩😝😝😝

Ok I have to do some stuff – I will try to be back 😘✌️

I am a planner. If I know something is coming or I know something will come – I plan for it. Because I do not like this surprise full of crap stuff.

I much prefer to know what is coming so that I may prepare lol ✌️ but life won’t do that for me 🤨

So I just plan when I can.

Today at work… my phone starts going crazy!! First with freeze warning ⚠️ … ok fine … it will be cold. Fine whatever … I knew it was gonna take back my spring!!

I knew it was too good to be true!!

I just wanted to believe it would be spring so badly!! Lol ✌️ I am so close!!

Anyway whatever – cold is coming.

Well then it starts going off again and this time it tells me Flood warning 🤨 alright 🤨

So cold and flooding 🤨 awesome

So… I was thinking… I have home quarters at work. I have a cot. I could just stay at work… there is a shower. I might do that rather than drive home in a horrible storm and then drive back in same storm the next morning… I don’t really want to do that.

So I might we see? I will think about it – but I have prepare incase I decide yes lol

I have my blankets, and clothing and towels and necessities. I have the cot and pillow and everything in my car already. I am ready just incase it’s really bad- cause those highways are horrific normally nevermind in a storm like that.

So I will check out this shower tmrw and just see that it works – we never use it

So we will see. Just that drive really makes me uneasy in a storm like that. I just do not trust these California drivers on highways in the rain!

I just really don’t want to do that. I cringe thinking of the drive!!! My daughter will be with her father, so I won’t have to get back home for her.

I close and open anyway…

So I’ll see what I wanna do. I will probably chicken out anyway ✌️ I dunno? Depends on how bad is.

So we actually are really really busy… we have a completely FULL board!! If we get anymore I have to try using a different board cause we have no spaces

Cemeteries are at least 2 weeks out in booking… it busy busy busy.

We will have a lull, and we think ahhh breath for a minute!!! But then they just keep coming.

I have one that I am working with because it is a coroner case.

I don’t usually get involved because I am office manager so I make sure they are happy with services. But I don’t usually handle any of the cases myself… other than slightly, but this one is different.

We don’t even have the call yet. I have very little info.

A man died – and no next of kin was known so it then becomes ward of the coroner. By law the coroner has to do everything in their power to hunt down next of kin. It is their signatures we need. By law.

If no one could be found then it is up to coroner how to handle. If someone is offering to take responsibility – I highly doubt the coroner would not accept that.

In order to have a body released from the coroner … there is a $400 release fee – (not everyone needs or goes to coroner) he is at coroner because they tracking down family.

I have been helping this mans friends because they want to give him a funeral. ❤️ he was very loved. They want to pay whatever it takes for him to have a funeral

They just want to properly send him off. Well … they found family… so they may get their wish ❤️❤️

I will need vitals…

Your vitals are the information for the death certificate. Date of birth, date of death – time of death – where was born… parents names, where parents were born. Where lived, where died. How many years in county… what did you do for work? How long did you do that? Highest education level etc … we ask you lots of questions – we need as much as we can get!

Anyway… it’s very touching they care about this man the way that they do ❤️

That is very sweet – I was touched by the story immediately. ❤️

Sometimes there is heartwarming in the losses. Isn’t that weird? It’s a loss… but it is heartwarming … how loved he was that they go to these lengths for this man ❤️

So I dunno… it is heartwarmingly beautiful ❤️ … but still sad because is a loss so that messes me up! I have 2 sides on that one!! Heartbreak and heartwarming …that is so weird to me!! It does not fit together?? But then in this case, it does 😮

Heartbreak and heartwarming – all in one 😮 so weird but also very beautiful! ❤️

He must have been quite a man for his friends to do this for him. They didn’t have to, but they did ❤️ they have hearts ❤️

So yeah it is a sad but also beautiful story. Very touching. I feel for them.

Anyway… what else?? I suppose that is it. ?? I don’t know ? I feel like I am forgetting something?

youtube.com/watch

It is cold tonight 🥶 – very cold… and I have heater on – it is still cold brrr

It is in these moments that I long for the warmth really bad lol … but ok fine … cold

☃️

Anyway… I am always really tired. We have funerals every day this week. So I am tired from today and a lot went on today … no water heater stuff though ❤️ that was heavenly. Omg yes!!

Anyway… it is cold. And I want to bury myself under thousands of covers lol 😘❤️ I want to hibernate lol – doesn’t that sound heavenly in the cold? You just stay under the covers lol … until spring lol

Well it “sounds” amazing anyway lol

So yeah I want to go crawl in bed ❤️✌️😘 good night 😴💤 🌙

youtube.com/watch

My week will be thrown off because all day tmrw will seem like Tuesday lol but oh well

This coming weekend – I have Friday Saturday and Sunday off!! Woot woot!! 🙌

Not that I can do anything with that – but I have it off lol

Friday my car HAS to be serviced!! I think I am just going to prebook appts with him way far in advance … so takes me about 2 months and then I need service, so I’ll book 2 months in advance… if he will let me?? 🙏 lol

I had 2 imminents and they both died. ☹️💔 we have several more than what we had when I left on Friday ☹️

I think the guy I don’t like comes today? We shall see – it will either be him or his wife 😄😄😄

I am sorry I just find that funny. He can’t handle me, so he has his wife do it

Whatever 🙄✌️

Way to man up!

Yes I can be a smart ass 😘

But whatever… I don’t care as long as work gets done. It’s just funny to me that he can’t handle me lol … I am like the easiest person to handle…

Just don’t take advantage and we good ✌️

Alright… I have a lot to do and a lot of families to call. ☹️

I be back when able ✌️

youtube.com/watch

So it is Thursday!! I am oncall this evening. So… as always for every Thursday or everyday if possible (but definitely Thursdays) try not to die because you know Friday is right there. 🙏

Ok so no dying… I feel like I have to say that – not that it matters cause death doesn’t listen to me … but I just say that to hope for that. 😘🙏

youtube.com/watch

Remember Mr annoying guy? So he has his wife call me this morning to try to talk to me 🤨 … are you not man enough to handle your own business you have to have your wife do that? She has nothing to do with the issue at hand and does not handle his business. She was calling to talk to me as a woman 🤨… and also she used to be in this business so maybe she smooth for him

She did… but let’s see if he can handle it or not.

So I go over all of it with her and claim exact same I said to him.

So… the terms are he has agreed to come back and fix, for free under that warranty

So originally she says to me… he wants to come on Sunday … will someone be there Sunday

Yes ma’mam… I will be there Sunday – he will get to see “ME”

Ok so then it was left like that

Well we do not get along. I literally just met the man and we clash hard core.

I’m trying to handle the office and families at same time!!! I have proof and documentation everything so handle it.

Well he calls – of course when I step away… and he tells my girls he can’t make it on Sunday

Huh isn’t that funny

Then she calls me back and asks if they can come after hours… absolutely not!

You pick – 7 days a week – 8am- 5pm – you schedule that with “ME” – not my girls. It is my job not theirs

And he will need to get here with plenty of time to do the work and be gone by 5pm … doors close at 5pm

He does not want to see me evidentially… whatever … grow up buddy, cause I am making sure I am there so I can watch his mF’ing work. So he isn’t getting around that…

I’ve been handling this… and I report and record all the details and send info to boss to keep updated…

So which game you wanna play buddy?

I’ve giving you the chance to fix the situation because your wife handled your shit.

So you gonna be a man or not?

Goodness gracious – can we hurry up and be done with this? I don’t wanna deal with him anymore

So that is his last chance – he has business hours 7 days a week. And that must be scheduled due to services .

If he fucks this up… I’ll hand it over to my boss and he really be done.

I do not like this guy at all!!! I do not believe he likes me either ✌️ … won’t be a problem if he just finishes and be done

But he’s gotta make it all dramatic cause he can’t handle his shit. I will be there during the work – so he’s not getting around that… I will give space for him to work and I have my own things going on- but he will need to show me before he is finished

Well whatever – we do not like each other!!! The faster I am done with this guy the better.

youtube.com/watch

I’m not looking to argue, I’m looking for it to be handled and fixed – shouldn’t even need to be fixed!!

If he wants to fix and avoid problems… I’m ok with that for free under that warranty. But I will be there, he will deal with me, and during business hours.

If he’s not shady, then that shouldn’t be a problem. I bet he brings his wife

Oh god 🤨🙄 whatever – I don’t care

I am more than happy to crush this – get it done and be done. I am sure that he also, would like to be done with me just as much.

But anyway… besides that… I ordered groceries, picked up and dropped off for my little German lady

She is the sweetest ❤️ (to me, because my friend says that is because I am not her daughter lol… and this is true) but she is very sweet – I find her really endearing ❤️ but the funny thing is she just this little hard core little lady lol… she’s German. She grew up in Germany … when she speaks English she has the most adorable little accent – it’s actually a very thick German accent. Is adorable.

She’s VERY straight narrow. Also strong – funny – maybe not on purpose?

Anyway, so she is taken care of ❤️

So far she seem to be doing alright but is sick… just not any worse. 🙏🙏 hopefully she be ok

I just pulled up… ran up to door, put them on a shelf and drove off…

I texted after I left lol ✌️

I keep hearing that commercial that says… love means staying away!!!

I do not particularly like this slogan they have going. Every time that commercial comes on… it makes me cringe

I don’t even know what the commercial is for because that slogan bothers me like that… but whatever just saying ✌️

Ok I am really exhausted. Ugh 🤦‍♀️… ok I need bed 🤨😴 … it’s like work, bed, work, bed lol … that is pretty much what it is omg… for right now is fine. What else am I gonna do? And I do like it … except for dealing with this guy!!!

Ugh I be back when able.

youtube.com/watch

Good night ❤️💋✌️

So today I had to be an office manager 🤨 oh I don’t wanna talk about it… it makes my blood pressure rise instantly!! I can feel it!!!

It’s that stupid water heater and this fricken contractor is trying to do extortion 🤨 is under warranty and then he take a part off and capped it – I still have water and hot water but hot water takes like 10/15 minutes 🤨

I just want him to reconnect the pipe he took off and put back without a leak.

He wanna charge me $200 plus parts and labor – I found proof it was less than a year ago he installed, and when I show to him he say oh no it was 90 days – bullshit – alright bro… bite me then ✌️ I don’t deal with crooks

I will find another who will do the job correctly the first time and not try to do extortion 🤨 wtf!

So we had words today… I let him speak and then he wouldn’t let me speak so whatever – I said …look, I let you speak and heard you out, now you hear me… and so I asked him point blank …

So while it’s under a year and you aren’t standing by your work, what you are telling me is you are not going to replace the pipe you JUST took out, unless I pay you $200 plus parts and labor 🤨 is that what you are saying?

And so he said he’s gotta get paid…

It’s under warranty and under a year!!! That is bullshit!!

Alright thanks we will no longer be needing your services. And done ✌️

youtube.com/watch

Today I stood strong and firm with this guy trying to argue with me … my girls just watched but was funny because their eyes were all wide lol… cause I wasn’t gonna back down… thats under warranty and is under a year with proof! He argued with me over everything and nope – I am not dealing with that!

If you good to me… I will throw all my business your way… but you wanna extort and nope I am done – bye 👋

So I didn’t wanna talk about it but ended up talking about it anyway lol … do you see how the week is going!!

Then… remember guy who want to know me… ok well I believe he is faster and more over my head… I don’t want that … so I told him – I am definitely not that type. I am ok if you want to get to know me – but I don’t know you yet.

So… not quite sure how he takes that – but that’s how it is.

He seems very unsure how to handle me?

So whatever – that is silent. I’m not looking for just good times – sorry – love good times very much … but you have to have more substance than just that.

Ok so… now I have new contractor guy. He better come with “A” game lol ✌️😄

I am teasing Lol … I promise I am not scary at all lol

But I do stand my ground … and I will be watching and observing to see if I want to conduct business with him. Don’t be shady and you won’t have anything to worry about. ✌️😘

I will manage my office and take care of my girls (and one guy lol) (my part timer which is awesome he is amazing!!!!!!!!!)

This part timer I have … I just want to duplicate him omg!! He is amazing … takes notes does any job I give him, he learns fast, when I run out of jobs, he will find his own and takes initiative … we adore him!! He is perfect!!!

So that aspect is going REALLY well!! He’s awesome!!

Anyway. Also… work gave me an anniversary pin ❤️ because February 8th is my one year anniversary with them 😮❤️ I stayed with death the whole year 😮

It has been an adventure lol

youtube.com/watch

youtube.com/watch

Oh yes … and lastly – I haven’t had any news on… but I know I have a new president ❤️ and it’s seems like all went well ❤️

So now I am at ease on that end for the moment ✌️

I have a huge thing for a family going on tmrw – I have to be there early

So I do have to go to bed early – but I will see what I can read for little while ❤️

Gnite 😘❤️✌️

Let’s hope we can act like civilized people today 🙏🙏🙏

Today is our Inauguration Day

Hopefully there are no issues and we can move forward. 🙏

It hasn’t started yet – it happens at 12 noon eastern time which is 9am my time.

youtube.com/watch

Please let it be peaceful 🙏

Ok off to work ✌️😘

Work was busy – crazy busy.

I had a really sad sad story today 💔💔💔 sometimes there are just heartbreaking things!!!

Let not talk about that because my heart severely broke for that family today. I am still pained with their situation. It is literally beyond heartbreaking. 💔 So we gonna skip right over that…

All day long was go go go go!!! It’s insane

And then we have soooo many families!!!! Some families are really amazing – close and loving – work great together ❤️

And then we also have families who are estranged, or don’t get along… those are hard because we have to be all up in the family stuff … emotions are really high when is a loss.

Also every single time – everyone is always REALLY sweet and friendly to “me”… everyone is always REALLY nice to me… their tone of voice with me… is very different – they are happy to talk to me

…but then with my arrangers sometimes the people aren’t very nice to them? Their tone changes … Maybe because arrangers talk money – I just smile and say hello lol ✌️I just get to offer comfort – the arranger has to make them happy and plus they sell things so maybe people are that way because of that?

Tmrw I have stuff happening at work and I have to have the gas company there 🤨 that’s part of that long dumb story about the locked door. 🤨

Let’s not talk about that one either lol – that one frustrates me lol

I don’t like any of my stories tonight ✌️

After work today I did go and get shot one … of two… of the vaccine.

They gave me Moderna – so I go back again for the second dose on Feb 16.

I had to have already been signed up … which I was… and I had to fill out some paperwork…

They wanted to know my race and my job.

They also asked health questions – did I feel ok today and have I ever experienced any severe allergic reaction to any medications – I am allergic to Penicillin, or any of the Cillins lol

But that was fine.

They asked me about my cancer … also one of my arms can never be used for blood draws or shots – my right side because they took lymph nodes from that side. It is compromised now. Always has to go left.

But they also said… this has not been tested on people who have had cancer, many people have different reactions, are you ok with that?

Yes I am ok with that.

So… I wore the wrong shirt and almost had to take my shirt off cause they want the tippy top of your shoulder.

But I was able to get shirt sleeve up high enough thank god!! I did not want to end up topless for a fricken vaccine lol

It’s a small little syringe 💉 I looked away, because I am wimpy ✌️… It just felt like she put something to my shoulder, but I felt no needle.

I had to wait 10 minutes before they let me leave, so they could make sure I was doing ok. I was fine.

It’s fine mostly… but I can feel it now… is similar to a tetanus shot. Area will kinda hurt?

Other than that, I am feeling fine – they said first dose shouldn’t be too many problems … but the second dose has the potential to make me sick with those similar symptoms 🤨 like diarrhea, headache, vomiting, fever, congestion etc 🤨 it just won’t kill me (although I may feel that way lol)

Ok so the second shot could make me sick 🤨 we will see 😳

So ok first one is over with – I am still alive.

I still don’t feel totally safe though … and I will still have to be masked and have precautions.

Feb 16th is dose 2

So far, other than the pain at the injection site – I seem ok? I had it done 4 hours ago

Alright well I am tired and tmrw I have a lot with gas company and the also families

I have to sleep. I will try to be back at some point – sometimes I feel like I run in circles ✌️

Good night 😴🌙💤
