I'm deleting everything off my Instagram. It's for a movie role, Blake Lively style. Ha ha I kidd. Just needed change. Gonna make it not friends only anymore and stop posting selfies save those for facebook and less often?

When my Poppie was in the hospital, back in February OF LAST YEAR, Mom had his address changed to our P.O. Box so she could get all his mail when she was Power of Attorney. Poppie passed beginning of March 2019. It is January 2020 and I open the P.O. box and we are still getting mail for my deceased Grandfather, it is a kick to the gut every time. You would think I would "get used to it" or it "wouldn't hurt" nope, every day I walk out of my post office holding the mail ready to cry. I really don't think I grieved his passing properly as like I've said they lived in Florida my entire life and I only saw them when we went to visit down there or they came up here (My Mee Mee pre-deceased him in 2012.) He was one of my biggest cheerleaders in my recovery, asking Mom every night how I was doing and would be one of my first people to call when I had a huge accomplishment. It aches non-stop and I can't turn it off. When will all these places stop sending him mail and realize that he is no longer with us?

Another thing in my recovery is honesty. I always try and make sure to do the right thing and/or tell the truth. Welp I am having a serious case of the fuck-its right now. I have this CD I ordered on ebay, in December, like two days after Christmas. It was only 2.99 plus NY taxed it. So I paid $3.20 for it I wasn't really expecting much as far as the free shipping. But the seller updated it as shipped on December 31st and was from Maryland so I should have had it second week of January at the latest? The shipping information never updated, I contacted them, they said oops sorry must have gotten overlooked will ship out tomorrow and refund half the cost for the frustration, I was as nice as I could have been in my message basically passive aggressive- I know I only paid 2.99 for it but I ordered it last year and expected it to be here by now. Long story short, I would have already given up reading this... it arrived today!! And ebay has since tendered my refund, and I bought another and ordered that and it is also on it's way here should arrive Saturday. Good hearted me would be all I should send it back but me with the fuck-it's is like after all the frustration I'm KEEPING IT. Not sure what to do about the other one when it gets here though?
Also it is Hozier Wasteland, Baby. And yes it is 2020 and I still buy CD's. Bite me.

Also I have picked out my new computer and submitted the paperwork to my trust- will let y'all know when that fun time is here and how well this one is working now that it has all been taken care of.

*hugs*. Glad you got your CD - after all of the hassle, it seems only fair that you get two, lol! :-)

I don't think we can ever stop missing people we love... but it must be so painful to have constant reminders.

(((hugs)))

I buy CD's also!

IT hasn't happened recent but we would get mail for my deceased Grandmother, at our South Carolina address, she had passed two years before we moved down here. So it's like WTF. We sometimes get stuff for my Granddad too and he's been gone a while now too. Maybe if it's not junk mail see if there is a place you can send a cease and desist type thing? Unfortunately if it's junk mail his name must still be on some stupid mailing list.

I'm sorry that it makes you emotional, the wound is still new it's going to take time to heal.

I still get CDs too, I don't like downloading stuff. I haven't bought on in a while though because my CD place went out of business last year. *sigh* That reminds me though I need to buy the Labyrinth soundtrack.

Same, actually. I have this thing that I usually have physical copies AND digital ones of my fave bands (if I can afford them, that is, because sometimes, CDs are a bit expensive), because I love having both and all. Gotta be a bit retro at times, and hey, vinyls are having a strong comeback as well. (Not my thing, though, but several folks I know collect vinyls, too.) That being said, there are still some CDs I yet have to get my greedy paws on, but at least, they're on my iPod or laptop. :)

*hugs* re: your Poppie

Hugs. I'd probably keep the CD too.
