Why can't I stop sneezing?

Yes, that was an embellishment. four or five times doesn't quite constitute "can't stop."

However, "can't stop" is a good song. And a nice video, too.

Anyway, last night after I got my sheets out of the dryer and brought them upstairs (at 1:45), my cat came in the room and was walking around on my bed for a while. So I had a hard time making my bed. I managed to get the fitted sheet onto the mattress before he lied down in the middle of the bed. Now, when I say middle, I'm not just talking about the middle in terms of longways orshortways. I'm talking about getting any closer to the exact center of the bed would require lazer measurements (and he just made me let him out again). So I thought that if I put the flat sheet on top and put it on him, he wouldn't like that and so he'd get up. I put that sheet on, then the blanket and the cover over that. Of course, he's not moving. I put the pillow in its case, and lied down next to him, and tried to wait for him to get up. He didn't, so I put the sheets on him a few times, and then (finally), forty-five minutes after I got upstairs, he finally got up and left the room.

So I got up this morning after five and a quarter hours of sleep for my Great-Uncle's Funeral. I don't get a lot of Christian funeral rituals and such. I, maybe because I've been brought up with them, like the Jewish ones better. I don't like open casket funerals. There's a Jewish teaching or saying or something, that the reason that Jewish funerals are closed-casket is becuase one doesn't want to remember the last time seeing that person when they're lying in their casket, one wants to remember them full of life. For the burial, the Jewish custom is that everyone helps to actually bury the casket; i.e. there's a mound of dirt and shovels, and everyone takes a spadeful of dirt and puts it on the lowered casket. It helps with closure, you don't just leave the casket up on the straps. Also, the family buries the person, not people that never knew him or her. Also, the ritual of leaving a small stone on the headstone is nice, because it's something that people can do as a ritual. I don't know, maybe there's prayers that fulfill the same purpose, but I don't know.

Anyway, I slept in the car coming home from song 2 to song 10 on BNL's "Maybe You Should Drive" album. It's good.

I then took a two and a half hour nap. When I woke up, I was surprised by my sister having a friend over in the next room. meh.

that's about all that happened today, well, I ate supper, which is good. but yeah.
