What a weekend. What a bombshell. I don't know how I feel about it yet.
It's been a bit of a crazy week. I went from puttering around on the TCZ site to gung ho make a lot of changes to it at once and then go live with it in just a few days. It's been a whirlwind, and it seems to be going over okay. It did turn out well if I do say so myself. Just a few minor tweaks here and there to go, and then I can start adding new features that people are coming up with. I wish I could get my bellydancer to write me back. I finally got her site up and running, domain and all, and now it's been five days since she's written. I hope she's just away or something.
Anyway, so the family (that would be me, my cousin, his wife, and my grandparents) had a garage sale at my grandparent's house this weekend. I took Friday off to help out with it which meant getting up at 5.30am (ugh!) and it went all right. Very tiring and on top of it all I had the most horrendous cramps. Ohhhh no she's talking about periods and such - Ewww. Well deal with it - that pain was awful. And unusual for me. I never get cramps like that so I'm wondering where these came from. I couldn't even stand up straight.
Anyway, at the sale also was Ida's (my cousin's wife) sister, Sherry. My uncle stopped by as well, mainly to drop the bombshell: he is now dating Sherry. It's been a bare 6 months since his wife, my beloved aunt, died. Apparently they have been dating for about a month and a half now. She's riding around in the truck my aunt rode around in when she was well. She's probably over at my aunt's house, spending the night, invading her space.
My question is why the hell are men so quick to jump into the next relationship? If my spouse of over 20 years had just died a few months ago, I'd be gutted for a long time. My mother mourned for my dad for years - until the day she died in fact. And what makes this doubly awkward is the fact that the woman he's seeing is his wife's son's sister-in-law. In relation to me, it's my cousin's wife's sister. The one who was in prison. Not jail, but the actual state penitentiary. So fucked up. I still can't quite get my head around this. Yesterday at the sale he came driving up with her in his truck and it stung.
I just don't think it's right. It's too soon.
