Quick note: It's my birthday this weekend (... yaay?) so I'm probably going to head out on Friday for a few drinks. If anyone wants, feel free to join in. Hopefully this ride is a bit more cathartic than the funeral (I find those are normally more for the immediate family than the person who died ... the tone of it didn't help me much and I feel like I need *something* to let me say goodbye properly and start to move on with life).
