HAPPY EASTER ALL!

[jennickels]

I'm not religious so this holiday has no significance to me, but I invited my dad and brother over for a ham dinner. Of course this is Sunday which is when my assignments are due. Dinner conflicts with me finishing my homework.

Patrick got home around 2pm. That's when my dad arrived. I put some food in the oven. I have homework to do. My dad and Meagan start having a deep conversation about religion (we're all athiest or agnostic or agnostic atheist) so I get involved with that. Patrick brought beer home. I'm drinking beer while talking about religion and politics. Fascinating conversation.

So now it's 5pm, most of the food is ready to prepare. I'm halfway through my 3rd beer. I'm drunk. I still have homework to do. I've had three hours of sleep. I'm tired. I'm drunk. I have to write an essay for literature and an essay quix for anthropology. Also I'm drunk.

I'm stupid.

But I feel good.

Now I need to focus which is hard because Owen (13) keeps coming in every two seconds to ask how to cook something.

Okay, off to do homework. Happy Easter to everyone that celebrates. Happy Passover to those that celebrated that. Happy Spring Equinox to those that celebrated (it's been spring here since early March).

Oh yeah, It's Nora's birthday today, too. She's nine! I can't believe it.

And Owen is taller than me now. He'll be 14 in October.

Oaky, homework. Really this time.

It's so funny because I'm religious (obviously), but Easter dinner was never a thing in my house and it's not really a thing down South despite the Bible Belt. Since I've been having a hell of a time with my depression lately, I didn't even want to try to cook a dinner... but of course everything in town except McDonald's and Dominos was closed :-/

Welcome to small town Catholic country LOL.

Maybe next year I won't feel like jumping off a cliff and I can actually fix something. That'd be spectacular *sigh*

I think the Easter dinner thing is a north/south thing, because I grew up Catholic and everyone I knew had a dinner on Easter--usually ham. It's always been tradition.
