Shocked

Happy Friday, we made it y’all!  Last night I decided to tune into HBO and watch The Mortician.  It’s a documentary series about some very disturbing things that one family in the mortuary business did, thus far with their son doing most of the disturbing acts.  It starts off bad and it’s one of those landslides where things just keep getting worse and worse and just when you think it can’t possibly be any worse something else bad happens.  There are only 2 episodes out but a new one airs each Sunday.  I’m hooked and will continue to watch. 

One of the things I’ve always wondered about with regards to cremation is how do I know that what I am given as cremains truly belonged to the person or pet that I entrusted to be cremated.  I’ve been reassured many times but hell unless you watch from start to finish you’ll never know and you just have to trust and believe.  I did get an offer to watch a deceased pet go through the process but I declined.  I mean your already upset enough over the loss, there is no way I could watch that process even though it’s just an empty shell of a body.  It’s still my pet and it would seriously adversely affect me to watch something like that.  Talk about having faith.  While I believe that most places are above board you never quite known when your going to deal with someone that is trying to cut corners or turn more of a profit for themselves.  Greed tends to be the motivating factor in every case of deception that I have seen thus far.  The criminal in the series said something to the effect of there is always left over ash and you never truly get back 100% of the cremains.  I don’t know anything about that business but I would think that if you did the job right and cleaned things out properly after each job that there would be no room for error. 

Death is always something I struggled with from childhood onward.  It was really tough to see someone young pass and I had a super hard time with that.  Now old or young it matters not, I still struggle with it.  I know that it’s something were all going to go through eventually. 

I was really taken a back by this show and how thing just kept getting worse and worse.  Seriously illegal and immoral things including murder of a competitor.  I still can’t imagine things getting much worse but I have braced myself because I think there is a lot more to come. 

On a more normal note, things are well here.  Finished off the potato casserole last night, had some more chocolate cake.  Wrote a bit more of my fantasy story which got me quite worked up (horny).  Watched some TV and had an okay nights sleep.  Some bad/odd dreams.  I got the trash out before the rain hit.  I managed to bring the barrel/container back in this morning before we get more rain. 

All in all things are moving along pretty good thus far.  I’m still very excited for tomorrow and am hoping that things go off without a hitch.  I know I haven’t shared details but I will, it’s just checking something off of a bucket list that I have wanted to do for a very long time.  I’ve told no one about it because I don’t want to jinx anything.  In the grand scheme of things, I think you will probably find it underwhelming. 

Claws are sharp on both cats again so I should probably trim nails.  I know that I need to brush them but I hate that task because fur is everywhere and my nose itches like crazy afterwards.  They both enjoy it up to a point and then they are done.  Mora is the super furry girl and I get the bulk off her.  Rudy has a tiny bit but then again he’s a tiny guy. 

Here’s hoping it’s a great weekend for all of us.  Enjoy and be well.
