Not so Happy Easter.

Whomever thought it was a good idea to start drinking at one o'clock in the afternoon on Easter Sunday needs to be shot.  Yes that was me.  That now is making Monday morning at the nuthouse even more outstanding.  Yes, I know I should have stopped drinking at some point, but I didn't, whoops.....I suppose it happens to the best of us, but I really just wanted the day to be over as soon as it came.  

Easter isn't the best of days, well to me anyway.  First off, I am not that religious, I know I should be, but something just doesn't click. (Nemisis you are probably hating me at the moment for saying that.  If you want, you can get rid of me at any point, lol).  Anyway, that isn't the sole reason I am not a fan of Easter.  

Two years ago Easter day was the last time I saw my Pap.   We had a great day of drinking(shocker), eating, then watching 'The Sound of Music.'  He sat in the olive-colored recliner, so happy, singing along with every song, tapping his feet, and telling me how great the movie is.  After all, that was the first time I watched the entire movie.  After the movie, my dad took him home, and exactly a week later he passed away.   It wouldn't have been so bad if he had been terminally ill, at least you know it is coming.   With him, it was so sudden. One day he was fine and the next he was in the hospital.  Granted he was in his late 80's and had some health issues, but nothing major.  So everything that transpired from Easter sunday to the next Sunday was all a surprise.

So anyway last night in my drunken state, I wanted to watch 'The Sound of Music'.  Apparently it aired everywhere except in Pittsburgh.  To say the least, I was not a happy camper.  So that was that, today is a new day.  A new day to let go of yesterday, and be a happy camper.
