I KNOW I did write an entry yesterday - either the same problem that made the exceel program (and everything else) work slowly, or i worded my complaints in a way to offend moderators. if the second, my apologies
so recap: unpacked and sorted bedroom, visited widowed aunt-in-law who did a cofee reading about happy news, got a telephone call from a friend for his registry office wedding today, which totally cancelled our plans to visit dad's grave this morning. spent the afternoon evening being upset at the excell program, average was down a bit, but i didn't care.
end of re-cap.
today:
cat woke me up at 4:30 in the morning (notice not using appropriate words). got up at 7 - it was snowing. we were supposed to be there at a quarter to 11, called for taxi at 10 - it's friday, it's supposed to be no traffic! taxi arrived at 10:30, we got there at 11 - first ones of the wedding party to arrive, together with the groom's mother.
nice ceremony considering:
"you (insert appropriate word for the groom)! you visited mom last month and no word that you were seriously involved with anyone, much less planning a wedding!"
"Well, i didn't know about it myself until a week ago."

traffic traffic traffic made it still on time to the restaurant for reception lunch, but had to wait almost an hour to eat because of the guests who hadn't attended the ceremony! made our deadline of 2 p.m. WITH lunch, back at home 20 minutes later (no traffic?) changed into warmer clothing, took a killer painkiller (NOT over the counter - i only get it because the drugstore knows about my headache history and that i'm very carefull alternating it with lighter stuff), head out again at 3 to stand in line for the german church christmas bazar. was joined by lil' bro and his wife - completely adorable lovebirds still. not much luck at the lottery - LOTS of tea and none of the bigger prices - and i REALLY wanted a Waffel Iron! bought lots of traditional german christmas cakes and cookies, none of which i can eat because i'm allergic to the main ingridient: cinamon. but mom is happy with the haul. this was the first time she attended as a visitor, not a volunteer safely behind a table, and after one initial round she just sat and watched our shopping bags.
Sad though: one of mom's best friends, who had manned the lottery winnings table for nearly 30 years first with her daughter and then with the son-in-law had passed away this year a couple of days before my uncle. if was hard for me to go there, it must have been hell for the daughter i hugged her as hard as i could over the table.
