She was a jerk to the end

My stepsister managed to prevent me from knowing when the funeral was until it was too late. The obituary on the funeral home site (which I didn't find until too late) does not even list me as a survivor. It does list some people who are, in my opinion, more distantly related than me. Nor does it mention having been predeceased by his loving wife.

Some people are just too petty.

I did learn that he was buried rather than cremated and which cemetery he's in, so perhaps on my next trip to California I will take an extra day and go on a road trip and say goodbye.

My annual square dance is in 2.5 weeks. Therefore, it's time to get the Covid vaccine. So earlier today I biked to the pharmacy, and now I am very tired.

I elected to get SpikeVax rather than mNexSpike because Ken says that mNexSpike actually was formulated earlier due to regulation delays, and therefore on an older variant. It wasn't hard to get them to do what I wanted, even though it's not the default for my age. They were extremely efficient; I was in there for less than 10 minutes, and got home in plenty of time for my 3 PM meeting.

Flaky odometer

My odometer has been flaking out. I looked down at it and see that my speed is recorded as zero, and it is not adding to my miles. Then I stop and wiggle all the wires, and it seems to go again. Today I apparently didn't look at it for about 2 miles, because when I looked down I saw that it said 1.48, and I knew that the place I was, was about 3.5 miles from home. So I stopped in with a little the wires and I couldn't make it go, so I shrugged and said okay I guess I know I'm going about 10 and I will just write down the 8.5 and go buy a new odometer sometime. But then, seemingly about a quarter-mile later, it started recording and recorded the rest of the ride. *shrug* But maybe I should buy a new odometer anyway.

1679 (1681) so far for the year.

Shooting for 100

But he didn't make it.

I heard today that my stepfather passed away yesterday at age 97. So there's no more need for angst about not being able to see him. There is just lingering sadness that I did not get to see him.

I've sort of already been grieving all this past year so it's not really making me upset that he has now actually passed.

My stepsister was actually pretty decent on the phone about it. She doesn't have funeral arrangements yet, and I'm crossing my fingers that she will in fact let me know what they are in time to buy plane tickets. Maybe I can figure out what funeral home they are using and find out that way.
