I don't usually like to post about anything personal, but I don't think there's a reason not to mention that my grandmother passed away the other morning. I'm not going to say anything about that except that I'm very sad about it, but that sadness is mitigated in knowing that she had lived a very long, very rich life.
Needless to say, my brother and I are heading back east (New York) for the funeral. This is where the dread kicks in. I've managed to avoid flying anywhere since before Plan C was born, almost two years now. This isn't one of those flights you can pretend is almost over the whole time, either; it's something like 7 hours from Portland to DC, then there's another hour-long hopper from DC to NYC. I finally managed to break through my apprehension a little bit this morning and just try to be rational about it, but the fact remains: waking up at 4:45am tomorrow and spending all day doing the thing I fear and loathe the most in the world is bumming me out.
At least I never gave a shit about new year's, anyway, since I seriously hope I'm well asleep by midnight.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother and the having to fly. I feel your pain.
Oh, I have been approved for a 5 year resident (and work) visa in Germany. Happy 2012!
