Went to a Community Information Meeting about the plans to turn the #PuenteHillsMall (the #BacktotheFuture Mall) into a #datacenter.
Protect our ground water! Not a dropfor data! We want an environmental survey! #nodatacenter #cityofindustry
#Thrifted this NIB PLATINUM #Plaisir #FineNib #FountainPen for $1.99 yesterday.
Everything looked good except for the ink cartridge which I think dried out, but picked up a pack at Blick for $5.
Been wanting one of these #pens to hopefully improve my handwriting and signature.
Took my mom to the flea market and did a bit of thrifting today. We also ended up getting some free tacos, so not too bad.
Also it was nice running into a couple of friends randomly throughout the day.
For my #birthday we visited dad and then went to #GoldenCorral. Another one of those "first time since" so many folks been telling me about.
Dad loved going to #buffets and he would have loved their new make your own waffle station. #family #missyoudad
Still collecting donations to help with funeral expenses.

This is my first #birthday without you dad...I miss you so much. Wish you were still here to celebrate with me.
Not gonna lie, this is especially tough with it so close to your passing and the #funeral. #rip #missyou
Got a #flowerpress a while back and using it now to press some #flowers from my dad's #funeral to put into the funeral guest book. #rip ๐ท
Sometimes when you're #depressed, you pick up gas station #nachos. #sad #sadboihours #depression
But if it was someone trying to break in, they would have to deal with a disheveled looking Asian in a "Got Milk?" tee shirt and boxers wielding a tomahawk.
Just heard a big crash that sounded like someone was trying to break in. Grabbed my camping tomahawk and went to check it out, thankfully it was just a bunch of boxes that fell over.
Cut my finger while cleaning my new knife...welp...it's officially mine now. LoL ๐ช๐ฉธ #pocketknife #oops
Sooooooo this happened yesterday at my local #Costco.
Apparently a #car hit one of the gas pumps which fell on top of another car. #caraccidents
I would really like to thank everyone who sent their condolences for my father's recent passing and kept us in their thoughts during this difficult time.
Thank you to those who were able to donate to my ko-fi to help with food and with #funeral expenses. Thank you all. โค๏ธ #rip

Another song that my dad really liked and sometimes randomly sings was #Elvis' 'Can't Help Falling In Love'. It was the third #song on his slideshow playlist that I put together. ๐คกโค๏ธ #rip #missyou

...seriously? We just buried my father on Monday and I'm trying to sleep in today when Rose Hills calls me and wakes me up to tell me that if I pay for MY funeral services by this month I get a discount on my grave marker.

'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' was one of my dad's favorite #songs to randomly sing. I still have the #WizardofOz VHS that he and my mom gave me for my birthday when I was a kid.
It was also the first song that I put on the photo slideshow for his #funeral. ๐ โค๏ธ #rip

Back when my dad had his Water Stores, one of the ones I worked at was across the street from Burrito Track where I used to get lunch at all the time.
It's been a long while since I hit the place up, but decided to pick up a #SteakPicado #Burrito Track Special tonight. ๐ #food #foodies
Thank you.
Got mom to go to bed, now gonna sneak out to get...a big ass burger or a big ass burrito? ๐๐ฏ
So far the only thing I got to eat this morning was a small bowl of oatmeal with cranberries and a cup of coffee.
I made sure to put a flash light in your pocket so you won't be scared.
Good bye dad...until we meet again, rest well and I'll look after mom from now on. Love you. โค #rip #loveyou
Well...today we're saying our final good byes to my dad. I have a feeling right now it's the calm before the storm for me, but I'll be reminding myself throughout the day that I have to stay strong for my mom.
I love you dad, and don't worry I'll take care of mom now.
This is an important song we share, as I said time and time again that if I ever end up getting married, I want this song played during the reception.
#BobbyDarin's 'Beyond the Sea' was another favorite #song that my dad used to randomly sing.
I remember back in the day when the #videogame #BioShock first came out that featured the song and I showed him the trailer and how tickled he was.

Been running around all day getting stuff ready for Monday and ended up forgetting to #hydrate with any water, now I'm paying for it with a #headache. ๐
Sometimes my dad would just randomly burst out in song (usually in the car). One of his favorites was #JohnDenver's 'Take Me Home, #CountryRoads'.
It's now one of those songs that's always gonna make tear up a bit.

There's a nice little nature trail nearby my dad's grave and right behind it is another grave site set right into the hill.

After a number of people have asked how to help out with my father's passing and funeral, I've decided instead of doing a gofundme and adding another thing onto my already very full plate or PM'ing people my PayPal is to just open up my ko-fi to accept donations and etc.
