15 things to bring to an out-of-town wedding

Just suggestions! 

  1. Sunscreen (I say this as a pale person who forgot this before)
  2. A card (I say this as someone who forgot one)
  3. Camera (hopefully you'll see some new stuff while out of town)
  4. Your wedding outfit (this can be hard to replace)
  5. Whatever you need to get ready (makeup, hair spray, etc.)
  6. Downloaded maps (if you're like me, your cell service can vary greatly outside Chicago)
  7. Guidebook (mostly you only need this if you are either spending a lot of time there or where you're going is foreign to you)
  8. Screenshots or printed versions of your hotel etc. reservations (if you're like me, your cell service can vary greatly outside Chicago)
  9. Phone numbers of people available for questions (this may be the couple, but it may be people in the wedding party)
  10. Downloaded language for translation (if your native language isn't the primary language of where you're going)
  11. Whatever you need for an overnight (meds, nightguard, etc.)
  12. A clear itinerary of wedding events (you don't want to come all this way and miss something)
  13. Entertainment for your travel time (book, podcast, etc.)
  14. Anything you need for comfy travel (neck pillow, comfy travel clothes, etc.)
  15. Whatever you need for extra activities (hiking boots, swimsuit, etc.)

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
