my head hurts

it has been an....... (choose one of the following: horrific, stressful, emotional, tired, headachey, runny nosey)........ morning.
My grandpa died a little after 6:00 am (Eastern time). His wake is thursday and friday and the funeral is saturday morning.
My dad woke me up this morning to tell me about grandpa.
My mom woke me up at 11:00 this morning to tell me to make my decison. Here were my choices:
1- Pack up all my stuff and leave stl in a few hours, without saying goodbye to any of my friends or boyfriend, and go to Buffalo with my parents for the funeral. Then have my parents drive me back to cinci on sunday or fly back to cinci on sunday from buffalo.
2- stay home and go back to cinci on sunday as planned.

so basically, choose family or friends.

to sum up the next hour: i cried, and blew my nose, and then cried. got a gigantic headache, which impeded decision-making. wished i could go back to sleep..... called carolyn. cried. got a brilliant idea from carolyn. nick called, cried some more. took a shower. collected my thoughts. figured out my plan of action:
1- pitch carolyn's idea to the rent's. carolyn's idea being: fly up for the funeral on friday. so i get to stay in stl for a few more days and i get to be with my family.
2- if one fails, leave with my parents for buffalo in a few hours.

so i pitch the plan to my mom, and find out that the plane would cost about $450. Pricey, yes? But she likes the plan, because if i fly back to stl on saturday, i can still ride with sam to cinci and my mom and dad can stay in buffalo a few extra days. She has to talk to my dad about it (he was at work still, to come home in about an hour). my job now : pack.

so I pack. the majority of my stuff being packed, my mom calls me back downstairs. they have decided that carolyn's plan is what we are gonna do. (THANK YOU CAROLYN! YOU ARE A GENIUS AND I OWE YOU MY LIFE)

Final Plan of Action:
-Parents leave today to go to Buffalo.
-I fly to Buffalo on Friday - leaving stl at11:00 in the am. (Anyone wanna give me a ride to the airport? i will love you forever!!) I have a layover in cincinnati (how ironic is that?)
-I go to the wake on friday and the funeral on saturday.
-I fly back to stl on saturday - arriving in stl around 8:00 (Anyone wanna pick me up? I will love you for forever and a day!!!)
-I leave sunday to return to Cincinnati

So that was my morning. Now i have a humongous freaking headache. I think i may take a nap.
