Brazil Day 2

Was woken up at 8am to go to my great aunt's funeral. My mum, Wilson, Joao and I started to make our way to the small church where the funeral would be hosted. As Wilson drove along, I tried to catch some sleep but the roads were too bumpy and I was unable to do so. When we arrived, I noticed about 100 people there of about 3 people  I knew.. a couple of my aunts. My mum seemed more interested in seeing her other family members such as the, what seems like, thousands of cousins she has. I was introduced to several of them all of which either remember me when I was little (which I think is a lie, they were just trying to be friendly) or don't know me at all. Only a few of these people attending this ceremony seemed to be in mourning whereas the others were happily socialising with family members that hadn't seen in a long time.
It was very hot and I was in a blazer but I could not take it off because my tank top was 'too slutty for a funeral' said my mum... seeing as the clothes I was wearing was the same of the previous day, I felt a bit grim.

The ceremony was then carried to the graveyard but we did not go because... well I don't know so we left and had some sushi... which is great! Cannot go wrong with sushi; healthy and delicious.
Then Wilson took my mum and I home and I fell right into bed as I was completely shattered.
After a 2 hour sleep my mum woke me up and told me that we were going to her friend's house to chill by the pool and relax but all I honestly wanted to do was sleep in the bed I was in and do nothing all day.... so that's exactly what I did. My mum was not too happy but I did not give a rats ass. She said she would come back the following day.. So I had the apartment to myself as my godmother left to go to Mexico that morning for a week.

So for the rest of the day I was asleep. Just what I needed.
