Susan, I'm so sorry. Peace to you and your family.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I just got the cutest picture of Oz curled up with the greyhound we're babysitting. OMGSOCUTEICOULDDIE!!
I'm sort of feeling all over the place and flaky. Stuff that I felt all gung ho about a month ago is starting to lose its lustre, and I'm finding new dreams and plans, but they're slightly tarnished by the fact that I had other dreams not too long ago. Back to school? Wait this thing out? Find something else entirely? I know in theory it's ok to not know what you want, even and maybe especially in your late 20s, but dude, I feel like one of those people who are always making huge plans and then deciding, no I want to make this other huge plan.
It should be said, because it really was a load off my mind today, that Mr. H was incredible to me this afternoon. I was really depressed about my all-over-the-placeness, and finding it hard to talk to him about it because I imagine it to be frustrating for him to have someone he's been really supportive of, thinking they had this plan, to go "You know what? Now I'm not so sure." But, he said it's ok, I can figure it out, not to give up on this just because it's been a couple of months, but doing something else entirely is ok too. Then I got a big hug.
I think I'm going to have a bagel, or maybe some string cheese...ooh or feta with olive oil.
ETA: My thoughts are with you Susan. I hadn't seen the beep me before this post. I know you've been in a state of anxiety, and I hope for peace for you and your family.

How are you holding up, Susan?
I hope he had an easy passing. Peace be with your family.

Because books.
Susan, I'm so sorry. I wish I could help in some practical way. I'm sending strength and peace vibes instead, to you and your family.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
How are you holding up, Susan?
Right now I'm fine because there are things to do. Dylan is finding us a flight (we're probably going Thursday and coming back Monday), and once I know that I can figure out what needs to happen between now and then, and I need to email and call various people.
VCOB called while I was literally in mid-sentence on my pages for the day of my WIP. The odd thing is that when it happened, I think I was writing a section that may or may not make the cut for the story where the heroine is reflecting upon her mother's death in childbirth.
