What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I was really lazy today and I bought some already grilled chicked at the deli to go with the pesto pasta I am making for dinner. What's the best way to heat it up before adding it to the pasta?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Susan, I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Slice and toss it into a skillet.

I read that as "From flies" and thought, yeah, I can see the resulting solitude.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Thanks, everyone.

It's just strange. I think I've known this was coming for long enough that it's a gradual grieving process--it's almost a relief that the agonizing wait is over. I was already mourning that I couldn't talk to him in quite the same way anymore, that I'd never be able to buy him books or his favorite candy for his birthday or Father's Day, that Annabel won't remember him, that any future child we might have won't meet him, that I didn't manage to become published in his lifetime, etc. None of that is any different than it was yesterday or a week ago. I expect it'll continue to hit me at odd moments for a long time, and in between I'll just keep living my life.

DH found us a flight. We're flying out Thursday morning. We probably could've done tomorrow, but this will allow us more wiggle room and keep us from pulling a near all-nighter to get out the door. If the current plan stands, we'll have to essentially go straight from the airport to the viewing with barely time to change, but we'll manage.

I have a list, and I'm going through it. I don't know what it says about me that lists are a tremendous comfort at these times, but they are.
