Jen, I'm so sorry to hear your news. I'll definitely be holding good thoughts for you during the upcoming treatments.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I spent two hours in the bath.This sounds like bliss. I might do the exact same thing.
and let her know the contents of her wallet (except for cash and bus pass) were scattered all over his lawn...she's v. excited by that, even though it's kinda useless now.It's still nice that she won't have to stress about that any longer. I hope her injuries heal quickly and well.
"Dear Tupperware: You suck."Nothing can defeat the hungry kitty. Well, at least nothing that doesn't require opposable thumbs.
I have had a few moments of crying for lost people but am pretty much okay. Some massive bursts of organizing two rooms into things that stay, things that go to charity and things that go to people I know. The worst is still to come but I am making strides and might actually be technically prepared to move in a week. Maybe.
And I lit the place up with candles which always makes me happy. Also warm. Which is also good.
I also walked up to the corner market all happy because it is raining. Put on this magical coat that resists rain, a warm hat and traipsed up the street. Yep, ready for Portland.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Andi's reaction: "Dear Tupperware: You suck."
This was, of course, after I had quit laughing uproariously.

One thing I should admit out loud: Culling stuff down is a good, good thing even when it is hard to get rid of things. I have really got to remember that clutter doesn't make me happy.

Mostly lurking...
Oh, Jen, I'm so sorry. All the ~ma in the world headed your way.
I am awake. I do not want to be awake. I want to be sound asleep. Maybe in a few minutes I'll try again...

I have an intriguing conundrum. My hair is turning white at the temples, and I think it's damned cool. Well, it's salt-and-copper at the moment, but I can see the trend.
Conundrum: The rest of my hair is brownish-auburn, and I want to get it dyed a few shades lighter. But I don't want to lose the cool temple fading. Is this doable without taking out a load to pay for it? Don't suggest doing it myself, because I don't like using myself for a guinea pig.

move out and draw fire
Jen, I'm so sorry to hear that! But tons of health-ma for a successful and short chemo.
I explode glass and hibiscus tea in my kitchen
See, the sad thing is I knew viscerally what you really meant, because I blew up a glass pitcher myself a few years back. Right before a dinner party. While holding it and wearing my dressy party clothes.
But still somehow it said "baseball."
connie, I am not the hair color expert, but my white hair never takes dye, so you may be OK just to go for it.
