My mom passed away this morning
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Attention SoCal theater peeps - my sister's incredible original musical will have its world premiere in La Jolla next Feb!!! [link]
The talent attached to this show is BANANAS, and the workshop previews I've seen have been amazing. The music is SO GOOD and the book is SO GOOD. So like, if you live near there, go see it.

Hi all. I wanted to let you know that Nilly's mother passed away on Friday. It was very quick.

If everyone is done with the healthy-skin-ma, Mom could use some...she is getting a biopsy of a thing on her hand. She got one before and it was nothing, but it's hard not to be a little concerned.

I’m sorry I haven’t been here in forever, but I wanted to let you know that Norah passed away earlier this week. Cody wanted you to know how important the Buffistas have been to her, and to him. There will be services after the holidays, but no date has been set yet.
ETA: At Cody’s request, please don’t mention this on Facebook.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Tim's follow-up post-treatment PET scan is tomorrow morning. Fortunately we don't have to wait long for the results, because he has an appointment with the oncologists tomorrow afternoon to go over the results. Please send all the good vibes his way. And all the fuck-you-cancer vibes, too.

It's been so long, but I think about all of you all the time.
I'm dipping in with a ~ma request for Cagney. He is in hospital and, well...
I will no let him suffer like Bartleby did. While I am hoping for more time, I will not be greedy for one more day that he cannot give me without pain.
Please. Just gentle, right outcomes, whatever our fate.
In two months, it will have been 14 years. A triumph no matter what.
