Aimee, I'm so sorry for your loss. I thought about the multiple generation photo too and was happy you were able to do that. I'm guessing it's something your daughter will always treasure.
DJ, I think you have a good plan. And I think you're totally right about how your relationship with your Mimi was the foundation for all the strong friendships you have to support you now. that is a wonderful thing.
Aimée, DJ, I am so sorry for both your losses.
{{{Aimee}}} I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry, DJ and Aimée.
Who got a good night's sleep last night? Raise your hand so I can resent you.
I initially fell asleep in the chair in my living room, and woke with a sore neck, and went to bed. I then got a goodish night's sleep, but woke with an anxiety dream revolving around me reading the package insert on my prescription nasal spray (which I'm not even using right now), and seeing that it was likely to cause a heart attack in my sleep.
Do I pass muster?
I slept well, due to two Darvocet. However, mornings are never fun because I wake to all my painkillers worn off and so it's Good Morning--ow.

Me. I slept so well I missed my alarm. My contract manager woke me up when she called me at 5:45am (when I'm normally on the road to work) to see if I would stop at Starbucks (not an uncommon thing). Yes, I did stop. Figured I needed the kick-start.

Why do you even go to that chair at night? That chair should have a sign on it saying, "I am here to fuck up Cindy's neck." Pfft. No resentment.

I can't resent
you.
Even when you're not recovering from surgery.

Aha! Glam On! Resentment On!
