Ugh Nora that sucks. I'm so glad he's fine.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
I'm just at the point where I'm afraid I'm just going to start laughing hysterically at the funeral or when something else goes wrong.
Like, tomorrow there's supposed to be a "wintry mix" storm and what if someone driving to the wake gets in an accident? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! Get it? Because my uncle died in a horrible car accident! Oh, that'd be rich.
Seriously, I think I'm losing it. But, shhh. I have to be strong.
And don't get me started about how my MIL's caretaker quit this week.
Seriously, if it weren't happening to me, I'd totally be suspecting me of drama queenitude.

Our wings are not tired.
Nora, you're keeping it very together for all that's going on! And whoohoo on a great haircut.
But YAY you'll be in DC while I am!!!
I am???!!!! We have to meet. I didn't realize our dates overlap.
I am so totally bummed that I am not in LA at K&D's. However, I hope to get my ass to LA in January.

Yay clippers!
And it is totally normal to develop a morbid sense of humor while grieving. Whatever you're feeling is OK and part of the natural grieving process. Don't try to tell yourself that anything you're feeling is not OK.

I'm getting the pig!
Nora, honey, I'm so sorry that the Universe is being a dick and trying to crowd all of the crap stuff into the last month of the year for you.
{{{{{Nora}}}} I'm glad your dad is ok. And YAY for good haircuts.

This. (We won't discuss the part where I have a morbid sense of humor all of the time, though.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm afraid I'm just going to start laughing hysterically at the funeral or when something else goes wrong.
Coupling's episode with the giggle loop is one of my least favourite, and the giggle loop language is about the weakest, but it remains all too powerfully true that the urge to laugh at the absolute "worst" times can be not only infectious but self-fueled.
You will be strong though. It won't be fun, or even satisfying, but you will be strong. Even if you indulge in some internal inappropriate hysterics.
