Much love to you, ND. I know it's so hard, and I am so glad to hear about who your dad was as a person.
Gunn: You saying popping mama threw you a beating? Lorne: Kid Vicious did the heavy lifting. Cordy just mwah-ha-ha'd at us.
'Underneath'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Thank you again.
I actually managed to get some sleep last night, eventually.
Still teary today. I guess it'll take time.

The status is NOT quo.
On the way back to my cabin a few tears shed missing my dad. Still a bit red eyed and weepy. He was a great guy with faults, and with a great sense of humor. I think what I'm missing is the plans I had in my head to hang out with him as he became an old man. He wasn't perfect by far, and I had plenty of clashes with him, but in the end he did right by me, and I miss in ways that physically hurt.
Oh sweetheart. Dammit, I want to be there. I'm glad you had good people to toast him tonight. Love you.
ETA: At least I'll finally be able to actually talk to you again tomorrow, albeit on the phone. I know it isn't much, but it's something.

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.
{{{{Shir}}}} I'm sorry for your loss. Goodnight sweet Lou, a flight of angels wing thee to thy rest.

All is well that ends in pizza.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
{{Shir}} What a lovely dog, Lou was. Give an extra hug to your father, because it sounds like you ate in the sam place despite your differences. and one extra one for your sister. She took charge which gave you space. Matt sends love and peace ma ~~~ your way, too.

Sigh. It's midnight, the movers are supposed to be here at 9AM, and I am nowhere near packed. As of right now, my plan is to tell them "ignore everything in a closet". I fear that'll take me forever to move after they're done, but at least it'll be POSSIBLE for me to move everything in closets (but seriously...I have a lot of closet space. It's going to take a LOT of car trips. Eek.)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I fear Meara is living my near future. Only I can't do car loads between the two places. Yikes. Ya. I should be packing. Alas, I'm sitting on my ass watching tv.

I have 5 boxes packed. Not including the boxes that never got unpacked from last move. Movers don't come for another 9 days. It's a small apartment... ok, I'll pack something tonight.
