TJ's Maple Cookies are teh bomb!!! As much as I miss TJ's, I'd probably OD if I could get them on a frequent basis.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I can get a flight up and back to Long Island for $100 in less than a couple weeks.
I should do that, right? Cheaper than even driving would be more. And if I can't use it, I can transfer the funds.

I just feel ridiculous, after a decade of not getting up there, going up a lot. However, it isn't about me. So I need to shut up and book it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Sounds like a good idea, sara.
Eta: booking the trip, not the shutting up

You'd lose a lot of time driving, for one thing.

So I have a good friend coming into town tomorrow night. She's leaving her place at 4, and it will take her 5 hours to drive here.
In the meantime, my brother and his family called at 10:30 to say they are coming in town tomorrow AND I just realized that tomorrow is my brother's birthday. It's going to be a busy night. I really wish I could take Friday off, but I know that I am the only one in the office. And my boss insists on someone being there, in case of emergency. Like we've had a records management emergency ever.

Oh man. I'm TIRED. I've been teaching a course at UCLA to high school kids (Writing Before College) this week and I'll teach it next too. I am exhausted and it's only 4 hours of teaching. How am I going to survive the next school year?

Driving would be 5 hours estimated vs 3 door to door, so yeah. The thing that gives me pause, and is (I am sure) the reason dad even dithered for a moment until we shoved him over the cliff, is that maybe she'd rather have more time with the people she's closely shared her life with over the years, not have the prodigal relatives who have loved her but not kept close eating that up. But you know what? That's her call. And I'll let her make it.
eta: this dying shit SUCKS.
