Well, she said through her tears that she knows it's what I want to do, but it's just so far. And I told her it was fine to be sad, that I understood. It will be fine.
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I'm so happy things are coming together for you, smonster. I'm sorry your mom is sad about it but I hope she'll adjust.

Aw. Definitely better than "all righty then, good luck with you!"
It's hard, I still have the guilt from my mom. Plus my grandma's health went downhill shortly after I left, so my guilt is thusly multiplied. On the whole though, I'm 1000% pleased with our decision.

You know, amazingly for me? I felt no guilt. Just sadness and compassion. Fucking miracle, that is.

So, hivemind, my hair is practically striped, it's been so long since I dyed it, and I'm thinking about returning to black. Perhaps with henna. Any thoughts/advice on using henna for hair dying purposes.

I've used henna, but only for red highlights. Can't speak to its blackening abilities...
Feel bad for my mom. She's downstairs going through boxes of stuff from her mom's estate. Which things go to whom. Which get sold, etc. She's so exhausted. My grandma got sick at the end of May and was in the hospital 'til she died in late July. Then funeral in August, estate stuff ever since. In the middle of all this, my house closed in mid-July and I moved in then. It's been a really tough year on everyone.
I'll be helping her with trying to get some of the stuff up on Ebay, Craig's List or Etsy, whichever I think it'll sell best on. I've never done Etsy before so I'm not sure how best to sell there but some of the vintage kitchen stuff and the designer purses and outfits will sell better there than anywhere else, I think. (Etsy is still about handmade stuff in my mind but I've seen so many Etsy stores that are selling stuff you'd find in a vintage store that I guess it's ok.) In my hands now are some beautiful hand-hammered aluminum things. The serving dish is in an incredibly tasteful floral/botanical pattern. This stuff was made in Western PA at a forge that is still in business. That's where my mom's folks hail from. The Shenango dishes I have (which I'm keeping) were made in a factory where my great-aunt worked painting them. It's a kind of history my family doesn't have a lot of. We don't have many heirlooms. But there's something cool about these regional items that were new when they were bought but are vintage now and reminders of where they come from.
