{{{{Cass}}}} You are doing such a wonderful thing, being there for him and the rest of the family right now. No one would expect that to be peachy. Nice that yr unpacked tho! I just finished unpacking my last box last week. Seriously, how many years have I been in this house??

I know it's so hard, Cass. But I'm glad you're getting to spend this time with him. Thinking about you.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

By chance, how well does your place keep out the weather? Is it drafty? Are the windows single pane, and you can feel the outside temperature?
This house was built in 1890. It's incredibly drafty, the windows are all single pane, and during the winter, I put up insulated curtains on the big windows, but it's still freezing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, Cass, it's so hard, isn't it?
It really is. But it's exactly why I moved here. It would be unbearably hard to not be here.
Actually my Dad even said he was really happy that I had moved. It was on Friday which was a really hard day for him and it was out of the blue. I managed to not completely cry. I am never forgetting that moment.

Oh, if I even pause in unpacking, I tend to stop. That's why it has to be done now. Honestly, some old pictures are boxed and staying that way. I labeled the boxes with the year when I packed them. Clearly I knew they were going to be stored, not unpacked.
And the nicer and more mine I make this place, the better.

I'd venture to guess the insulation in the walls is nil or next to nil. If you can insulate for weather, the noise transmission will decrease greatly.

Oh. I'm so glad. And I'm so sorry about the slow loss you are going through. {{Cass}} Thank you for sharing with us.
Also, {{Scrappy}} Many thoughts for you and your wonderful kick ass mom and your family.
We have been Buffista-ing up New Orleans this weekend, though sadly, Aims will be leaving us in the morning. Everyone should have an Aims visit, it's so awesome!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Awwwwww! I have been having a great time. I really, really needed this getaway and Nora, Tom, and smonster have been fabulous.
Cass, I am so sorry. I am glad you and your dad got to have that moment, but how difficult for you, love. I wish there was more I could say.
Scrappy, so much ma for your mom and your family. I am glad you were able to be there with her.
I miss Joe and Em like crazy, but damn I do not want to get back to real life. There is still food here to eat!!!

Love those moments, Cass, wallow in them as much as you can.
