I wish I lived closer, ita !, so I could drive you, or so you could punch me to relieve stress or something useful (I have a high pain threshold; just hit me in the arm or leg, please.)
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Much ~ma to ita's mom.
I didn't get the Netflix email. I feel rejected.

Because books.
I didn't either. But I had let my account expire, so.

I got this Netflix email, but I swear I never got the one about Qwickster

Art Crawl!!!
I got that one too - but after I'd heard all about Qwickster from everyone else.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I don't know how hittable I am these days, but in my karate days, the instructor had guys punch me to get used to the idea of hitting a girl. I'd happily be a target too.
All kinds of ~ma to you and your family, ita. It's hard, but the people who were helpful to me were ones who joked and teased me the way they always had, rather than the ones who suddenly started walking on eggshells.

Our wings are not tired.
Okay, so I have a ticket out tomorrow morning
I am sure it will be much easier when you are there. It totally sucks to be dealing with parent stuff remotely. Many wishes that you will find a good prognosis for your mother.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hope I'll want to cry less when I'm there.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ita, you will feel more informed, so that alone will likely make you feel a bit more in control.
