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.
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Very glad you are able to go, ita.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Lots of ~ma for ita !'s mom. (Did I punctuate that correctly?)
Saw my hemotologist today. New doc - very cute. Anyway, my iron levels are still good. Last iron infusion was last April. Nice that it is lasting a long time. Who knows when I'll need to get another one.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm glad you're able to go, ita. And I hope the car thing is as painless as possible - you don't need any more stress right now.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I hope I'll want to cry less when I'm there.
Realistically, you probably won't. And that's OK. The physical closeness makes up for the fact that the bad stuff is also right in your face. You will be around people who know how you like to be comforted and when, instead of trying to deal with it on your own.
Give yourself permission to cry if you need to. For me, it's incredibly cathartic. It's like I'm letting go of all of the stuff that will eat me from the inside otherwise.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Maria is wise. And you'll be there, with family, going through it together. It'll be better, even if it's worse.

And Liese says in one sentence what I tried to convey in 2 paragraphs.

ND is doing his best to make the car buying thing easy. I'm in good hands there. And so far, Geico has been remarkably efficient--they got my title sorted out in five minutes, and I'd given up on it years ago.
As for crying, it's not actually something I do in front of family. So that stress will be there. We'll see.
It'll be better, even if it's worse.
That makes an incredible amount of sense.
