As long as she doesn't linger in pain, there are so many worse ways for this to have played out.
Yep. Good luck to you both.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
thought the gods wanted this for me earlier but then Puppycat threw up under the bed. Alrighty then. Up.
At least it wasn't on the bed?
Telling people at work that I've adopted "but I don't wanna" as my theme for the week probably wouldn't be a good career move, would it?

Because books.

I was going to say that!

If you're a diva, I think it's your whole raison d'etre.

I'm sorry, Frank. I hope you can have a peaceful time together, however briefly.

I'm sorry, Frank, and I hope you have some good final conversations. Please be adamant about painkillers for her if necessary.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
At least it wasn't on the bed?
Excellent point.

Probably not. But it sounds tempting anyway.

I sort of feel like I might be getting sick, and on the one hand, I don't want to be sick, but on the other hand, a sick day sounds delicious. Maybe I can have both!

Hah--Jesse, when I dare that, what inevitably happens is I think "ooh, I'll call in sick, and chill, and prevent getting worse, because I feel a bit sickly!" and then instead, I just feel awful a couple days later, but feel like I already burned a sick day when I wasn't feeling awful and what a waste! I hate that.
Of course, working from home I now just feel guilty anyway if I'm home and not working--good if I"m only a little sick, bad if I want to take a day off.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I woke up with food poisoning this morning, after missing two days in the office last week with a migraine. I want to destroy the world.
