I'm sorry, Tep. Lang~ma.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sj I'm sorry about this and that you are having to comfort people.
Steph sorry about your aunt.
My family. I love them but our communication skills are not good and we all avoid. My parents are divorced for a reason and they've been spending close to their limit together at the beach.
Dad just blew up at Mom because she was asking my nephew if he was okay in the bathroom (my nephew is almost 6) and if he wanted a shower or bath. Dad got upset because she wasn't repeating my nephew's privacy. Also he's fairly deaf and won't wear hearing aids so I think he missed the part about the shower.
Then mom got upset and I said that everyone needed sometime in separate rooms not seeing it hearing each other (mostly because that is what I need when I get like this).
Also mom was frustrated because dad was "making a fuss" about having stuff for dinner for my brother and his GF when they get in tonight. No me as thinking they wouldn't get in until 9 PM and eat on their way. Dad was expecting them around 6. After checking in they won't get in until 9. But Dad feels it doesn't matter there should be food here and ready for them.
Plus there is other stuff going on.
BUT we we to Wakulla Springs and played in the spring. I did mostly jumping off the platforms but not the really high one. But I thought about it. I didn't even think the water was cold.

askye, have you read Wakulla Springs? I think you'd especially appreciate it, having been there yourself.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My aunt did pass away today. As it turns out, I got the order of things wrong, not that it really matters. She had double knee replacement surgery Wednesday (apparently her cardiologist recommended she *not* have the surgery), and she went into heart failure today. My dad is currently just really angry that she had the surgery against her cardiologist's recommendation. Man.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ugh, that's rough, Steph. My sympathies.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm sorry, Steph. And for your dad especially.
sj, thinking of you and TCG during a very stressful and private time. I'm glad you trusted us.
