Shir, I'm so sorry for what you and your city are going through, and I'm glad you're staying safe.
Connie, you continue to be in my thoughts.
We're home from Mom's. The ride home took much longer than usual because of the holiday weekend. I'm tired but up late enjoying the quiet of my own home and reading.
So back to the routine tomorrow. This is going to be hard. The yawning hole in my life will be emphasized. New routines are going to have to be made. I wish I wasn't July in Utah, I would like to wear mourning.
That is tough. Take it easy on yourself.
I'm not sure what to say, Connie. Routine is both friend and foe sometimes. But platitudes also feel so empty, too.

Could you do a black armband? Or it that only for guys? Tons of coping ~ma.
SJ, how are you doing over there?
Shir, stay safe.
In meme news, day three of wedding parties is done. We are well rehearsed. And had a yummy rehearsal dinner at one of the finest pizza joints in the country! [link]
I've tried on the suit again. Looking pretty good! Three piece suit with lovely cowboy boots! The script is ready to go. Practiced it a couple times as well. I think I'm ready for the big day. Let the festivities begin.
was it dates that y'all were wanting recipes a lil while back? Smithsonian has an article on best recipes for dates:

Lots and lots of ~ma, Connie.
Night shift, wandering through and adding my ~ma for the first day of former and new routine. No wisdom to offer, just withness.
All condolences, Connie. Right now is for taking care of yourself, no apologies.
So it turns out the lease payment is going towards funeral-type expenses after all, just as I feared. The body donor program can't take him due to his condition. Fortunately I do have the money, I'll just have to save up the rest towards the cataract surgery later.
I pity the bereaved who have no warning, who have no chance to rehearse, to plan contingencies for coping. It can suck to be strong, to have to carry others, but it's better than being a helpless lump on the floor.
