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.
Oh, no, oh, no! Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord, spare me college boys in love.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That is tough. Take it easy on yourself.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm not sure what to say, Connie. Routine is both friend and foe sometimes. But platitudes also feel so empty, too.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I wish I wasn't July in Utah, I would like to wear mourning.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.

Lots and lots of ~ma, Connie.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Night shift, wandering through and adding my ~ma for the first day of former and new routine. No wisdom to offer, just withness.

Ann, that's a ferret.
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.

Our wings are not tired.
Ugh. I hope you find an option that feels right for you.
Yes, as much as it is a horror to lose your loved one with some advance warning, it is that much more to deal with the sudden unanticipated loss. All in all, either sucks mightily.
