We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Wow. Viking indeed. Thanks for sharing that photo, Connie.
Nora, after Tales will you have some time to let yourself fall apart a little? I do feel better today, having been able to sleep yesterday and go to the vigil.
I have decided not to try and come back for the funeral. I hate it, but her family knows I am there for the long haul. And I need to spend time with my family. So, decision made. Thanks for offers of driving, amyth and Zenkitty.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That's a wonderful photo, Connie.
I know it was a hard choice, smonster, but it sounds like the right one. Take care of yourself.
And you too, Nora. It's okay to not cope for a while, so be forgiving.

I love the photo, Connie!
smonster, it sounds like you made the right decision for you. It was so much more important that you were there for her when she was alive.
I got my hair done today. Not sure I like the color, but getting out was good. I feel better than yesterday. Now I'm trying to decide if I have enough spoons to tackle Trader Joes.

I think that's a good decision. You were there for the impromptu wake at Pete's the night it happened and the vigil - two very important opportunities to celebrate and grieve with everyone.
Tom started crying when he talked about the vigil. I'm really proud of him for going without me. He loves Kara so much.
I'm really glad there's a week between Tales and the funeral. I am hoping I can get my shit together enough to see if I can assist in the planning in any way next week.

I took TCG to the urgent care tonight because the pain was really bothering him. He is essentially really stressed and has tension in his neck that is causing pain. So muscle relaxants, pain medication, and heat unit he can see his doctor. And she strongly recommended a massage therapist at least once a month.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
sj, I hope all that helps, and that seeing someone at Urgent Care puts his mind at ease about the medication dose.
