... just realized I accidentally scheduled my doctor's appointment for when I'm going to be in NYC. I fail at calendars. Okay, calling back. UGH.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have pretty much cleaned out my office, and have just one email I would still send.

Because books.
Not long now, Jesse! Have you said all your good-byes?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Brenda and shrift, I heard on the radio this morning that the S. African consulate (200 S. Michigan) has a condolence book that anyone can go in and sign through next week.

All right. Dentist, doctor, and optometrist all scheduled, and here's hoping they are on the days I think they are. I'll worry about getting a haircut later.
Are you leaving early, Jesse? I thought that was a prerogative of last days.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
Sometimes it's the little things that make my day. I just corrected an article proof that refers to the "Department of Psychological and BRIAN Sciences." Now, it *could* be the most specialized department on the planet, and only studies the psychology of dudes named Brian, but I'm thinking maybe some letters got transposed...

There are a few Brians it would be worth looking into, I bet.

We often call my cousin Brian "brain."
I have said all of my good-byes, and would leave early, except I am going to a party at my coworker's house (planned before I gave notice) and am getting a ride straight there at 5:30.
