You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was feeling vaguely unwell and thought I might just go to bed, but I realized I hadn't had any fruit today, so I decided to go out back and pick some grapes.

Found a good couple of bunches [link] and noticed the pond was looking low, so I filled it up. So since I was doing that, I figured it would be a good time to recork the container water garden. And while that was filling I might as well pick some blackberries, which for several reasons I prefer to eat hot off the bushes rather than gathering a bucketful and making them into something. And the potted plants needed watering.

And now I feel much better. Huh.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Typo, that's awesome!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Look at the comments here: [link]

WTF?

And those comments have been there since last October. I flagged them, too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, people. Why so people??

My grandmother did die this evening, which was basically a good thing. I was afraid it was going to drag on. I just feel so bad for my aunt, who had surgery this morning, and probably has another week in the hospital. Also my cousin in DC who had a c-section two weeks ago, so who knows if she can come up. And my uncle/aunt/cousin who arrived in Florida for vacation last night and are now on their way home. Literally the worst timing ever.

Because books.

Oh, Jesse, I'm sorry. Like everyone said, it's always sudden and it's always hard.

Jesse, I hope that you and your family finds strength and peace. It's always hard.

Aw, Jesse. I'm glad it came as easily as possible, even if the timing sucks for the living. I'm glad you were able to have her in your life as long as you did.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

So very very sorry, Jesse.
