Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh my god, Suzi, how sad and awful. I'm sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Suzi, how shocking and awful!

I decided on a "sick" day. I've attended two meetings, set up one, have another to go, and am awaiting a phone call from the CIO (I wanted her attention, I sure got some, but this wasn't how...).

Now I'm lying back down. After a nectarine.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

And on a happier note, Burrell, I am SO happy that your sister is doing better today! I've been thinking of you all week, and I will continue wishing her as much recovery as is possible.

Oh yes, most definitely this.

Nectarines are key in most things I do. For they are delicious and pretty.

Because books.

I have no nectarines. I do have pears, but it's not the same.

I'm sorry about your coworker, Suzi.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

It may be morbid, but I want to know what happened. But I really don't want to go into the office. I'll be there Tuesday and they also said they would let us know about the memorial service. My brain is flipping from car accident to heart attack to brutal murder to drug overdose (not that I ever considered her having drug issues) to who knows what.

Of course you want to know -- that' s just human nature.

ION, it annoys me SO MUCH when my boss makes a suggestion I think is bad. Because then I have to respond to it and hope she sees that it doesn't work, but then we have to have another go-round of editing. FFS. I like life way better when I just say what I want to say. Due to it being me saying it.

That's, like, my life's motto.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm sorry to hear about your coworker, Suzie.

It is indeed good news about my sister, although it demonstrated that we need to clarify a few things, such as how long she should be left not eating and unresponsive before we start to consider options like hospice.
