I can't think of a better valedictory.
I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

Yay for getting to see loved ones before you pass. I would hope for that.
Oh wait, need to count a few blessings: 1) kids have been very affectionate and snuggly, 2) best husband on Earth.
Aw. Yay kids and hubby.
In completely other news...I finished my dress! It took me about 20-ish hours, and probably half that time was spent seam-ripping, but I have a dress! That can in theory be worn! I think I'm going to take it on my trip this week, but I'm a little worried I'll put it on and realize there's magically a gaping hole, or it exposes my belly or something. So I'll probably bring backup. But still! Now I want to make it again, now that I know better how to do it. Though I don't really need two dresses in that same pattern/style, but whatever.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I just feel so bad for her. It's such an ugly way to go. But there is some grace there too. She is getting to bask in a lot of love right now. Many of the folks she pushed away over the years are coming now to see her. It's touching, and sad, and kind of beautiful.
Honestly, I sometimes think that's "why" we die - to heal a thousand other wounds.

I'm so sorry, Burrell.

Burrell, I'm sorry. Getting some accommodation from work sounds like a great idea.
Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone!

Burrell, your strength through this has been amazing. And here's the picture Casper drew of us as manga: [link] (I have no idea why I have long brown hair.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha!

I have a sparkly multicolored zigzag line in my upper right field of vision. This is ... weird, in a festive sort of way. (I've never had a migraine, which was my first thought, and am feeling fine otherwise. It's not a stroke or anything, right?)
