MM, I'm sorry for your loss.

Okay people, STOP DYING. Right now. I decree from now on, immortality for everyone. Also no sickness or poverty, and everybody gets a house with a unicorn in the backyard.

Because books.

Could we have someone to clean up the unicorn poop, too?

If unicorn poop doesn't clean itself up by turning into lavender-scented rainbows, I have been severely misinformed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm sorry, MM. Even when it's not unexpected, it can still be really sad.

Of course! What was I thinking.

I think unicorns (and pegasuses) are magical creatures that do not poop.
Relatedly, I always wondered how the pushmi-pullyu pooped.

I did get good news yesterday. The cancer diagnosis I mentioned (here or FB? Can't remember) is looking less dire after further testing. It's still going to be a rough rode, but the initial indications were that Things were Imminent. So that's huge.
(If I didn't mention here: not me. A very close family friend whose cancer diagnosis we learned on the Wednesday of ita week.)

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
My freezer has several pies' worth of blueberries that I picked last summer, waiting for me to pie them.
Not sure that they mail well, though. Sigh.
At least I can wish for (literal and/or figurative) sunshine for everyone.

I may have to seize the cat.
Love to all with losses and illnesses.
Things are moving in the direction of me getting the window-office. I'm oddly anxious about the whole thing. I think it's because right now, I'm in a suite with my graduate assistants, and I feel like once I'm in an office far from them, I won't see them anymore. They are, at this point, my only colleagues, so it will be very lonely never seeing them.
