tommy, that is really sad. I'm sorry. I hope he comes around eventually.

I'm thankful that my family's funeral proceedings have been drama-free except for the time we had to make it clear to an uncle's new girlfriend that she was NOT considered family like the ex wife of a quarter century who'd had two kids with the deceased.

Bandage is off, right lens is out of the glasses, I can't believe how well I see out of that eye. The two eyes haven't synched quite up yet, so there's a borderline headache. I'm sure they'll adjust just in time for the next surgery.
I can see the computer screen from my desk chair! But I can't see the tablet very well at arms length, so I will need reading glasses. That's going to be annoying, because for years I've just read books at 4 inches from my face in bed. Oh, well.
And best wishes to all the families.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That's so hard tommyrot. I wonder if his behavior might be connected to your mother's illness as well as your father's passing. IME grief can take all sorts of forms, including things we don't think of as grief, like anger, lashing out at loved ones, rejection, bitter jealousy. I'm sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm glad that the various family funerals (and it seems like there have been a lot of them lately) have been drama-free, aside from the general stress involved with the logistics. I know even that has been a load on my parents and their siblings.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Also thankful that there is virtually no drama in my family. It could be significant with a single mom with minority's child, gay marriage, pregnancy before marriage. But nope. All but one of my aunts and uncles are super cool and my cousins are awesome.
Ion, I almost over drew my checking account. Stupid over spending along with 2 big checks from dec and jan hitting at once. I must stop spending money.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
All of the shoes I wear outside the house are black. Not that many color choices for shoes in my size.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

We may not have an apocalyptic winter, but we are weak down here and our roads (and drivers) can only handle so much.
This former New Englander says that although it's not 8 feet in, what, 2 months? 8-12 inches is nothing to apologize for. That's pretty significant snowfall. Be careful out there.
