We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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

Relatedly, I have got to clear out my spare room this weekend, and I think most of the stuff in there is still my grandmother's.

I hope it's all stuff that's easy to sort and throw out or donate. Sentimental items can be tricky.

I am pretty sure the epidural is outpatient, ita. My cousin's wife has had several, so I can ask her. She's coming up with Bob this afternoon, which I take as a sign that's she's feeling well these days as the 2 hour drive can be hard if her back is in pain.

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

I can't stop thinking about mortality these days. Another childhood friend's parent died--I was considering going back for the service but then it became all about my disc. My parents, their wishes, their deaths, their things, dealing, not dealing...

I'm sorry ita, that's rough. My condolences.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hope it's all stuff that's easy to sort and throw out or donate.

I'm afraid I dealt with that level of stuff already, but literally have no idea, as I have been ignoring it all for six months!

My parents, their wishes, their deaths, their things, dealing, not dealing...

Uh huh.

Yeah, we're right at that age--too young to say out loud you're thinking about your own, but old enough you're feeling surrounded.

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

My parents said we were gonna discuss estate-type stuff while my siblings were around, but we never did. Oops. Oh well, I know they have plans in place and have a vague idea what they are. With luck it won't be an issue for a while yet...

I read this [link] wrong the first time and thought the guy said he was offering to drive drunk. But no--drive drunk people. And he helped a DUI driver confess and see justice, and tangentially led me to this site [link] where you can get "because I said I would" promise cards you can fill in, which I think is very interesting. I need more and more to keep me committed to anything, really. There's a lot of pointlessness going around.

It is my anniversary today, which means it is also JZ's birthday, I think! Happy birthday JZ!

Ten years, right? (TEN YEARS??????????)

Happy anniversary, Sparky! Happy birthday, JZ!

I once again want to strangle ita's doctors.

I'm getting a transfusion. In response to a standard checklist of symptoms (Any nausea or vomiting? Any flu-like symptoms? Have your medications changed? etc.), the woman behind me did a five-minute disquisition on how scrambled eggs made her nauseated, but not egg salad or any of a long list of egg-containing foods, so she thought that it couldn't be an allergy to eggs but maybe to the butter. Then she tried to get the nurse to diagnose a skin problem.
