I'm sorry, Liese.
I'll be in my bunk.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Condolences, Liese. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts. I'm glad you could be there.
I get interrupted, get up for water, and go to the bathroom a lot.
Oh, my prescriptions are close enough that I don't bother changing glasses for those. I wander around my house with no correction at all sometimes, just to keep in practice. Sometimes it's relaxing not to be able to see very well.
What's the 20-20-20 thingy?
If I have what our safety guy said right, every twenty minutes, look at something at least 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. If you can, like, look past your monitor and gaze into the distance I think that works; if I look past my monitor I gaze into the corner of my cubicle which is maybe 4 ft away. Haven't figured out an easy way to do that right, yet.
Second floor plumbing! Roofing estimate! Excellent stuff.

The window that looks out over the valley is perfect for this. I just have to turn my head a little to get a view that extends for probably 20 miles or more.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yes, good. I'm about to do a marathon of computer work, this is a thing I need. I think I'll set a timer for twenty minutes. Stand up and stretch, look out the window for a bit.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Liese, I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. Much love to you.

My condolences, Liese.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, my prescriptions are close enough that I don't bother changing glasses for those.
I will try that! Glasses are weird.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Condolences, Liese. It sounds like a good life for an interesting man. I'm glad you were able to be there.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Liese, I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm glad you were able to be with your dad at the end.
After I hit "Post" I am going to look out the window at the house across the street for 20 seconds (it's easy to measure because the clock in the living room ticks loudly enough that the people in the aforementioned house across the street can probably hear it -- so, easy to count 20 seconds).
