So all this Prince outpouring stuff is just bringing to the fore that we, as a family, haven't been able to properly mourn my uncle or really unpack any of it, tied up in my aunt's recovery. And I'm finding myself resenting everything (except my family) for that. It just is what is.

And I realized I never installed the OS X upgrade back in October, and there's an update, so I have to download the whole damn package again.

Oooops: [link]

Liese, wow, that's a huge transition. Sounds like you both know it's time. I hope it's a relatively smooth and easy move into the rest of your wonderful lives!

Prince, I'm just gonna keep believing it was pneumonia.

Liese, I hope the changes and move go smoothly.

Bowie was a bigger part of my history than Prince, but Prince was still pretty big. I'm sad he's gone, whatever the reason.

Liese, that is huge! And exciting! I'm glad you and the SO have made a decision that feels right for you. And potentially moving to Nashville!! Although we have humidity like whoa.

Love to you, Liese.

Oh, wow, Liese. It sounds like you two are doing a lot to make it a smooth transition for yourselves and other people, and that's great. And mailing labels causing a meltdown is, yeah, I can see that. Hugs and love, my friend.

I hope Lee is going to get her VW bought back.

From what I heard on the radio driving home from the grocery store, that's the general deal (plus some money for the trouble) so I hope that gets settled soon!

and now it is being reported it was drug related.

I feel super confident that that is speculation and, frankly, discount it entirely. Well, not entirely, pneumonia is rarely the whole story, but I'm not gonna know the whole story and this particular piece does not add much of importance to my understanding.

I'm sorry, sarameg. That makes sense and it sucks for all of you.

That's exciting and scary, Liese. And exciting!!!

I'm sorry, sarameg, that must be really hard.

Liese, much love to you on the transition. It's gotta be so emotionally heavy.
