I'm so sorry, Juliebird. That must be really hard to feel.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My sympathies, Juliebird. I think all your feelings are understandable.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, Juliebird, I'm so sorry, for you and your family. I hope you can all come together and heal.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm so sorry, Juliebird, wishing your family peace and strength.
Grief is never a straight road, but it is always rougher when there are lots of unresolved feelings. Please be gentle and forgiving with yourself, and with those you love when you can.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm sorry Juliebird. Burrell and others have wiser words than I.

I'm sorry, Juliebird. Hope you can all find peace.
So the online pool schedule is wrong (shocker) and the next session is at 5, not 4. I thought about walking around the park for an hr&half, but decided it was a bit warm for that. Back over in a bit.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm so sorry, Juliebird. I hope you and your family are able to find peace together.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Condolences, juliebird. You are totally allowed to be angry and sad and anything else you need to be.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I am so sorry, Juliebird. I wish you and your parents all possible peace. And your anger is appropriate and necessary. Vibes to all of you as you get through the immediate aftermath and all the tasks that need doing.

Made up some ham/cheese/pasta salad, with added olives. Initial taste test is good, it's in the fridge becoming one with itself. I think I'm going to add a touch of mustard with the next batch for a touch more flavor. I cooked too much pasta for the bowl I'd mixed everything else in, so I had to scrounge up another bowl for a cheese and pasta variant.
In addition, the kitchen now works the way I need it to, with the tools I want to use and almost the room I want to work with. I was even able to wash up what dishes were there while I waited for the pasta to cook.
