Good thoughts and comfort to BC and his family.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm just thankful that I got to see him on Sunday. I'm also somewhat glad that it didn't have the aura of a final visit, we were making plans to see him again in a week, and some more visits after that.
That's really good to read.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Laura, my condolences. Cancer is the devil.
Pix and Drew, yes, thank you for giving us all the opportunity to know him.

Drew and Pix, you have been on my mind a lot as I thought of BC. Thank you for your visits, and thank you for notifying us on his status.
I... I just keep typing and deleting because everything I type don't feel like the right words. I want to write about BC, how lucky and grateful I am to have met him, and how much light he brings to this world. So much light, that he is just bloody brilliant. I feel like I learned so much just by reading his posts and interacting with him. And his approach to life, illness, and death is illuminating. Honestly, I am now just (partly) trying to understand how can I bring more of his perspective to my life and the world around me.
My core belief is that there is no afterlife, but if there's a heaven, BC belongs there, 100%. With a Fluffy for naps.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Now I'm on the couch, and I thought the dog could leap up, but she was just hovering by my feet, frustrated that I did not understand the routine she usually has with my father. She stands by feet, she gets picked up, she settles in next to you in the crease between the two cushions.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
How's your back, Dana?
My deepest condolences to all who have lost a pet recently. I had to put Lucky the cat down on Friday. Her CKD was being managed well, but she had two neurological episodes in less than 24 hours. They did bloodwork, and found that she was severely anemic, calling it life-threatening. No indication for the cause, and they said it probably wouldn't be treatable either. Rather than let her quality of life decline any further, we made the decision to let her go. I miss her every damned day.

Ann, that's a ferret.
All condolences, Maria.

Damn that sucks about BC. Even if it's not unexpected.

Sorry about Lucky, Maria.

My back is not miraculously better, but I think it's in pretty good shape considering yesterday's shenanigans, which involved me doing more lifting of luggage than I would have liked.
