Well, my estranged uncle (my mom's alcoholic older brother) died about a week ago from throat cancer. Since my cousin didn't even want us to know, I'm guessing we're not invited to any services. I don't know how to feel about it other than to feel sad for my mom. I guess it's good that I'm flying out tomorrow for a planned visit.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

I'm sorry, shrift. Those are hard deaths to react to. However you feel is right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What -t said, shrift. It will be good to be with your mom, I think.
ION, I just realized why I've been out of sorts all day: I didn't sleep well. It wasn't like catastrophic insomnia, just didn't sleep well. I have so much admiration for people who can function without enough sleep!

Also I just told someone that "Jesse and I's" is incorrect, and she said the language is changing! Yikes.

Well, if someone is named I, and you shared something with them...
That would be a very confusing name.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
The language is not changing that much.

Because books.
Please, no. Just no.

Oh, I took "the language is changing" to mean someone thought "Jesse and I's" used to be correct but that must have changed. That now seems like a peculiar reading of the text.

Thanks, y'all. It's a lot of emotional baggage.
