Jesse wins! I'm here wondering if the plague is the next sign of the apocalypse. Ick.
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

Let's see, the sky going black in the middle of the day, fire (or lightning) from heaven, earthquakes--any sign of the locusts yet?

Oof. Sister was driving me and her cars to her office and I had to make her pull over so I could puke in the street. Joy.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry for your loss, Matt.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
That sucks, meara. I hope you feel better soon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If going home straight at 5 and sticking to the sofa is winning, then YES I AM!!

Feel better soon, meara!
The sole of one of my dress shoes twisted loose as I was leaving the graveyard this afternoon and ultimately fell off during the drive home. My deceased friend was infamous for breaking things accidentally wherever he went (we sometimes called him "Techno-Destructo" as a nickname), so it was hilariously appropriate that it picked that moment to fall apart.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
A fond farewell, maybe, Matt.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Aww, that's kinda awesome, in a way! I'm sorry for your loss, Matt, but I'm glad you're able to remember him in this sort of way.
Hope you feel better soon, meara!
Yeah, this one is super scary. There was a graphic showing the relative size to Andrew and I was shocked. They said the eye itself is twenty miles wide. I had no idea of the scale.

Our wings are not tired.
That is delightfully appropriate, Matt. Glad he was able to bring a smile of memory for you.
{{meara}} hope the body settles quickly
DH is in GA at this point. I think he is just resting from time to time in rest stops for now. Has had zero traffic issues. Pedal to the metal with enforcement having better things to do.
My sister and brother are mind blowingly frustrating, but I have to let it go. They are staying in my sister's non-boarded up house in a mandatory evacuation zone. Cops driving down the street with bullhorns telling them to get the hell out. Looking at a direct hit. Step-dad is super Zen about it, which I think is part of the priority shift of the recently widowed. His home is a manufactured home and he expects it may well be lost. He had my brother grab the pictures from the walls and some papers from his file cabinet to take over to sister's more substantial house with him. . He told me he has 30 years of memories with my mom in that house, but no storm can take the memories, the rest is just stuff.
Kids are hunkered down in reasonable locations with supplies and plans in place. Lots of other relatives staying. Grateful once again for DH relieving my worries and leaving. So he will be here enjoying the fall leaves with me!
