And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is there a way for your kids to go to Eaglefest without you and Ethan? Could someone else take them?

The funeral is in a different state, and we don't have any close local friends because we suck at meeting people.

If I look at this weekend straight on, I feel like I'm facing a gorgon.

That is a lot. I hope Grace gives you a break, at least!

Because books.

Yikes, Kat, that's an awful lot of Not Good Things. I have no real advice, except to maybe meditate/drink heavily over the weekend, and hope Grace is feeling better when you get back?

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

meara, I can't ever do cough drops as I'm violently allergic to menthol and eucalyptus. Our local Haggen has a wall o' candy, where I find lemon drops tart enough that they help with sore throats and coughs, at least a little bit.

Mentho-lyptus makes me sick to my stomach as well. I find Wild Cherry Lifesavers soothe my throat a bit.

Kat, mucho-ma, in all it's many & varied forms, to deal with that crapton of stuff you're dealing with.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am so sorry Jessica That is a lot

It is also a lot for Kat. I was mad on your behalf about the obit, but didn't want to say something in a public lost that your family might be on.

I had emergency dental work today because one of my teeth fell apart. The dental urgent care was pretty great. I got the clean out the infection and put in a temp filling which was free. I have to call general dentistry to host a root canal and crown. We get a 10% discount at the dental center or the faculty group, plus insurance pAys 80% so hopefully this won't be too bad.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

My condolences, Jessica. Even when they're in their 90s and lived a good life before passing, it doesn't make the ache of missing them any less.

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

Ugh, Jessica. I'm sorry for your loss, and all of the subsequent changing of plans. I hope the new job will allow you to regain a more solid footing.

Kat, it's a whole pile of ridiculousness for you.

I was mad on your behalf about the obit, but didn't want to say something in a public lost that your family might be on.

Me too. I wasn't going to bring it up unless you opened the door. It's bullshit.

Sorry, Sophia. Dental work is just not fun.

Always Anti-fascist!

fuck, y'all.(another fragment to show punctuation is important) wish I had something more eloquent to say, but that is all such a lot. So sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, Jess and Kat! Good luck and I hope things go better than you expect.
