Strix, it's so hard. Lots of hugs.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Our wings are not tired.
{{Strix}} Rough stuff for sure.
I guess I could pay myself for doing onerous tasks and have that go in a vacation fund.
Nice! I like that plan.
Home in total chill mode. Watched a Queen concert on MTVLive from '82. Kids are making homemade pizza and cookies. Dog is so very happy to have me here. Loved getting away, and needed it, but at the same time; there's no place like home.

Well, this is it. Dad can't swallow any meds, food, or water. So it's just a matter of time. My oldest brother is laid up with a bum leg after knee surgery a week or two ago, and the middle one is on a ski trip with his family; neither are likely to get here before he passes, but my younger brother lives in SJ and he will probably come up tomorrow.
Happily, my boss is totally cool about taking time for family issues (he lost both his parents within the space of a year, last year). Sister & I will be taking shifts, but we also have very good round-the-clock care; Dad won't be alone.
Goddamnit 2016, anyway.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, Consuela. It's hard.

Oh, Suela. I'm so sorry. I hope you and your family can find some comfort in the days ahead.
