Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Low-key NYE for us. We're having a few friends over to watch DVDs and stuff.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Suela, I'm very sorry about your dad. All good thoughts to you and your family.
6 big salt lamps?! Wow! I got one for my birthday and love it!
I'm dyeing my hair pink and purple ombre today for the New Year, then eating sushi and attending a friend's NYE party. Although I woke up with one eyeball sore and swollen, and am feeling rather Cuchulainn.

Thank you, everyone. He just sort of shut down over the last week or so, and spent the last few days clearly working very hard, but apparently unaware of us. I wasn't there when he passed, I had gone to work and was trying to do some financial management of his affairs when I got the call.
Two of my brothers had been able to see him the day before, and my oldest brother visited in November. Afterwards, my sister & brother & I took a nice long hike in the woods, on a trail we had taken Dad on (although only a little ways) on Father's Day. And then we went out for a big sushi dinner and toasted Dad with some good scotch. He would have appreciated the scotch, if not the sushi.
It was a hard few years, but he's at peace, and I don't have to twitch with worry every time my cell rings now. I'm off to help my sister clear the apartment and figure out what to do with his cds, books, old slide rules and whatnot...

Right, you can exhale now. Your family has taken on a lot of stress and responsibility over the last several years.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I feel like we should check with the rest of the world and make sure 2017 is actually starting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That sounds like a nice way to honor him and yourselves, Suela.

There is a hallmark store near me closing. If anyone collects their keepstake ornaments and wants something specific, let me know. Specifically they have many of the age ones if you needed some for future years for kids. Also saw some comic ones. Venom, super, cat woman. Also THUNDERCAT!!
