Separate post, because it deserves it: sincerest sorrow for you, Katerina B.
(I had my Mom as a single parent for about that long, come to think of it.)
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I like the idea of cremation, but I don't know where the ashes would go. Tossed off the Mackinaw Bridge, maybe?
In other news, a coworker who started about a month ago quit suddenly last week. Ok, mid-trial period, not every job suits every person. Fine. Well, I found out today that she'd sent an email to her manager explaining, in extreme detail, how awful all of us—my entire department—are. I was like, "We ate lunch together once? It seemed fine?" Anyhow, way to go from "best of luck with your future endeavors" to "bite my entire ass, bitca" in five seconds flat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm so sorry, Katie Bee.

Like what? Of the "only for left handed chemistry majors from New Jersey" kind of thing, or "only to be used for paying for sharpies for the staff" or?
Yes. I mean, not quite that bad, but yes. A lot of financial aid for only people from certain places or whatever.

The sellers did not get back to my realtor today about the requested repairs. They have 5 days, BUT COME ON, PEOPLE! I am not so much with the patience!

Our wings are not tired.
I'm so sorry, Katie Bee. I was in my 60s when I lost my mom. It doesn't matter how old we are, we are never ready. May your happy memories bring comfort.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm sorry, KB. My condolences.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Katie, I'm so sorry. Strength and comfort for those who loved him.
