The ashes of my in-laws' beloved teacup poodle were buried with my FIL. It seemed weird, but that man adored that little creature. Its name was Cuddles. My FIL was in the Navy in Korea and Nam and went off with the Special Forces when he was bored, but the greatest love of his life after my MIL was a teacup poodle.

Really sorry, KB.
Got hit will a bad headache and nosebleed at work. Unfortunate timing as I need to get and put in a new mailbox since someone played mailbox baseball on our street last night. Guess that's still a thing.

Yikes, Gud! Could the two things be connected?

I'm sorry, Katie B. It really sucks realizing that such a big part of your life is gone.
My folks were cremated, and Mom's box sat in my closet until Dad died, and then we paid for a spot in the local cathedral columbarium. However my sister stopped by recently and said they still haven't engraved the names on the front of the niche. I need to double-check and then make some calls.

I'm sorry for your losses, Katerina Bee and Theodosia.
Gud, please take care of yourself.

My nosebleed-inducing superpowers mostly seem to be giving myself headaches.
We do have a new mailbox now and at least it's a lot nicer looking that the old one. Interestingly, it opens at both which would be nice for getting mail without having to go out into the street, but in our yard there's a ditch right behind it so it's not a practical. Good idea though.

Yikes, DX. Stay safe.
Gud, please take care of yourself.
KB and Theo, I'm so very sorry for your losses.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Gronk. I stupidly scheduled a conference call for 6 am, which I made and it went fine and is done but now I am at the office and unable to take a nap as I so desperately want to do.
That'll teach me. You would think, anyway.

I spent my morning so far making onerous phone calls that I was putting off til after vacation was over. It's extra fun because I'm not sleeping and have been full of anxiety lately.
