I'm wondering if she even got to enjoy the Clint Barton action figure she ordered from Target.
Fuck, that makes me cry.
It's so unfair.
Thank you, Connie, wherever you are. (One of the Connies! didn't we have a joke about that?)
You will be missed.
That is making me sick, too. I didn't talk to her offline, but I don't talk to anyone offline. She had the sort of hardscrabble upbringing I can relate to and I really just loved her trips to Vegas and her small happiness of life on her own, which was inspiring.
I haven't done much today, just curled up on my couch. I tried to put together my new bed, but it has defeated me, Maria is coming over tomorrow to help. Aidan will be by Sunday to take out the recycling, and my landlord will come by Monday. I am happy with this, but sad about Connie. We always had three Connies (Neil, Hirsch, and Suela) and now only two.
I was actually very encouraged reading her wall to see that Connie had been a regular with a D&D group over the last couple years. She added a lot to their play and they all loved her, and she looked after them.
Also, the last link I posted to her wall? It was something she herself had posted earlier in the month. So, I know she liked it even if she didn't see the one I sent.
It is pleasing me to think how much pleasure she took in placing that action figure order. It was the responsible financial decision!
Oh David. That is sweet about her post. I always love the things you post to me because it makes me feel seen, like I have a little footprint in the world
I cannot figure out how to put this Leesa bed together! I think maybe I am supposed to have pegs of some sort. Maria and Aidan are coming over later to help!
Timelies all!
Gary has taken Mr. S downtown for the Nationals parade. I wished him luck as they left.
I'm avoiding going out at all costs today.
It really is a beautiful day, but I think it's going to be nuts downtown and everywhere else!
Congrats to the Nats and all, but yesh.
I really think I am missing a part! At 4 I am going to buy a dowel and a saw!
Depending on where you get the dowel, you might be able to get someone there to cut it for you. If you bring one of the dowels that came with the bed into a place that sells some lumber (or that demos some of the power tools it sells), they might do it for you.
