I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Or possibly it was that my husband was on the phone, jesus christ. Did the guy try to call yet? No idea.

Laura, please give DH my sincerest condolences.

Last night my long-time long distance friend's husband died after a long decline with Alzheimer's, essentially getting to the point where he no longer remembered to breathe. Death was more of a release from suffering there than a sudden tragedy.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, Theo. Loss is loss, but sometimes the pain is lessened by knowing it was time.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am just now getting the second class resolved with mac. been on this since 9 something this morning. He "fell back asleep" and did not respond to calls or texts, or me knocking on his door since 10:45.

I'm suddenly getting a rash of "someone is trying to get into your account" emails—but legit ones. From Fitbit and twitter and I forget where else. Guessing my password somewhere got posted and they're trying it? So now I'm going through and updating a few that should've already been. I'm hoping there's nowhere important I'm forgetting that they were successful at and didn't notify me???

I'm sorry Drew, it's hard. No matter how old we get, or how much time passes. You miss them.

Oh, poor B! Give him our love, Laura.

I'm glad you're getting some traction, msbelle. I'm glad you have (and sorry you need) the patience of a saint.

Yikes, meara! Good luck!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Meara, is it possible that someone is mis-typing their email, and trying to log on on a new device or some nonsense.

I pretty routinely get sign-up notifications for people who didn't include their middle initial in their email address (got there first! Ha!)

Peace-ma to everyone.

Oh, Laura, how awful! I'm so sorry.

I'm sure I had other stuff but I forgot. Sorry.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Hugs for all who need/want them.

In super light news - I just today figured out that I can get a side of oatmeal instead of fries at McDonald's (not as part of the combo (actually, maybe I will ask about that next time!)) and that works out pretty good. There may be no one else in the world who needs this particular life hack, but it's nice for me.
