Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And so much love to all of you.

Oh, JZ. What a terrible situation. I'm so sorry. Hoping for the best possible outcome, and some peace and rest for you, too.

So sorry to hear about your Dad, JZ. Sending you all love.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I swerved away from soybeans and quinoa for dinner and ordered ginger chicken and spring rolls through Grubhub. Feels like a good decision.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I developed a bit of a cough this afternoon, but it feels more like post-nasal drip than anything else. I think. I have to figure out how paranoid to be.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Thank you, everyone.

I feel just utterly drained. And I'm only halfway through my own quarantine, and I haven't even done this evening's update to the family. I think I'm going to turn my phone off after that. I feel pithed.

Rest yourself, JZ.

I have spent most of today offline, well, online but on AO3, reading epically-long multi-generational Star Wars/Rogue One fixit-fic. It's strangely soothing.

Following the news closely only does bad things for my emotional state.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Oh, JZ, I'm so sorry. The only way out is through. And we are here for you for support.
