This whole situation seems to be bringing out both the best and the worst in people.
Indeed.
I am trying to log into work email, but I'm a bit nervous because I think I snapped at one of my (most stupid) coworkers yesterday and I'm worried I'm gonna hear about it.
JZ, I'm so sorry you had to deal with all of that on top of everything else. I hope Mr. Garbage comes to his senses and realizes he was horrible, but I doubt he will. (He's probably the kind of guy who gets upset about women not smiling at him on the street when he tells them to.)
That was wonderful to read, Nilly.
JZ, I don't even know what to say about those people!
Well, crap, JZ. Two scary monsters on the worst trip of your life. You have my crazy at the grocery store tale beaten all to hell.
How I wish I had known you needed to go to the East Bay. I was sitting here twiddling my thumbs in utter useless boredom. I would have offered you a ride. I'm sorry I missed the opportunity and that you had to put up with the worst of your fellow man - twice!
I remember the SF F2F when you were very pregnant with Matilda and preparing to take the bus home and I insisted on driving you because I had such a bad feeling about the weird guy who tried to crash our party. Sure enough, he was hanging around in front of the hotel. He saw you and looked very disappointed that you were sitting safely in the van. I thought you hadn't noticed him and decided not to mention anything so you'd have a peaceful night, safe at home.
JZ, I went back twice to confirm that wasn't a fever dream you were recounting. Sweet heaven.
Nilly, I think you've expressed some pretty essential human realities there and I've marked it to look back on for years to come. Thank you.
A little bit of good news -very pregnant cousin is 72 hours symptom free and out of quarantine! She's got about three weeks to get some strength up and sort out the logistics of having a baby in the middle of a pandemic. :)
Hi Nilly!! Good yo hear froM you but sorry things are tough. Some folks have been v entertaining online with their updated Haggadah for this years "very Passover-y Passover".
JZ I'm sorry your trip was so nuts :(
It's always such a blessing when you have time to throw numerous paragraphs at us, Nilly! It warms the cockles of my heart to know you are reading and maybe skimming but not skipping, so lovely.
We just got word that he has passed. No pain. He did not wake again after Jacqueline left.
He just went to sleep, adrift on morphine until he wound down and let go.
Oh, I'm so sorry and also glad the very end was as OK as it could have been.

I'm so grateful Jacqueline was able to see him yesterday.
That you for letting us know, David. Much love to all of you.
