I say this as I'm helping my father set up all his accounts again after he panicked and deleted all his saved usernames and passwords.
Gold ticket straight to heaven!
I forgot to mention, that we got to see Maria and her beau on Boxing Day. Tried to get into Zazie but it was an hour wait so slid over to the Boulangerie where we had Croque Monsieur and went tromping off in an intermittent drizzle. Showed them Haight Street, and then a walk through the Panhandle. Down to Divisadero and those shops and back. Brought them home to dry them of and introduced them to the Boulevardier cocktail.
It was a shock to realize I haven't seen her in 8 years!! 2013 - that was a different world. We'll see them again before they head back.
Really pissed about all of that. Everything is such a fucking mess.
AGREED.
I'm also impressed that apparently no one in my church choir or family has covid this week.
That's cool, David! Give 'em a b.org hug, eh?
I was just thinking about Maria and hoping she was doing well.
I got a text from Mom. My cousin J has been moved to hospice. He has had another series of strokes and his body is shutting down. I said something about the rehab place being the reason and she said it was ...complicated.. but couldn't talk at the moment because my aunt was right there.
I don't know if J's son will get to see him before he dies. I hate this past year. I really really hate it.
I don't know how I feel right now. Except just sad.
And J's exwife has been out of jail now for a few weeks and her daughter let Mom know that she (the ex wife) has been getting drunk again. Which makes me sad too because I think based on what little I know of her parents and sibling, what she needs is a lot of therapy and support.
This also means that the ex wife will get to make decisions about J's son and all of that and .,.it's a mess. That child needs a miracle and there aren't any.
