I'm so sorry, sj. Much love to you and your family.
Toddson, I'm so glad you're okay.
I've been MIA because we've been up to eyeballs in college stuff. But Robin has chosen DePaul in Chicago, which is awesome.
Mal: Does.. um.. does this seem kind of tight? Kaylee: Shows off your backside.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Apparently therapy is really working and some of the inner child, inner parent, inner adult stuff my therapist has been using that I didn't really buy into at the beginning actually works.
Three cheers for Therapy!

Three cheers for Robin!
We finished binging Heartstopper and now JZ and I are deep in Severance. Which reminds me in places of Eternal Sunshine and at other times of Memento, and sometimes The Prisoner and also Loki (for the purgatorial office vibe).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Separately, sj, I just wanted to say we're thinking of you. It is so weighty and sad.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yay, Robin!
Askye, continued ~ma headed your way.
Papa is being moved to hospice sometime today. I’m sitting with him now.

That's terrific!
Thinking of you today, sj. Much love to you and Papa and your whole family. I hope the hospice is a comforting experience for you all.
Good news, Cashmere! Yay for Robin!
Severance reminded me MOST of Brazil, but I can see your comparisons, Hec.

That works too. Pick a Dystopia!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thinking of you, sj.

I just want him to not be in so much pain. They’ll be able to manage that better there.

Oh sj. I will say with my dad the move to hospice was a relief and a blessing. Which feels weird to say but you all get what I mean. It was a relief to be able to focus on caring about him rather than all the constant frictions and fights and disturbances of the hospital. It’s a terribly sad place to come to nevertheless. You’re in my heart today.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
The idea of hospice is scary, but the implementation was so helpful for my mom (and for Dad, who was her primary caretaker at that point). I hope your Papa has a quick, safe transition there, sj.
