I can accept death. What I have a hard time accepting is why certain people get less time on earth than certain other people. I will never understand it, and remain shaking my fists at the sky angry that some of the absolute best people get fewer days, fewer years, than some of the most atrocious.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, that's hard to get past.

Good job on Tim's spine! De-curve that kid.
Jacqueline woke up this morning and requested poached eggs and she ate them both and that's a good start on the day. Definitely better than yesterday's oatmeal misadventure.
We're talking with our UCSF oncologist via Zoom at noon today to talk about the plan going forward.

That sounds delightful!
I’m waiting for the surgeon to come talk to me, b/c the surgery is over. And then I want a great big burger and a crunchy salad.

That's good to hear - food request. May it settle well and properly.
Been pulling for Tim all morning.
ETA: I was talking about JZ'S request, but same for Steph's burger.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Much love to JZ, DavidS and family. I don't know what else to say.

Now I have seen pictures of your breakfast eggs and I can see where they would stimulate an appetite.
Yes, celebrate the surgery being completed with a nice yummy lunch. Go Tim's spine!

I am happy to read this. I was talking to my mother yesterday and she said, “Oh, I know who Jacqueline is she’s always saying lovely things about my granddaughter on Facebook. She seems like such a lovely person.” So, she sends her good thoughts your way as well.
I hope Tim’s surgery went well today.
Love and ~ma to all of you.

Tim's doing well -- I didn't get a chance to talk to the surgeon yet, because he had another surgery to do, but it seems like it went well. Tim is full of drugs and snoring softly.
I didn’t get a burger, but the hospital cafeteria had salmon and broccoli, which was very tasty.
