Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Because books.

The Amiable Alliance concurs.

Hail, fellow Amy. Concur with your concurrence.

The lurkiest representative of the Amiable Alliance concurs as well. It's heart-food to be able to share this with JZ, who is, in fact, the best.

I hope a timeline brings a little comfort. And I’m deeply glad you’re able to be at home surrounded by love, in the home that so much love and joy went into creating, even if for far too brief a time.

I remember similar times with my mom, and it was painful and difficult, and yet filled with laughter and love, and I wouldn’t give up a moment of it. And I’m grateful that you and David are choosing to share with us, as we in this community have shared so many joys and heartbreaks over the years. I truly don’t know who I would be without this funny, thoughtful, challenging, supportive, provocative, and most of all loving community.

We seriously are the best, and JZ embodies the best of us.

JZ, I hope every single day we are lucky enough to still have your presence also brings you a sense of pleasure.

Indeed.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I finally got JZ hooked up on my laptop with her logged into her own gmail account, B.org and FB.

Her typing is shaky now but she might have me type up a note or two for her.

But she can read and scroll now.

Side note: She's mentioned before doing a big Zoom call as we did for Amyth. Is that something we could set up?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I’m absolutely up for a zoom call.

I think Nanita set that up?

I have an unlimited Zoom account and would be glad to host.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I was the one who organized the previous Zoom, and I can arrange another one. Hec, I'll send you an email to arrange things.

(also, yes, of course JZ is the bestest. And erika, I feel you in Problematic Grandparents, where is the guide [subtitle: I understand that living through WW2 as Jews in Europe didn't help, but For The Love Of God WTF]. Epic, much love and strength to you in your treatments. And much ~ma to all of the other people I forgot to mention. To all of us).

Edit: posted at the same with beekaytee and didn'tsee the post - you of course can organize the Zoom.

Thrive to spite them

I want to do a Zoom call.

I applied for a couple of more jobs today. My resume isn't perfect but it's out there.
