Side note: She's mentioned before doing a big Zoom call as we did for Amyth. Is that something we could set up?
I have an unlimited Zoom account and would be glad to host.
Jayne, you'll scare the women.

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.

Good luck, askye!

Ooops. Edited to add that the timing is set! 9am PST/12 EST, Sunday August 20. My place. I'll post my link soon.
The next question up for debate is whether or not we should record the call for off-line viewing.
I have no preference, but this is a solution for those who cannot make the actual time.
Edited again to state the obvious: All plans will be predicated on what works for Chez Zmayhem.

I'd like a call.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I feel we are all together and it’s just… a gift.
So much this. I’m deeply grateful.Yes, this.

Thanks for setting this up, beekaytee.
Hello, juliana!

Hi, friends.
Hey! Your rosemary focaccia got all gobbled up.
Could everybody make a concerted effort to reach out to Buffistae who may not check in on the board regularly. I would like Lee to know. Allyson. I'll tell JenK. Just reach out.
I apologize that we didn't give more notice but it's starting to happen quickly.
She's starting to sleep a lot which is the thing our nurse told us would be a sign of the end.
Jacqueline dictated and I typed some responses to messages and emails this morning. Just know that she can't type or respond that well now, and even focusing her eyes or mousing around is a little tricky.
So...think of the Sunday call as an opportunity to leave nothing unsaid. I wish I had told Ginger a few things before she was gone.
She's not going to be doing much of the talking on the Zoom. That noted, I saw her fidgeting in bed this morning and asked her what she was doing and she said, "Writhing...and reeling." So she's still there with wit intact.
