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 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.

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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Just huge love and peaceful thoughts headed to JZ and family.
My family is losing one of ours within hours/days. My funny, beautiful, complicated, magical fairy aunt Happy. This is a quote from her about herself from a family gathering a few years ago. It makes me smile and just sums her up perfectly. "It's hard to behave." (Mind you, this was after she started a conversation about Brazilian waxes at....a baby shower. I am laughing through tears, friends.)
All the love to all of you.

I'm sorry about the loss of your dear aunt, Glam.
