I hope the universe gives you all the time you need, David. It's the least it could do.

I will be thinking of you, David and Matilda, and JZ's family, and everybody who knew her. I hope everything proceeds smoothly, even for something we all wish did not have to happen.

Coincidentally, I am having a colonoscopy today, arranged a couple of months ago. (There was blood in a routine stool test, so). If I think of it as a memorial colonoscopy, it makes it a wee bit easier. If anyone could spare some medical-procedure-ma, I'd be vey grateful.

I will be thinking of you, David and Matilda, and JZ's family, and everbody who knew her. I hope everything proceeds smoothly, even for something we all wish did not have to happen.

Oh, Fiona, you said it so well.

And lots of good vibes for you today, for health and all-is-well and all good things.

And, um, timelies.

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

David, you're in my thoughts today. You and this place. So much love to you and Matilda and Emmett.

Fiona, procedure~ma.

And people, thank you so much for your support. These are awful and heartbreaking times here. I love y'all.

David, I'm holding you and Matilda and Emmett in my heart today. I love you.

Shir and Nilly, you are still — always — in my thoughts.

Our wings are not tired.

David, I'm holding you and Matilda and Emmett in my heart today. I love you.

Shir and Nilly, you are still — always — in my thoughts.

Steph said what is in my heart this morning.

Because books.

Echoing both Steph and Laura. And hoping, David, that you can take some time when it's all over to let yourself process and rest.

I would like to return this Monday to sender and go back to bed.

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

What Steph said.

Dana, me too and also last night. ltc and I had a huge fight about stupid stuff. She was still mad this morning, and I didn't sleep at all.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Was up at 330 to get to the airport for what will, I hope and expect, be our last trip to the children's hospital. Fortunately, I got boarding passes for the return flight this afternoon, as well. Lap infant means you have to get them from an agent, and Honolulu is a zoo.

Much -ma to Hec, Matilda, and everyone at the funeral today, as well as Shir, Nilly, and everyone in that part of the world.

And to Atropa and everyone dealing with medical shit.

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

If I think of it as a memorial colonoscopy, it makes it a wee bit easier. If anyone could spare some medical-procedure-ma, I'd be vey grateful.

All the medical procedure -ma, Fiona. A fine memorial.

Thank you for all the kind thoughts and love. I'm going to try to get through this without openly sobbing. Nothing wrong with sobbing, of course, but I won't have access to my box of tissues at the church.
