Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Lisa, I'm so sorry. And Pix, I hope hospice is supportive for both your father and you.
Relatedly, I just got back from being out of town for a friend's father's funeral. I was close to him in college, because they were close by, so we spent a lot of weekends with them, but it had been years since I'd been out there. We were saying, more funerals than weddings from here on out.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I don’t like it.

Always Anti-fascist!
Well, I kind of *started* there, too, but it's nothing to love.

Lisa, if you want to talk about this or text with someone who's also going through the loss of a father, please know I am here.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Sending you all my strength and love, Pix. May it go easily for him, and for you too.

Punishingly Intricate
Thank you so much, Pix. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Would be happy to text.

Oh Pix. It's all so sudden, and I remember that feeling all too well. I hope it goes as easily and smoothly for him as possible.
I told myself that I would look for/apply for jobs this weekend, so I finally got out my laptop this afternoon. There are fewer jobs than last time I looked a few months ago (I was hoping there'd be more, with start of the year? Maybe in the coming weeks?) and even those that I'm like "yeah I could totally do that" definitely don't sound great to me, they just sound like...work. Which, I mean, they ARE, but....ugh. AND I have to update my resume and write cover letters?? I'd really prefer a winning lotto ticket.
