My mother, en route back home from my uncle’s funeral, got word her cousin has died.
I worry about mom processing all the loss.
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.
'Ariel'
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Our wings are not tired.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh no, msbelle. Your poor mom!
Thanks, all. Working is keeping me pretty well distracted at the moment. Really glad I have a working phone today!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
msbelle, I'm so sorry. Much ~ma to your mother.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
-t, stent-ma to your dad, and distraction-ma to you!
I drove past a house in my neighborhood today with a sign on the porch saying "Presidents are temporary;* WU TANG IS FOREVER." I put a picture on Facebook.
*(The semicolon was not in the sign but it was CLEARLY implied.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Lots of easy peasy surgery-ma!
Ooof, msbelle, that's a lot.
I still don't know what I'm going to do about school in person.
FWIW, the private high schools in SF have been open and in person for months and they've only had five isolated cases out of 15,000 students. I think schools have figured how to mitigate a lot of the risk by now. The riverboat prom sounds cool!

Oh, man, but imagine your glee if it had been? Almost too much.
msbelle and -t, all the -ma your and your parents' way.
We move in a week. One week! Very excited, and I'm pretty happy with how much is packed. But that is my primary task today. More packing.

I would have crashed my damn car if there had been a semicolon in the sign.

Woman found sobbing, hugging yard sign next to car wreck. Seems uncannily happy. Film at 11.
