I am still very very angry that JZ got so little time to make your new house her home, btw. At, like, the universe, I suppose. I don't need an object, as such, just want to make clear that it is not you.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
when we went to some sort of mod party (I remember trying to find a dress and boots that worked!
We went to Bardot-A-Go-Go! So not just mod but French Mod.

I'm at peace with it. It would be much worse if she'd never gotten to live here or help me design the rooms. Her touch is everywhere.
I don't believe in angels or afterlife but my consoling fiction is that her guardian angel saw that her lifetime would be brief. And they arranged it so that before she died she would help create a new home, and that she would begin writing again, and she would have one more season at Faire.

Our wings are not tired
I also remember staying at that apartment. There's a lot of history in that space.

My sister came down for a week so I am trying to have a normal work day and let her take care of the parents but I don't know if it's possible to overstate how much I don't care about work right now.

Timelies all!
Congrats, David. I remember a small F2F at your apartment when we were staying with Gary's uncle who lived around the corner.

Mom *is* going to have to have surgery to get her wrist fully functional, they previously thought she would not. So that’s disappointing, but it sounds like with the surgery should eventually be able keep up her quilting which I know she would hate if she could not. Possibly a longer time before she is cast-free than 6-8 weeks, I’m guessing - the surgery isn’t scheduled yet.

I think I might be getting Covid again. One of my students tested positive a few days ago, and I feel like crap in a way that feels very familiar.
