I was saddened to learn of the death of jj1564. While we weren't close, I enjoyed participating in spn_on_parade and spn_bigpretzel. I enjoyed reading the hijinx she got up to with dizzojay and millygal. She was a bright, brave, funny woman and I'll miss her. My heart goes out to her friends and loved ones.

This weekend was hell on toast. Yesterday I took a semi-news break, and unfollowed a bunch of Facebook friends who are stridently political (we're all left wing) and post either huge screeds and link to articles that I don't want to read.

It's been so strange, I feel a mix of relief, loss, anger and numbness. It's like depression without the pain and misery of depression ( Read more... )

My mother died peacefully this morning after a long illness. She was difficult and could be a major bitch. But she was my mother, and I will miss her. My brother Dean and I are making the arrangements, and my older sister Tessa is taking care of the financials.  Jeff and I are in shock. The past two weeks were terribly difficult; she was in great ( Read more... )

My mom is dying and it sucks. Most of you know this: we thought we’d lose her August 2018 when she had pneumonia (for the third time!). I signed her into at-home hospice. In January she was discharged. They do that after six months if it looks like you’ll still be alive for another six months or more. This May, I signed her back into hospice. ( Read more... )

We lost a great person last night. Thanks to blackmare for keeping us in the loop. nightdog_barks passed away last night from side effects of chemotherapy. It hasn't hit me yet. I will miss her so much. We never met, which I regret keenly. Her emails were always delightful.

I've been looking at DW, and there are virtually no entries by anyone there.  Meanwhile, there are virtually no entries here.  I am so bummed out.  This has been my online home since 2009.  I miss everybody.
