I got to spend this 4th of July helping clean out a dead woman's house. In the interest of being open and free of drama, my paternal grandmother died extremely early this morning in the nursing home. I feel remarkably unbothered by it and don't require any comforting; she had suffered from Alzheimer's for several years, and had always said she'd rather be dead than in a home, so this is in every way a release and a blessing.
Still, there's plenty to do, as there always is. Funeral arrangements to make, family to see, etc. If I'm a bit scarce over the next week or so, you now know where I'll be.
