*sigh*
Because it wouldn't be a true week in my life if nothing went wrong...
My Mom just called. One of my cousins, whom I used to see every summer when we visited California to see my Mom's family, died yesterday. She was 38 (if I recall the age difference correctly) and in fine health. She went to our Aunt's house to help tint her hair, then went home and laid down for a nap. She never woke up. The coroner said 2-3 weeks till they can rule on what happened.
I saw her every summer till we were in our teens, but I will always recall how she loved to say her full name as a young girl cause it rhymed. "I'm Crystal Bell Mortel!" She'd over emphasize the last syllable in case you couldn't tell readily enough that it rhymed with Bell.
Thankfully, I'm by myself at work... no one to explain the tears to.
