Sirius, my son's dog, died on the 10th. I was gutted that day. I'd already had a couple tough phone calls come in while I wasn't fully awake nor fully cognizant, missed one from the Mercy Clinic (who STILL hasn't called me back from that return call, and I'll have to call again). Then, after the most vexing call by a half hour to an hour Sirius had ( Read more... )

Donna is no longer in the land of the living.  I had an odd dream yesterday morning wherein she asked me if anyone had told me yet that she'd died.  I said no, as I'd not heard at that time...  In the dream she showed me a bit of where she was (nice place, like other times I've been there), told me that she was with Courtney and her mom again.  I ( Read more... )

Well...  I've just heard the news about Starblade's demise.  I never talked to the guy, though I have seen his name around before this.  I'm not sure what I feel other than sad.

Baxil wrote a nice eulogy.  Short version of what has happened can be found on Flayrah.  I was disturbed enough that the guy had been supposedly killed by a "friend" but ( Read more... )

Well, I just found the news that Issac Bonewitts passed last night / early this morning in his sleep.  The page links to the article in The Wild Hunt, and the official Facebook announcement on Issac  I am glad that it happened that way, and I assume that his wife had been sleeping next to him like my mom did with dad.  I don't know, I would have to ( Read more... )

This is as good a time as any, I suppose.  I do need to write about this ( Read more... )

Great Grandpa Dick Huddleston passed last night, in the hospital, in his sleep.  Not heard any more on Uncle C.  Hopefully Uncle C. pulls through, but only if that's what he wants.

On a totally different note than the rest of the day...  Theresa's dead.  She died yesterday.  Still haven't managed to connect with Harley.  By how I was after dad's death, it will probably be a while.  I'll keep trying though ( Read more... )

So... another cat down.  Athena found her, not sure which one... maybe... Bouncer... tiger stripe black cats are hard to tell apart.  One of the pregnant ones with the good hunter genes though...  Mom spent more time with the tiger stripe ones, so she'll know which one it was ( Read more... )

I feel like some strange combination of Kikyo, her soul collectors (don't get me started on my interpretation of Kikyo's soul dynamics right now) and some sort of Izanami-influenced something or other.  I use Kikyo as a descriptor because she's fairly well known (though misunderstood in my opinion.  VIZ sometimes pisses me off ( Read more... )

Mom and I expected to already be in the city taking care of some stuff there (my job this trip, primarily company).  Obviously not headed out yet ( Read more... )
