(no subject)
Things have been reasonably quiet. Mr. Man got back from Mississippi and we talked for a little while about the funeral and he showed me a picture of Mon in the casket [after I squicked because I'm like, 'D00d, gimme a little warning next time?']...That's the first and only time I've ever seen Mon in a suit. *wan chuckle*
Well, there was ex-girlfriend drama [missed that] too much food [Mr. Man's mom told me about all of that and she said if she didn't have to do any more cooking for a week it would be too soon], much drunkenness and a shitload of regrets. Part of me honestly wanted to go but from hearing about it, I don't think I missed much. Mr. Man is trying to keep himself together, but I know this gets to him. I'm not pushing him to talk about it - he usually does when he's good and ready. [And inebriated.]
There's other news, actually. I've been out of my writing groove on the Suiko board for the last two weeks, now I should get back onto that. I'm expanding my horizons in a few new directions, and I've managed to do that without scaring the hell out of myself or thinking that the people in the new settings are absolute idiots / emo peoplez. Li Li's sorta talking me through that.
I hate sun.
Anyway, I'm around but I'm not really around because after I write this, I'm turning the ringer off and curling back up in bed. My coping mechanism is out of whack again and I just feel like being avoidant. At least in bed I've got pillows and TV. Ta, possums.
Footnote: Maddie took the news about Uncle Mon pretty well. Mr. Man says that he told her as gently as he could, and that she just went, 'OK' and went to play with some of her other cousins. I'm glad she's too little to understand some things.
