(((Elorrum))) it is so fucking hard to see them lose their lives one piece at a time... I remember a kind of desperate panic, searching for recognition in my dear father's eyes... aw, fuck.

FUCK

Well, it is what it is. The good times are fleeting but, so are the bad.

Big (((hugs))) to everybody and a reminder to seize each fucking day, right?

OR, you are fucking lucky!!!! my advice would be to stay near the coast, unless you * love * the heat and * hate * fog. the beachtowns are expensive, but wonderful, and can be pretty small-town like (especially Hermosa Beach.) oh ..... and you will definitely still be an oregonian ..... lol, i moved from santa cruz to LA (25 years) to idaho, and still think of myself as a northern californian... good luck!

*gasp* fucking balloons!

"It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. And this bag was, like, dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. And that's the day I realized there was this entire life behind things, and... this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... and I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in."

You would think people would be fucking careful and take care of things they borrow.
This is the reason I am so fucking paranoid about borrowing stuff from others. There is always a potential that I could damage something.

Pretty good reason to own a cat if you ask me. Though, for full disclosure, I own both a dog and a cat. At least as far as it goes that you actually "own" a cat.

Well Fishy they say that no good deed ever goes unpunished :? but, why would this fucking person still qualify as a friend? That is NOT a friendly way to behave. And life is too fucking short to be wasted trying to help people who are jerks about it, geez, I hardly can help all the nice people I know... :(

Here, I'll fix that for you!

Fuck, El... That sucks mondo... it's hard when you see your folks come apart - my dad went the same way, tho worse than alzheimers, because it had a physical component to it as well... Fucked up way to go.

Speaking of going... I thought the CO's gig was temporary, not permanent? I can see the headlines... "MASH returns to Roots"... the 2 hardest things will be keeping your cool and laid back self in the southland and adapting to the differences of it (it... changes... people...) and making a whole new set of friends (well, for you that won't be hard! ;) ) ... That and the zombie hoardes when the SHTF... then again, the eqrthquakes here only go to about 7 point fucking something... that cascadia thing you live next to now? They're guessing 9.5+ when, not if, it goes.

Oh yeah, my own personal fuck of the day - our RE agent was asleep at the switch and didn't tell the RE agent of the place we're looking at that we were hot for it (and coming up next week to look at it), and it got an offer put on it... It's the one with the 1850's blacksmith shop... Well, it might not go thru (a lot of property up there gets offers but won't pass the loan appraisals), but still, we seem to have shitty fucking luck with Real Estate People...

Oh, PS, Fishie... Rule number one -

NEVER... FUCKING... LOAN... YOUR... WHEELS... TO... ANYONE!!!!!

(OK, that's rule #2, Rule #1 of course is never fucking forget your mitt. Or towel!)

BBS~ The theory is temporary. 4 or 5 years kind of temporary. I cannot live away from him for that long. I just don't have it in me anymore. So, I will relocate to Ventura County somewhere (very likely Simi Valley, where he's living now) to be with my husband sometime after TTITD. I am alternately freaked out and delighted by this prospect. Lord, help me... I am a fucking Oregonian, but I could not stop smiling and laughing all weekend. L.A. is alright with the right company.

As for Cascadia. I have lived in the shadow of this all my life. I will continue to do so as long as I live on the West Coast.

Life fucking changes people. I can fucking adapt to anything.

I'm finding it crazy how I wish I could go back to the fucked up-ness of last week. Now that doesn't seem so bad. We got cancer and dementia, not sure who is the true conquerer. No drama right now thanks. Peaceful sleepy lady. Fuck the info they give us though. Saturday eve it was active dying. Yesterday someone suggested physical therapy. It's. A fucking circus! She's standing and moving on her own today though.. so a small rally. Yay.

Sue, I hope you get your blacksmith shop!

(((Elorrum))) They never travel in a straight line, do they? And well-meaning folks throw out suggestions like candy from a parade float. Here's mine: don't start anything now. Don't give her any laxatives,and don't buy her any green bananas. And no physical therapy, fuck that.
