My mother recently had to break the news of Dad’s death to the janitor at the gym where Dad worked out (and Mom works out). They were friends - with a language barrier, but I taught Dad Spanish phrases so that he could tell the janitor ‘have a good day,’ and they managed to tell each other about their families a bit and certainly exchanged pleasantries. They called each other...

UM.
Just calculated that for my English class, based on my teacher’s schedule, I need to read 124 pages a day every day this week.
Along with, of course, teaching myself math, my history readings, readings for Q.T., writing two response papers, and planning two memorial services for Daddy. Oh, and my job.

XLVII
“So, either by thy picture or my love, Thyself away art present still with me; For thou not farther than my thoughts canst move, And I am still with them, and they with thee; Or if they sleep, thy picture in my sight Awakes my heart to heart’s and eye’s delight.”

New love
My new love is Oliver Boyd and the Rememberalls.
Also, today has been relatively good. I get to work at the WC again next year (for $!), my application was approved for the apartment I want (cheap, decently cute, super-great location, with a friend), I got compliments on my hair, and I’ve been fairly productive. I don’t feel very freaked out about schoolwork - I am doing alright, and...

hmm
Just now, I was having a teary moment and asking the sky to give Daddy back, and looking out my big window. And oddly enough, the window across the parking lot, which belongs to, I am fairly sure, an unoccupied house/apartment, flashed a string of orangey/yellow lights three times. Hi, Daddy?
There’s just so many things like this I keep hearing about. Barbara from the library, who...

note to self
Self,
You are supposed to be reading Foucault’s Scientia sexualius while eating a cup of tuna and some cheesy rice cakes for lunch. You are not supposed to be reading up on sepsis, which killed Dad, on Wikipedia. You were having a good day so far: don’t ruin it like this. Please return to your previously scheduled activity of BEING PRODUCTIVE.
Thanks a lot, Me

Remember by Christina Georgina Rossetti
Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the...

Okay, confused and pissed at the presumption in a survey that rainbaby took that “seeing someone die” makes you a bad-ass or something.
I watched my dad die…am I now a badass? Wtf?

yay happy package
So I dunno if materialism in a person in mourning is uncouth, or something, but I don’t really care. Little cards & gifts are fun to receive and let me know that people are thinking of me. So imagine my delight when just now I checked my mail and had a totally unexpected care package from none other than my own dear Ruth!!!! I am so thrilled! It contains a very huggable I <3 NY teddy...

Sonnet LXXIII (even though I'm not up to it yet)
That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. In me thou seest the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away, Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest. In me thou seest the glowing...
