Thinking of you and your family, Steph.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Now tagless for your comfort.
Doesn't that kind of bias them against attending college, then?
I'm sort of hoping the encouragement we give them will be enough and that they'll want to go to college on their own. If they don't want to go on to school, we really can't force them--even if we're alive.
The trust will pay living and school expenses while they go to college, so it's not like they will get nothing until they graduate.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm sorry for your and your family's loss, Tep.

Ann, that's a ferret.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I've reverted to stress-housework. So far I've: baked a quiche, done laundry and hung it outside to dry, washed a double-sinkfull of dishes, and changed the bedsheets.
Next up: gym. And possibly baking zucchini bread.

“Not dead yet!”
I've reverted to stress-housework.
My sister! Emptied and refilled dishwasher. Done loads of sheets, towels and now the duvet cover. Remade the bed with fresh sheets. Swept up the furballs, although they've already proliferated.

So sorry to hear that, Steph.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I wish my stress was so efficient.
I was just thinking the same thing.
