I'm wearing the dress I swore not to wear to work anymore, because of Jesse. She said camisole and dress, I thought of this, and now we'll see if I'd just been having a day or what.
Also, I will not make eye contact with strangers.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel like I'm in erinaceous drag.
Heh.
OMG, I am starving.

Because books.
OMG, I am starving.
S. woke me up with an Egg McMuffin and a hash brown, and I was so happy! And then it was eh. Total eh. McDonald's, you let me down.

Exactly. Now I want a donut replacement breakfast.

I found out last night that my great-uncle Ted died last Saturday. He was my father's uncle, but, in the way of turn-of-the-last century farm families, was 20+ years younger than Grandpa, so he was more like Dad's brother.
Uncle Ted was a good guy. Physically, he looked like Theodore Roosevelt to a scary extent. (I think he cultivated his mustache just to enhance the effect.) As he lived on the other side of the country, I only saw him a handful of times, but he was always kind and interested in my life when I did see him. He died at 86, after a short hospital stay, and he was active and aware of what was going on around him right up to the end. I'll miss him.

Aw, I'm sorry, Calli. He sounds like a great guy.

If it's not hot out of the bag/off the tray, it's always a disappointment.
sorry to hear about Uncle Ted, Calli.

Thanks. He was a great guy, but I think I'll miss the idea of him as much as his actual presence. The area where my dad grew up is in the rural Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and it's lost most of the population. Uncle Ted was one of the last living windows onto that part of my family background. There's really no one left who remembers Grandpa's farm, building the sauna, or picking blueberries in the back 40. It's all memories of other peoples' stories now.
