Oh, Allyson, that's ridiculously hard. But he was going to die alone and cold and afraid and you were able to give him love and warmth and courage, and that's not a small gift.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

{{{Allyson}}} I am so sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This. So sad, but so kind.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, Allyson! That is awful; I would be a wreck. It was SO the right thing to do, but hard, hard, HARD. Don't regret what you didn't do, because what you did was absolutely right for the information you had, and he was safe, warm, happy and had delicious turkey.
I am so sad for you, though.

In annoying news, I am getting dozens of spam text messages all in a row. Annoying!
Also, I should have grocery shopped today, but did not.

Oh Allyson, I am so sorry. You absolutely did the right thing for him, and he was able to spend his last few days warm and loved. I know that doesn't make it any easier for you, but you made things better for him.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. This bus has wifi. Cool! (Although the person in front of me has their seat tilted back so I can't put the screen in a decent postion.)
Just leaving Oshkosh. (B'gosh!)

Lots of love to you Allyson.
I went over and gave how to manage your stuff talks and demos to the family with bedbugs. I sealed up 2 bags of stuff from their house and brought here to wash and then treat and store. Then I went out and bought mattress enclosures for all their beds, 7 mattresses. The church has a fund to help them with expenses that come up unexpectedly, but I think this might have emptied it out - over $600 worth. I am so glad I could just donate them the isolator dishes, giant ziplocks and some plastic bins. That would have been a few hundred more and they don;t have that much extra sitting around.

Oh, mother. She called to see if I wanted to do something with them tomorrow. I said sure, but I have this massage at 11. So I wouldn't be over there until 1:30 or 2. That's kind of late, she says. Late for what?? We're going to take my grandmother shopping, I don't need to do that for more than three hours anyway, and that would still get them home in plenty of time for dinner at 6. I mean, seriously.
