I have a lock of my first girlfriend's hair, which is a memento mori now. Death is strange. Or it lends its strangeness to the world, making simple things fill up with mortality and loss.
It's a weird old world.

Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, but also, I would like to pat myself on the back. I was thinking that I didn't have anything to eat here, and the call of Domino's was STRONG. But I got home and discovered corn chowder in the fridge, so I'm making corn muffins (it's a theme?) and bob's your uncle.

Pete used to have shoulder-length hair. When he decided to shave it off, I saved it.
With all of that in mind, I really shouldn't feel uncomfortable about talking to Dad about wanting some of Mom's ashes, should I? And yet, I do. I don't know how to have that conversation with him.
(When I do finally bring myself to have that conversation, I'm planning on getting this reliquary locket to keep the ashes in.)

Where is that envelope from October? Who is this Cornell person? What kind of transaction number is 1076? October was not that long ago! I have all the envelopes for the surrounding transactions! Where are you, envelope? Auuugh!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My mother is begging us to let her throw our teenager stuff out. So far I won't let her, but I doubt she'll pay attention to my wishes for long.

Jilli,
I totally think you should have that conversation with your father. I think it will go much better than you imagine it will. He knows his daughter. I'm kind of surprised he hasn't asked you!

Wow, that was kinda ridiculously painless. I called the bank and they told me what I needed to know...that's not the kind of customer service I've been carefully groomed to expect!
