All sympathies to Matt's family.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm so sorry, Matt.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Matt, I hope your family has a lot of strength right now...or the freedom to not have any at all, if that's what it takes.
It's a trial before the Big Installation, right? That seems worth doing to me. From outside your body/life/self, obviously.
It's still two paddles inserted into my spinal area, a remote control, a battery pack on my hip, and a foam collar for a week.
They're gonna love giving me pain meds all gussied up like that, I'm sure of it.
Damn, I bought a Lion bar a few weeks ago, and I finally opened it, and DELICIOUS. I don't need delicious chocolate bars. At least it is too much for me to finish at a sitting.

I found some pics of my Jamaican high school friends and took them to show to my Jamaican co-worker. As she flipped through (she found one intensely familiar), she pointed to a white friend and asked "Mother?"
Uh, that's a 14 year old white former classmate. I forget some people think I'm biracial, but Joanne Fletcher is NOT my mother. Heaven forfend!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's still two paddles inserted into my spinal area, a remote control, a battery pack on my hip, and a foam collar for a week.
Oh yikes.
So there's a work thing that I've been hiding from for months and am finally trying to deal with and it's so hard, because I really did screw it up, and ugh.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have run out of motivation. It's naptime now, right?

Matt, I'm so sorry.
I was a little bewildered when the alarm went off this morning.
I took today off (we traveled home yesterday from the NYE event, and I knew I'd need a day of decompression), which means going back to the office tomorrow is going to be WEIRD.
