There is nothing more satisfying than a highly productive cough. Period.

Going to Baldy hopefully sometime in the beginning of February-- possibly will get out there before the end of January, even. Probably will (hopefully) be there until early march. Also, I'm a baldy now. Check it.

Hosen (the abbess here) was home for about 20 hours... I was little-kid-whose-mom-just-got-back-from-vacation excited the whole time she was back, or at least at times... We left on a fairly bad page, I thought (and think still... kind of)... I was mostly very happy to see someone from Bodhi-of-old... But things with her are always very awkward. ( Read more... )

So... my Grandfather just died. And all my family is gathering at my Grandma's house so she doesn't have to be alone this afternoon. And all I can think is "well... this is probably gonna be awkward ( Read more... )

Except he's not dead yet. People can waver on the brink of death for a really long time. Even as DNR/DNI. I dunno how I feel about that. I dunno how I feel about people buying a little more time even though they're dying and they're not gonna get better. My Grandfather is DNR/DNI, but if he wasn't on oxygen and morphine, he'd be dead. He would have ( Read more... )
