I've been wondering the same, but as I can see you, it's most likely
really that quiet in here.

I've been to the Berlin Film Festival at the weekend, which was a lot of
fun, but also rather exhausting, as I had a cold when we went there, and
 standing outside several hours at a stretch doesn't really improve
that. Thankfully I was lucky, I am still rather hoarse and have a cough,
but otherwise I am fine again.
Reason for my visit there was that I wanted to see a certain actor whom
I am a fan of, and I actually managed to see him close up for a short
moment. Sounds silly, especially for a woman my age, but I was
overwhelmed and very happy.

it's been really slow here.
my mom is in ICU. she won't be getting better.
they *finally* started on the barn again yesterday & it's
snowing & sleeting today so they won't be here today. the sick
llama died. Boo got a Boston Terrier puppy for Christmas &
we'll be getting a cute little lab/cattle dog cross puppy in
March when he's old enough to leave his mom. he's only 4 weeks
old now.
oh, & i've been decluttering since it's too cold to work
outside ;)

yeah, she's my go to for medical advice.
i'm hoping my dad will stay up here instead of going to FL in
the winters though.

> damn

it's really icy. they have to drive 50 miles or so to get
here, over Temple mountain (which is NO fun when it's icing).
i'd rather they didn't kill themselves before they finish the
barn (which won't be completely done until the ground thaws &
dries a bit because they can't pour the cement floor until
then)

>> the sick llama died.

yeah, she was my favorite girl. but i have a whole tubful of
her fiber which someone is going to spin for me & then i'll
have a Perl hat & mittens.

she's cute. her name is Peanut.

> too cute

he's black & white. the mom is the cattle dog & she's a roan
brindle. the only brindle pup was already taken, but this
little guy is very cute... he tries to howl already. that
should be fun :-/

> it is cathartic :))

it is. the impetus was my Schneider's skink escaping... while
the clutter gave him lots of places to hide from the cats, it
made finding him difficult ;)

I am so sorry Lee. My dear friend in GA lost her Mom Saturday morning after
a battle with cancer. It's been so hard for them all. I feel for you. I hope
your Dad stays up to be near you and Boo.

Poor Perl. I know how much you loved her. She's been a regular here for a
long time. I'm sorry you lost her.

I am sure he is in love. We have a Peanut. She's a chihuahua whippet mix.
Her legs go on forever, but her body and head are tiny. She's bizarre.
That's why she had to come home with us from the shelter. I was afraid no
one else would take her home she was so ugly and skinny.

Too sweet. Ours only howl if they hear sirens outside. It's hilarious.

Okay. No loose skinks in the house. I would say that was a fine trigger. We
have been clothes decluttering. My family does not need all the clothes we
have.

Enjoy the freedom of less stuff.

we're not terribly overemotional about death in my family. all
the funeral arrangements were actually finallized by my
parents last year, not that they expected to need them this
soon, but so that my brothers & i wouldn't have to figure out
what they wanted done & wouldn't get sucked into wasting money
at what can be an emotional time.
my mom has had assorted health issues for some time, but
mostly standard "getting old" things (she's 83). one thing
i've learned from watching her age is that getting really
sedentary & not exercising is a really bad thing for your
body. i compare her activity levels to my recently deceased
grandmother's & i can see why grandma lived to 102...

she died last night. my dad will be back up here on Sunday or
Monday (he thinks). mom was the social coordinator, so he's
been calling to find out if i know certain names & addresses.

thank you Amanda (& family).

> I hope you had time to see her and tell her you loved her.

not since September. i did talk to her on the phone.
they winter in Florida & usually come up for the holidays,
but mom was ill & they couldn't come up. i sort of think she
would have received better care up here. geriatric care in FL
isn't very good (oddly, since there's so many elderly).

> With sorrow again we'll pray for you and your family

my dad is silly. when he called me this morning he said he
was going to leave a message on my brother's answering
machine. i asked if he didn't have his cell number. well, yes,
he does, but he didn't want to "bother" him at work. yup, my
family is a bit off kilter.

no, he'll be bringing her ashes up. they bought a place for
their ashes in Nashua last year. i have no idea why they chose
Nashua, as my dad's parent's ashes are in St.Pete...
i suspect my dad will sell the house in Florida. neither of
them particularly liked it there, but it was warmer in the
winter & mom needed that. my dad is perfectly happy with snow,
since he can hire someone to plow ;)
i'd prefer he stay up here so he's closer to us (my older
brother lives at his house & my younger brother is near the
NH/ME seacoast border). we'll see what he thinks though.

Yes, I understand wanting him close by. I hope there are many listening
hearts around him. It must be devastating after such a long
relationship, even if not unexpected. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let me try that again.

You have my sympathy Lee, to your Dad and brother as well. It seems like
every family handles death so differently. When my grandfather passed away
we all knew it was coming so we accepted it and took it more calmly.

I am glad your family is handling it in your own way. I hope you have some
great memories and so does Boo.

My condolences.

My condolences, Lee. Even if it was expected, it is still something else
entirely when it happens. I hope your family doesn't drift totally apart
now like it sometimes happens after a death.

well, my older brother is mentally ill & neither my younger
brother or i have been terribly close to him. it's kind of
difficult to be... although when he stays on his meds it's
possible to sort of carry on a conversation with him.
my younger brother & i are pretty close & his granddaughter
(age 5) adores my son (age 7). yeah, my younger brother has a
grandkid. how weird! but she's so cute!
i'll have to make more effort to keep in touch with my aunt
(mom's sister) though. i mostly was doing so through my mom.

thanks, Froogy.
really, i'm fine & dad is back up in NH, but my mom isn't
yet...
dad has decided to have the memorial service next Wednesday &
hopefully mom will be here by then (but no guarantees).
if anyone really wants to, i have the address for donations
in her name to arthritis research, just email me for the
details.
