Reader, writer, academic. I love books and pop culture and teaching. Half-formed opinions are my own. I live in a constant state of mortification. She/her
I never updated you with the final copy (spoiler: it’s the same with one sentence added because I am both the baby and the boss bitch of the family and get to do what I want. This is why I am a scourge)

I can’t even read obituary comments without crying and we have to somehow manage a funeral? (We’re only doing a graveside service but there is a eulogy and a song and other people near me)

Mom’s decided on Kenny Roger’s “Through the Years” for the graveside service song. She was going to do a church song because it’s “expected” but I told her to fuck expectations, and she said well….”I’d really like that Kenny Rogers song.” Good taste!

Operation Keep Mascara on face was a valiant effort, but the battle was lost 28 minutes in.

We have a first draft. We will let it sit for a night, consult with mom and aunt, and then finalize. I'll share it with you because everyone else in this house is asleep.

Have I had enough tequila to write an obituary? Let's find out!

(I'm sorry this account is a death account now. We'll move back to books and inane observations soon)

It’s a double-edged sword to have a wonderful circle who sends the kindest notes but then 😭😭.

Also, this song assaulted me when I got into the car to come home today. The algorithm with the emotional violence!

Actual question soliciting answers: The skin under my eyes is very angry. Is Aquafor the move?

Can one of you please contact all the people I know IRL so I don’t have to? Tell them also to miss me with the heaven talk.

Hardest thing I’ve ever done.

I just got the dumbest peer review feedback on a book chapter that is already accepted to the edition. I needed something external to put all my anger toward. The universe provides!

I’m gonna tell dad I’ll send him my bill for the nice dinners I’ve had while he’s in the ICU

If you tell me it's okay and healthy to feel/express emotions, I will block you. We are in tenuous mental health status here.
Dad's bone marrow cancer dr's team just came by. They said his dr, whom he loves, knows the situation and her heart was hurting, which caused my first full on tears in public. No thank you to human emotions IN PUBLIC please. How embarrassing to live in this goddamn human body.

Grading papers from my ICU room command center is surreal.

This will fix nothing but it will provide a calm 20 minutes.

It's incredible the pain and suffering the human body can withstand. Terrifying, really.

I made it to his icu room and holy shit this does really fucking suck
It turns out that when people tell me they’re sorry for the current dad dying situation, I burst into tears. But my friend who told me “it really fucking sucks” is my favorite. Because there’s a natural response. Yeah, it does fucking suck. No tears!

No one prepares you for the process of your dad dying.

I really like my colleagues, but they currently have our office heat set on 71 degrees, and this is NOT A GOOD START to my week.
