Just thought I'd share some of the bounty visually...
It's Happy Bunny slippers! That phrase is sooo me. But no one ever needs to actually ask...sheesh.
And also... Abita Purple Haze raspberry wheat beer... exellent stuff. Real raspberry (seeds, too), not artificial flavor.
Oh boy, I was going to add a bit more but I just got a call that my aunt passed away. Just today I was thinking that I managed to get through a holiday without someone dying. Wow, that sounds so selfish. Thanksgiving was a couple of days ago, so I'm not sure if it really counts. My family likes to wait for holidays to die. As sad as it is to know that she's gone, she was in end stage renal failure and her body just couldn't do it anymore. She's back with her husband that she lost so many years ago and for that, I cannot be sad. She will be missed and I am sad for my own loss but that is no reason to forget to celebrate her life.
One day... one day I'll write a post that might actually be good again. Maybe even positive or witty, or laced with my usual sarcasm. Right now it's looking a bit questionable, but you never know.
So, while I'm attending calling hours and going to the funeral, I can search for a place to live along the way. I really am going to be living in my car, aren't I?

it seems life is not set to allow us enjoy our time without posing an ugly face afterwards... sorry abt yr aunt LW. It so happens everyday worldwide but it is so sad when it comes upon the ones we know. may her soul rest in peace & so shall your soul find a house for the time being :-)
No you aren't. Stop it.
Looks like life is wearing those bunny slippers and saying, "I could have sworn I heard you ask"
That is life. Full of endings and beginnings. So sad to hear about your aunt. I think by moving to the other hospital, you are finally going to kick life back solidly!!! and just b.t.w. you are not going to live in your car!!!
awww sorry about your aunt!!
at least you had a fun night out though :)
I'll keep my fingers crossed that you find a decent place ASAP!!
Sorry to hear about your aunt, but agree with what you said, life should be celebrated. Oh, and purple haze beer? I like the look of that! Sounds like a good night out!
livewire- I'm sorry to hear about your aunt. But as you said, you will be able to celebrate her life through memories. :)
Sorry to read about your Aunt...even when it's expected, it's never an easy thing to go thru, know what I mean?
You know how I feel about the subject of death and dying so I better don’t say anything here. Just wanna say sorry about your aunt :(
But in regard to sleeping in your car, I still think it’s a bad idea.
Great pix dear and I’m going to try those Abita Purple Haze raspberry wheat beer thing this weekend… yummy!
Condolences also. Though I think you're right, that given how your aunt loved her husband, she's probably happier now that she's with him. (That and I'm just an incurable romantic to think that way.)
Anyway, all your posts are all good so I wouldn't worry about it. ;-)
Dr O2 - Thanks, and you know, maybe she'll put in a good word for me now and I'll find a place... =)
Anne - Hopefully not; just getting very, very edgy.
Kyknoord - I wouldn't doubt that one for a moment. Guess things like that go in phases. I hope...
Buddess - Thanks, and you're right, it's a cycle. Of course I can't live in my car silly... where whould I put my computer? lol
Kitty - Ah yes, fun and death. How strangely they can go hand in hand. Thanks for the crossed fingers!
Motor - Thanks, and... I just received some lovely bottle of brandy as a going away gift from one of the guys - that may aid in the celebration! ;) Oh, you really have to try the Purple Haze...and let me know if you do!
Jeff - Thank you; and you know, she has given our whole family many memories. We're lucky in that respect.
Stacy - Thanks Stacy. Yeah, it's not easy for us, but for her, the hard part is over with all the pain. Knowing that makes it easier somehow.
Farzad - Thanks, I appreciate yur thoughts. Yeah, there's not shower facilities in my car (go figure) so I'll have to go the traditional route. If you get the Purple Haze, please let me know what you think of it. Very different; very good! =)
Banzai - Thanks for the thoughts. It's been 40 years since she lost him - their reunion has been far too long in the making. =)
Sorry for your loss LW - it's been a rough year for you, huh?
But... Love the slippers!
Good luck this week for everything - moving, the funeral, everything.
You know where to find us.
For your Aunt:
Fear no more the heat o' the sun;
Nor the furious winter's rages,
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages
William Shakespeare, excerpt from Cymbeline (Act IV, Scene II)
Everybody dies....but your hope needn't.
Six simple words somebody said to me once and I was annoyed with them as they felt so crass at the time. I've come to realise that they're practical, compassionate, life affirming and, above all, true. May they help you.
If you were nearer you could crash here for as long as you need.......might just be a slight hassle commuting each day though. Well, more like impossible to actually do.
Sorry for your loss.
I'm sure you've already put that beer to a good home.
Terri - It's been rough, but I'm used to things being kind of strained. Yeah, the slippers say so much, don't they!? =)
Jason - Thank you so much for sharing that.
Carpy - My hope is a shaky thing anyway, but I can easily see the wisdom in those words. I'd love to crash at your place as long as Garg wouldn't mind... but I think you're right - the commute would be hell.
Sappho - Lol... I like the way you think! =) My blog reading is so sporadic right now but I'll definitley make it back your way!
Jay - Thanks. Uh, beer? What beer {burp}? =)
Oi! You! Stop depriving us of your life and get writing again!
Sorry to hear about your aunt. Hope things are ok there.
Nomad - Lol... depriving you? If my ramblings sustain you, I've got a phone number for a good therapist! =) Thanks for the words about my aunt. As far as things? Well, they suck, but oh well.
