*deep sigh*

Sooner or later (but not far along enough in the future as far as I'm concerned) a Dear Friend will die of cancer (or something related). It's gonna suck. IT = jaylake's death and the whole process leading up to it

In the meantime, all I can really do is try to be there/here/around as needed, to take mind(s) off the horribleness, to provide moral and logistical support as needed, blahblahblah Part of this though is making sure I keep MYSELF in good shape (emotionally, spiritually, physically) so I can be around for others w/out needing too much from those who need my help.

Thank goodness for having a good solid, wide support network myself. Times like these one needs a deep bench; luckily I've got one. Phew!

Got out this afternoon for The Last Unicorn w/Q&A by Peter S Beagle at the Hollywood Theater in Portland w/jaylake and B aka The Child. 'Twas a good experience.

Now: more laundry and list-making and packing for Thanksgiving (& Bonus Dickens Fest) in the Bay Area. Looking forward to seeing fambily 'n' friends and reconnecting and eating well andandand
