You know how they say it never rains, but it pours…that’s been the last couple weeks 😛 So much is going on!
Liz’s grandmother passed away early this morning. She told me at like 1:30 last night, but apparently it didn’t register because I rolled over and continued sleeping. Not my finest moment, I’m afraid. I was flabbergasted when she told me (again) in the morning. I do have a vague recollection of hearing the beginning of the report, which was that she’d stopped eating, but nothing after that.
Self depreciation aside, I can personally say that Grandma Ho was a badass. I remember her say that she was happy and proud to be alive every time I saw her. Very proud that she lived as long as she did, longer than anyone else she knew, I think. And she lived on her own for all except the last few years of her life. I have enormous respect for that. And I have enormous respect for how well taken care-of she was be her son, Liz’s dad, Lin. He’d see her at least every weekend when she was living on her own, and it was more often than that as her health began to decline and break down. My thoughts are with him especially today and tonight as I write this, as they are for the bear. The world has lost an incredible woman today.
Liz was out all day at Drag Con, something she’s been planning for since this time last year. She said she had a great time. In fact, I’m writing this entry a little late because she regailed me with stories about the day from beginning to end of all the queens she met, and the panels that they saw, and the stuff they all bought. I drove them first thing in the morning.
I passed out when I got home and slept for a couple more hours, then got up and took the pups out for a full walk. I then did some editing work, and then some Two Guys One Trek maintenance stuff while waiting for Josh to come over for podcastings. He was running woefully late, unfortunately, due to some stuff outside of his own control, and we only got through one episode. That means we’ll have catchup to do next week…but we can handle it. Just like I can handle catching up on my writing…which I JUST fucking realized I didn’t do today. That’s disappointing.
I’m just burning the candle on both ends, the top, the bottom, and the middle right now. Too much. I’ll figure it out, though. I will.
That’s all for tonight. Catch ya’ll on the flips.
