and divided what was mine

First of all, thanks. I'd say more but that'll come later when I'm back in numb but functioning mode. I did want you to know I appreciate the comments and thoughts. I always kind of thought it was a little too little to say to other people before, but being on the other side? Yeah. The little things aren't so little.

I had that worded more eloquently in my head (you can't disprove this, although my track record probably begs to differ), but I checked facebook and watched the cousins and family members appear. Some kept it simple. And some have expressed worry for their immediate family members and the remaining aunt/uncle. The rational part of me says this is normal. The part of me apparently at the wheel this morning is wishing to slam their heads into walls or counters. With a couple of exceptions most of them hadn't kept in touch so twisting it even just a tad vexes me, but maybe it's just a bit of "this isn't about you" combined with not wanting to truly say anything over there because I don't think my brother wants his ex to know, and while I'm sure it's only a matter of time if she doesn't already know, I feel tied by the not wanting to be the one to say something.

If you followed that, I've got a slice of key lime pie for you.

*shrug*

If you want to share in my "...wtf?" reaction, there's this gem from my aunt: My brother-in-law passed away last night. RIP Terry, the pain's all gone now :)

Smilie face not appropriate, woman.

( Yesterday. This morning. )

Plus side: My room is cleaner than it's been in quite awhile. Next we'll discuss things that make me happier. Until then, enjoy evil!Ghoulia.
