Kind of grey and meh here. Windy but not exceptionally so. Nursing a headache from last night but it is almost gone.

Marking a decade since Dad's passing (Nov. 11, 2014). I got the news right about now, in fact. I had been at the LTC in the morning but he was alive when I left to grab some lunch and then head back to London, figuring there was nothing more to do that day. My brother called just as I pulled into a favourite fast food place, a South Side Burger where I had eaten with Dad once or twice. So I had a quick bite and headed back. Said our goodbyes then convened at brother's place to start the funeral, estate, etc. work. Went back to Kitchener the next day to meet with his pastor and other business. Thanks again for all those here who posted in the condolences thread that someone (I forget who) started.

My Dad's passing was similar, just left the hospital and pulled into the driveway, and was told he had passed shortly after I left.
Hope your day goes well and your memories bring joy.
 
There are claims that there are no essences that resemble holes in the heart ... said by one psychologist to result from abstract empathy ... i.e, apathetic?

Cursed ignorance that we have to handle with kid gloves because of obvious reason ... something's abstract ... not quite all there in some definitions ... like a deficient God?

Impossible say the blind believers ... they can't see it ... Caerus? That's a dark and ancient word ... resembles ceruse and Kairos ... issues from a wound ... maybe primal or pagan ... ole sparks ...
 
My Dad waited to die until my mother had left to go out for a quick smoke. When she got back, he was gone. He served in WW2 from the age of 17 to 23 to unfortunately predictable results, so today is a very unpleasant day for me. We watched the service on the telly.

Very windy here as well.
 
My mother waited until my brother and his family arrived in London from Halifax. She died when we were all around her. While I wish it weren't the last memory of her, I'm glad she was surrounded by love when she died.

My father essentially died in his sleep. He had a brain bleed and was taken to the hospital. He was unresponsive when we had a Zoom type call facilitated by the doctor and nurse. He died quietly a couple days later.

Hey, I'm younger than you and I am often in my PJs by dinner time. I shower after my post-work exercise routine and then just slip into PJs unless I have a reason to get dressed (e.g. tonight I had to put the garbage out and then have a Skype call).
 
This was a quiet day. Hubby went up-island to set up a fifth wheel for friends who are returning from a Europe trip late tonight. I spent the time alone finishing two books. One was an ebook and thr other a real book. I was almost done both so it was am easy task. Ebook has been returned to the library. The real book will go to the sharing library at the park.
 
My Nightware is varied and may includes nighties, nightshirts, sweats, shorts, t-shirts, shucks even birthday suit. Depends on time of year, temperature of house and mood

My great nieces and great nephews love getting 'jamas sewn by me.

They are great for lounging
 
The best thing to come out of the pandemic is the acceptance of loungewear as outdoor wear.

I bought a sort of lounge pants from Costco. They are so nice. I immediately bought 2 more. When I'm home, I'm usually in them. The are my happy pants.

Everyone needs happy pants if you ask me..
 
Good morning! cold here, really for about the first time this season. We talked of wind, the passing on of parents, and PJ's and loungewear, among other things. Quite the mix of subjects. We will continue to discuss these, as well as other things that may arise over coffee, tea, and squares, as we gather round the Coffee Cart. Coffee is ready, tea water boiling, squares artfully arranged on the platter. Come in when you have the chance, and join the conversations!

You've been told on Jae even though you tried to cover up alternately ... that cloud of power of the gods of tyranny!

Like a storm on the pool of psyche ... observe the vapors ...
 
I love the idea of happy pants! Every day I enjoy putting together an outfit to wear for the day. Most of my clothes are hand-me-downs from my Aunt who died in 2015 (and some of the clothes she had gifted me long before that!) I even have hand-me-downs from my mom. None are fancy, but I love to play with the colours, mix and match, and put things together that may never have been together before! Yesterday I bought two turtle neck sweaters on sale...The hand-me-downs were beginning to have droopy necks. I felt guilty spending money on new clothes.
