I'm an orphan!
2007-06-25 18:56Silver lining: I can now do whatever I want on holidays.
I expect the main bit of not having the old house and parents to go *to* on holidays will hit me sometime later. Anyway, yeah, my mother died this afternoon. I think I'm okay... actually, main feeling right now is relief that it's over; the past week has been pretty hellish, with her not talking or drinking and wasting away. Relief, and "OMG I can leave the house again. For hours at a time. And make noise."
Soon, to actually confront cleaning things up, and not spend days reading or on the Internet or watching the Netflix pile. But more immediately, "away, to Ethiopian food!" Though it's getting lateish with travel time and all.
[Edit: and both legs hurt when I walk. I'll hope this is from too much running on my out of shape legs, and not bone cancer making its move. Given my genes, full cyborgization looks like a nice move.]
