The Last Trigger Warning

Previously, I've tried to post warnings when a blog post might cause -- uh, shall we call it unhappiness? -- unhappiness. Well, I think we've reached the point where pretty much any and all of them might fall on the sadder side of the scale. So here's your warning: Things may be sadder than usual from time to time and from here on out.

Additionally, a heads up that you might start hearing from some other people in the near future. I figure the last week is far from as a bad as it's going to get, but blogging was just a bit more than I could manage. So before things get too much further I'm going to give at least one or two additional folks access so that they can at least post updates when I'm too tired, or too drugged, to do it. 

Finally, like all things involved with dying, I had some plans for how to ride (write?) out this blog that just aren't going to happen. The thing I'm rapidly learning about dying, even when you know exactly how it's coming, is that you don't know anything about how it's coming. Things you thought would never happen do, while the things you thought were guaranteed to happen don't. 

Even in a case like mine, we're making it up as we go, and responding to new constraints as they arise. Which is not what I expected but then, as I'm learning, what the hell do I know about anything?
