plus a brief grief update

[pantryslut]

People keep checking in and asking how I am doing, which is lovely and thoughtful of you all. I'm doing OK. I spent a few days on a cloud of denial and now reality is slowly seeping in like groundwater, to mix a metaphor. I'm following closely the community effort to get Sparkly's things in order and to assist her husband Bones in whatever he needs as he recovers. Should anyone like to donate money to said effort, here's a link:

The Bones and Sparkly Legal and Memorial Fund

But mostly I wanted to say thank you to you folks collectively, in part since I haven't had the brain to do it individually.
