Well, it's over.

Mom died on the 11th.

Let me just say that dementia is absolutely, utterly, and entirely wretched and cruel.

I'm sure I'll go down that road if a heart attack doesn't get me first and I just hope we get all this stupidity in the end-of-life laws fixed before I get that far.  My pets get treated with more dignity and mercy.

I'm relieved.  I'm sad.  I'm really pissed off too.  Really.

I've got 249 messages to answer in my inbox...and no time or temper for them.  I just keep looking at them and not answering.    Thanks for all the well wishes...I promise I shall answer all of you when I'm not in such a snit.
