You're fortunate you know your job well enough to run on autopilot for a bit if you have to.
Your undercoating/Scotchguarding sales might slip a little but that's OK.

Yeah, whatever. I won't get fired.

I've done it 21,000 times.

I'm sitting over here, not posting. Because what is there to say?

I think about you all often, and wish I could help make it better.

Youre right about the blame. It's not helpful, really

I would take some comfort knowing that she knew the pain she was causing, which means that she knew she was loved. And that she loved you.

It doesn't remotely explain why, but it's something.

I don't want to grasp for rationale. Or even comfort. It's been a week, and it's healing.

Seeing the note only gave me a visual of the scene. I feel so bad for my son who was there when she did it. Just the note gutted me.

But, my guts are all dry and frayed anyway, so.

I had posted the pic, but took it right down to spare y'all that reaction.

Getting through it.

"There" as in "in the house," right? I really hope he didn't (unknowingly) watch her ingest it...

No. He was down in his room in the basement. He came up when he heard yelling after Ripley told Shelby to call 911.

He also sent me a mock obituary she had done. Presumably for a college assignment. She was survived by her mother, her brother and her dog. Dated October 2028. Cause of death, falling into the grand canyon.

I must have been dead already by then.

This is eating my ass.

Holy Fucking Shit, I assumed they just found her after the event

DO NOT let this eat your ass. If it's mock and/or a college assignment, it's fiction.

My best friend in high school told every foreign language examiner that her mother was a pilot and her father was dead. Neither were true, but she got shorter exams with fewer unprepped questions than everyone else....
