Yeah, I found my skirt and petticoat...
Monday, 13 September 2004 01:12 am...not that I got to wear them.
I don't know what to write here, so I'm being stupid and sarcastic and weird all over LJ. I want to just write Insert the bad news here, but that would probably backfire. People this afternoon all understood what I meant when I dropped the phone and burst into tears, but that doesn't translate well to text, and I'm too tired to cry that loudly now anyway.
My mum died.
You can comment or not comment, or whatever. I'm still crap at phones but I like texts and email. I seem to be coping okay. I think Catriona and Yves hugged me so much I stayed together pretty well when I heard the news. They are the best thing since sliced bread and should be generally adored.
I am either going to read no LJ or all the LJ ever over the next week or so, so assume nothing. I'll probably want to hear your news, though. If I don't I just won't come online.
If you knew my mother and have any particular memories of her (I can currently think of only about three of you who ever met her, so this is a smaaaaaaall group) I would be glad to hear anything you have to say. No pressure.
Thank you.
Oh, and thanks to Janet for being great and facilitating talking on Saturday. And strawberries. Means a lot now.

But no *hugs* please.
