I don't know what to do with myself today. I'm feeling melancholic this weekend; tomorrow is my grandfather's death anniversary and though the date of his passing away is on the 15th, in my mind the day he left us is also today as it was on Saturday and I can't help but think back of where we were a year ago... it's like I'm in two places at once, here and there. I know the feeling is gonna pass and it's not as if I didn't think of my granddad a lot on a normal day, anyway, I miss him on a regular basis, think about him or my other grandparents a lot, but the first anniversary is always the hardest so I'm a bit sad today.

Since my plans with one of the best friends have been cancelled I'm staying home... I've read a bit - I'm starting the Thursday Next series recc'ed by

audrarose in one of her entries, except I kinda started with the third book. In any case, it promises to be all kinds of fun, and all kinds of brilliant too - I've watched the third episode of Dexter - man, I'm falling for it a little more each time, they'd better not cancel that show! - as well as an episode of Prison Break - don't know which one exactly, it's the one where Linc leaves Michael to go find LJ. Poor Michael, he was all sad and worried and lost and then he even got teary and oh, Michael! You've risked everything to save your brother and he keeps doing stuff like that... poor you! Oh and incidentally, that's also the episode where we realise that Mahone is seriously insane - not that we didn't know a bit before but now it's, like, officially official - and ends up killing Tweener. Sorry, I can't even miss the guy but still, he killed him! In cold blood and everything.... And now I'm watching a new repeat of Hustle on M6 and afterwards I'll watch the new Numb3rs.

Yes, tv shows are the equivalent of comfort food, totally. As for tomorrow I'll have brunch with the FP so that'll be lovely too; it'll make me focus on good things instead of bad ones...

Unrelated now, though it's also something good: we got our new batch of wood this morning - it was hell to put away but worth the effort as we're now ready for many beautiful fires in the fireplace. Autumn is here!

PS: LJ is usually quiet on the weekends but with, like, half of the flist having left on both Winchestercons, it's eerily quiet. Can't wait for them to come back with their gazillion squeeing reports...

I wish a had something smart to say to make you feel at least slightly better, but I'm no good at that stuff so...*hugs you tight*

Yes, yes they are and we're lucky to have them. Much healthier than a lot of other "comfort" stuff.

And the fire thing sounds lovely. Yay for cold.

It's episode 7. A great one - especially Mahone's behaviour omg! Too bad we have to wait another week for the next one...

Also, *hugs* for you and give some to the girls tomorrow.

*hugs*

Comfort food tomorrow!

*hugs* and....*more hugs*

*huge hugs* oh, honey! anniversaries are hard. *pets*

I hope you enjoy the book! All of them are wonderful -- if you like this one, definitely go back and read The Eyre Affair, b/c it's BRILLIANT.

There are two winchestercons?? I know about the one in Nashville...

I can totally relate to the feeling since my dad's anniversary is next weekend and I'm half dreading it, half afraid somehow I'll forget. *hugs hard* Happy comfort tv.

(((megahug))) Did you do anything special to commemorate your grandfather's death? How is the rest of your family dealing with it? (((morehugs)))

Je suis d'accord avec toi, le premier anniversaire de la perte d'un être cher c'est toujours le plus dure. HUGS.

The firsts of everything are always difficult, when you remember back and think, this time last year we were doing....

*hugs tight*

I'm glad you had your comforts to help you through.
