Not a Surprise, But -

[omorka]

My mother called me at the school at 7:40 this morning.

My paternal grandmother died. The Irish Old New Orleans Belle. The one from whom my witchy blood comes, if indeed I have any. She's been seriously ill for a while now, but we didn't expect this so soon.

Apologies to anyone with whom I had made plans for this weekend - they'll have to be postponed until Sunday or later. The funeral is Saturday, in Hometown (of course), and I'm just trying to get plane tickets home in time right now. I might be back by Sunday evening, and if I am, I'll desperately need Pagan company, having spent Samhain and El Dia de los Muertos dealing with the Catholic side of the family. More likely, I won't be back until Monday.

I'm probably not going in to work on Monday even if I am back in town.

This whole Saturn return thing really sucks.

Oh, sweetie, I am so sorry.
You and your family will be in our thoughts this weekend. Do be safe. When it all gets to be too much, just think of all of us and we'll be there.

Condolences on your loss

and if you want to come by for tea and cookies and pagan day of the dead stuff/ CUUPS business stuff -- I'll be glad to host it, or we can meet someplace.
