My aunt has passed

She finally died this morning. It's a relief in so many ways. She was literally starving to death at the end.

Thanks to all of you for your support over the last few weeks. I've appreciated it. That's the type of stuff that makes me not really care much about LJ's changes (and that makes Yahoo, LJ, Twitter and FB who have done massive changes in the last 2 months.) I'm here for you guys. NOT what the design of the journal looks like.

Happy Yule

To all my friends who celebrate.

might be absent for a little while

Obviously between my aunt's death and the holidays but mostly I found the straw that broke the camel's back. In recent years, my anxiety is kicked off by conflict and hostility and since my flist is abounding with that right now,it's affecting me. (not that I'm not saying it's unjustified, between Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter and now LJ changing things that didn't need changing I'm frustrated too) But you know what, I just have other things I really need to deal with now besides this.

That said, if you have something you think I'd like to see, link me up by all means. I could use the distraction.

And thank you everyone for all the condolences. I appreciate it. I really do.

Today wasn't that bad. Mostly I just worked on my lectures and then made cookies and baklava with mom who wanted to work more and think about it less.

Then we watched my netflix rentals Captain America and I have Iron Man 2 as well. I was thinking jojo_kun would love it.

ETA - it was a crappy Yule even without my aunt's passage. The winter solstice was marked by 60 degree weather and a thunder storm. it's like nature, this is not the summer solstice
