The Hunger Games is a very good film! Soul-crushing if you cling to pacifist ideals like I do. (And sitting in a chair for two-some hours without moving or being able to stretch my legs meant I hobbled out of the theatre. I love doing that, really.)

There was a limping squirrel trying to cross the street when Friend and I were driving home. I made her drive around it because watching it pull itself up onto the curb with obvious struggle was the most heartbreaking thing ever.

I hope you live another however-many-years, Dave the Squirrel.

Came home to funeral details! And by that I mean, an abrupt e-mail throwing a website at me and a thing that may possibly be a phone number. It was her birthday yesterday and she would have been only 66.

The funeral is the same day as Distant Worlds, which is about what I feared.

.... I don't feel very good right now.

I agree with the do not cancel your plans sentiment. Make a donation in a charity in the departed's name, call and express your condolences. Maybe take someone out for lunch or bring food over in a week or so. It's my experience that after a loss people tend to really need to be reminded of things like food when the whole event dies down.
