It has been a year without my mother, two years (mostly) with corgiS (I have plural corgwn! Yay me!) and... sheesh, how many without my father? It's odd - I remember the whole sequence of events, I remember the day (the fear)... but not the year. It has to be at least... Goddess bless, 20 years plus? He never got to meet Medeni, and she was born in '86. Da, Oct. 30th; Ma, somewhere in the mythical space between Samhain and All Souls'; Meissa and Gemma, November 1st. And need I mention

It's almost as crowded as March 1st.
I didn't get to really do anything for the holy day itself, although amusingly when I went to get dog food I kept thinking 'well of course people have it off, it's a holiday'. Today the dogs in general and the girls in specific got a special lunch - two cans of their new kosher lamb&rice, plus an egg and a big spoonful of garlic all sauced together with organic chicken broth and mixed with high-quality kibble. I think Meissa feels full for once (she's been on something of a diet). The little starveling even updated her journal,

The night I mostly spent on Second Life in a very weird (appropriately so) and ambiguously-persona'd mood - more 'me' than either of the people expected there. Then I got into an RP faceoff with some hungry lycans. I'm afraid I've alarmed friends and acquaintances. :D Fictionally, at least. It wasn't reverent, but it was... Halloweeny.
And the laundry's still not done. *wink*

Date: 2007-11-01 11:57 pm (UTC)All Souls/All Saints is such a full holiday -- both in itself, and in the focused reflection on the year past. And instead of getting reflective and mauldin, I should go read Meissa's blog, right? %D
HUGS, Corgi!
