On journal titling....

[van_champion]

 It only just now occurred to me that now I could, at least in theory, title my ongoing work "49 Going On Dead"....

Except, of course, for the fact that mbarrick thought of that first. Also, I don't *feel* "Going On Dead" at all. Rather more like "I Should Be Dead, But Thankfully Am Not. Now What?" Which is a little too wordy for a journal title.

I am dealing with the effects of my father's passing, and that has inspired me to make preparations for my end. And some affairs have in fact been put in order. But I don't plan to leave, not right away. And some things... came back. More on that later.

You're really taking about the same sort of vibe I was actually going for. So many things went wrong back-to-back and I was in that "I should be dead, but thankfully am not. Now what?" space. So on the road to recovery my own morbid sense of humour kicked in.
