Hey Everyone, 

I'm back amongst the land of the living, sort of. Took the day off yesterday, a quiet environment and some extra sleep along with way too much ibuprofen managed to turn the headaches from an enraged tiger on a rampage to a pissed off kitten. Claws are still sharp though.

Got to work today, stepped in the office snd said 'why is it so hot in here'? Lo and behold the A/C for the front is out. Luckily the main community center is ok, so I set all 3 thermostats on 70, opened the double doors, and had maintenance get one of their industrial fans to blow the air down the hall. So far it's helped a lot. Heat and headaches don't mix well with me. It's a major trigger. 

So now I'm sitting here on my lunch and we're having a quick downpour. My car windows are open. I really really really need this week to be over. 

I wish we could reset our brains like @mollyhousemouse reset her computer. I hope your headaches are better molly.

@Fae Briona still sending peaceful wishes your way. I see myself in your shoes in the near future. 

@MichaelS36 I hope you and tim are doing ok. 

@rickproehl I  think if I woke up to jackhammer outside my window at any point in the past few days I'd be in jail on murder charges. 

I hope everyone is doing alright. This seems to be a pretty sucky week for a lot of us. Let's hope better days are coming soon.

We're okay here, thank you. You look after yourself.  It is a rough week for many of us. Please stay strong and know you can get through it.

Provided the you that is always wrong, never enough for the people around you, unable to instantly fix what others throw at you, and the one who is told constantly that they are not enough doesn't start to believe what those around you say.

It is always better to divest yourself from these sorts of people long before the possibility of belief can approach reality. I've come to realize these people project their own insecurities and lack of self worth onto others as a means of validating their perceived importance in the world. It's always better to remain silent and simply walk away while they are in mid sentence. It drives those types bonkers when you don't engage. 

Always remember you are enough.

Kitt, this is a lesson that can never be taught enough.

spyke, everyone needs to be reminded sometimes that they are enough, thanks. 

Today was the first day since last Sat that I woke up without a headache. The a/c at work was fixed by noon, so I'll take the two wins for the day. 

Have a good evening everyone.

[mollyhousemouse]

[mollyhousemouse]

I think Ashi's going to be a little jealous!

I know I am. It's been a while since I've had soft serve, I'm more of the chocolate dip with peanuts fan. Hmm, I miss the old local ice cream stands. 

Time for me to hit the hay. The headache seems like it wants to hover just on the edge of my brain. Maybe some sleep will push it away completely. Goodnight all.

Goodnight with happy dreams of a better tomorrow...

Personally, my DQ fave is the strawberry cheesecake blizzard. It’s been awhile...

Mom passed yesterday morning at 10:42 am CDT. Was a peaceful passing.

Brother and I spent more time at her apartment sorting through some things than we had intended, and he only made one obnoxious comment (which I somehow resisted thumping him w. my cane for having made).

He's supposed to call once the funeral home is available -- main guy had two funeral yesterday -- but there's no estimated time when that might happen.

SP has been my rock during this hole time; I wouldn't have made it without him, and have told him so.

Staying here at home today, then will drive back up to Stillwater tomorrow by myself. SP won't be able to go back this time, but that's ok. He's had to endure my family enough for one week. Most of the stuff is just going to be boxed up and dealt w. later but some of it will be donated.

@Fae Briona You have my deepest sympathies. I am glad your mom’s passing was peaceful and that you had SP by your side to support you. He may not be with you physically next time, but I know he’ll be with you in spirit and in your heart, and that will help carry you through. 

Take care  

[kbois]

@Fae Briona, you have my deepest condolences. Letting go is always hard no matter how old you are. I'm sure that you and SP will hold each other up in the days ahead. Having someone to be your rock, especially with having difficult family members makes a big difference. Cherish your memories of your mom and let them comfort you.

We're here if you need us. ❤

[rickproehl]

@Fae Briona so sorry to hear about your Mom’s death it is never easy to loose a parent. please know we all care about you during this time. Hang on to SP during this time of grief. Take care my Friend.

[chris191070]

@Fae Briona Sorry to hear about your Mum's death. Deepest Condolences.

Take Care.
