The Drop in Centre

@Fae Briona I'm sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. You have my sympathies. It's not easy losing your mother at any age. Take care of yourself and remember that it's OK to be selfish during your time of grief.

@Fae Briona i'm so sorry to hear this news, sending you thoughts of peace.

[Kitt]

Be well Fae. Take time for yourself.

[Fae Briona]

Thank you all. Not sure where the duplicate post came from; that wasn't intended.

My best friend called this afternoon. Her husband had been answering her txts the last couple of days.  She's been in the hospital w. an infection around her "hardware" in her back. Over the last week she coded twice.  ☹️  Glad she was sounding better today. Don't need another person passing right now.

Sorry to hear about your mom, @Fae Briona. Losing someone is never easy.

Take care of yourself. When offered, let others take care of you too. I'm glad you've got SP.

Work has been challenging as hell this week. Finally done with it for a couple of days, and now sipping on a glass of wine.

I hope you're all as well as you can be.

Finally done with it. Sums up my day nicely. I tendered my resignation today.

It's been a freaking challenging week all around Wayne. Enjoy your wine, enjoy your weekend and forget about the hell we call work. Have a glass for me, I'm afraid if I drink it'll trigger another mammoth headache. (and I would really love a shot or two of whiskey)

Congrats Kitt.

It takes courage, strength and a leap of faith to move on.

This was more like an act of self preservation. They were making me crazy.

@Kitt proud of you. it's been coming for years, stick to your guns and don't let them talk you into coming back. no job is worth the brain damage

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. 

I do need some ice cream.  It's a long week, but nothing like what you guys been through.  Busy with resume and stuff hoping will get a career this time. 

@Fae Briona @Kitt @Mikiesboy Hang tight.  Love is all around you.

Wonder where @JayT is....

I'm sure he's around here somewhere...probably lurking in the corner-in the shadows, doing who knows what? I heard rumors if you leave him offerings and praise him he will bless you with his presence

I didn't hear any praising of my name. I demand praising of my name. I want to hear "Oh Great, Wonderous, Wise, and Handsome Jay! We praise you and miss you so! Please grace us with your being. How could we ever live this long without you being ever-present," NOW!!!

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.

We are very sorry to hear this, Fae. 

 

If I should die and leave you here a while,
be not like others sore undone, who keep
long vigils by the silent dust, and weep.
For my sake – turn again to life and smile,
nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do
something to comfort weaker hearts than thine.
Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine
and I, perchance may therein comfort you.

Goodnight all.

I am happy to see this week come to an end. I learned the hard way that nearly a week of overdoing it on the ibuprofen will literally come back to kick you in the gut. I just can't win the pain management game this week. Tomorrow starts a new week and I'm hoping it will be better all around. 

[chris191070]

Good Morning all. Hope Everyone is well.

We are good here. A good day yesterday. The landlord had the roof repaired, we also got the fence and gate fixed at the same time. So a good day. 

Bright and Sunny today. Have a good Sunday everyone.
