oh @Mikiesboy it all looks so delicious! and your kitchen is so bright!

good morning 🌄!

thank You Sir hope You are doing well

good night all sleep well

i needed this thanks

... sigh ...... not very strong today. before 10 i told my manager i was peopled out & was putting myself on "Do Not Disturb" i just can't handle dealing with people. i find myself apologizing for stuff that's not my fault or out of my control. so glad to be working from home so i can deal with this in relative privacy..... thanks for being a sounding board...

He's off for the next couple of days but he tries to keep his sleep schedule. He normally goes to bed by 2:00, gets up at 9:30.

that is so true Kitt!

best compliment EVER from Number One Son..."Well damn. I can't go to bed. Ma's making roast. I'll just nap. Wake me for dinner." guess who got up, had two platefuls of roast & vegetables? "Thanks Ma. That was worth getting up for." hope y'all are doing well

UPDATE.... it's cooling off nicely. we apparently got a new (some technical thingy) part that a crane lifted to the roof. that's very nice of you!

the one day i come to the office and the AC is out 71% Relative Humidity; 74.4 F (23.5 C)

😁🤐

goodnight everyone

What a wonderful way to unwind after work yesterday! So glad these little vignettes keep popping up.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@Ryan Jones glad you saw the doctor. it's always best to get on top of these things. my day turned into an angsty teen drama. but i turned it around by 3:30-ish Phil's going to grill some nice looking pork chops & i'm doing the somewhat famous (around these parts anyway) Instant Pot risotto hope to see y'all later

have a good day everyone

yes... there are parts of the process that are painful xo

@kbois i think you did a wonderful job! i'm so glad you shared this with us.

Sanvello has been really helpful. we need to start valuing mental health as much as we do physical. we all see our doctor & dentist regularly, but what about a therapist? people are afraid to talk openly about it. if that were to happen... sorry stepping off my soapbox

thanks @kbois it's been inspiring, i think that's the feeling, to watch them navigate this new family dynamic. thanks for taking the time to read & leaving a comment.

Sirs and friends just stopping in to say goodnight, & rest well

@Mikiesboy thanks for the kind words. We've tried to do right by our kids letting our kids spread their wings is always hard, harder when you've experienced the trauma they did. thanks for taking the time to read and comment xo

let me know if i can help

Today, my younger brother is the bravest person i know. 2 years ago, my nephew was killed on his first day of university. Today, he and my sister-in-law, took my niece to school to begin her freshman year. What makes this so much more than just hard, is that not only is this a reminder of that day in 2019, but my niece is out of state. 848.2 miles; 1365.0456 km; 12 hours; 29 minutes; two days by car; away from anyone who knows her. my Husband and i talked about this on Wednesday when they began their trip. We can’t begin to imagine the painful memories this drags up. How hard it is to leave your only child that far away. i can’t stop thinking about it. Heck i had a hard time when Daughter went to the coast with her high school culinary team. Number One Son is in Denver this weekend, and i’ve already tracked his flight to make sure he landed safely. i’ve reached out to him, offered him virtual hugs, let him know how proud i am of him and his wife. And how proud i am of their daughter, for following her dream and working through this grief. i imagine it's pretty damn scary for her too. It’s important, i think, to tell people things like this. If you’ve done something hard, whether other people see it as hard or not, be proud of yourself. i’m proud of you too.
