This has been a long, weird week. Am i glad it's over? Well that's a loaded question. Last Monday the process of getting new flooring started. See, the landlady is having tile floors installed. Phil & the boys were shifting furniture around the house each day. It's an enormous mess & stressful for me to be in such a chaotic environment. i have an online class i'm taking & with the mess at home i've had to find other places to do that. Luckily, we have a great coffee shop in town that has fast WiFi. At work, there is more change. Two of my favorite co-workers are leaving. One is retiring. i am so happy for him, but dread losing him as a teammate. The other one was poached by one of my best clients. He's been with us since he graduated from University. He was a manager and we have no one internally who can take on that role. We'll manage of course, but he was a big part of our recent successes. So, Friday was emotional to say the least. The tiling crew, two guys, finished late Saturday afternoon. We worked until 8 or 9 putting things away. For the first time since Monday night, everyone was in their own beds. Today, i went thru a box of Swiffer dusters cleaning. There is dust everywhere! i have swept the floors and lightly mopped them to get grout residue off them. We are grateful to have the landlady we do, & the floors look nice. But it took a toll on all of us. Yesterday would have been my nephew's 21st birthday. i called my brother to tell him they were in my thoughts. it was a hard conversation. What do you say in those situations? Lastly, today is the anniversary of my mom's passing. i have missed her. much more than i thought i would. i talked to my dad & my sister today. They both sounded rough. For the first time in a long time, i wanted to be with my sister. So, yeah. A weird week. As for being glad it's over, i think i am. thanks for reading

i'm always happy to read for you it's a wonderful experience and i've learned from it as well.💛 if i were to make rainbow waffles, i might just use rainbow sprinkles. the only other alternative seems to be different colors of batter in piping bags and that would be an almighty pain. 🙄

i was pleasantly surprised to see these two guys again! i'm glad they're doing OK and the farm is getting noticed for what they offer. and Henry is a new hero. we need more people to stand up like he did. now.... rainbow waffles 🌈...where is my waffle iron 🍴

@Kitt it's been a strange week and it's not quite over i'll be back more next week until then, take care

well done Wayne, well done! Phil and i would frequently go out for drinks and snacks with one of the engineers i worked with and her wife it was hard to watch the looks, but we all just kept on with being us i see in my kids' friends more acceptance than when we were younger and i'm glad for it glad you were inspired to write this

oh k! that was delightful! it's so hard to do a fully realized short story, and you did it!

@Mikiesboy & @Wayne Gray i look forward to reading the story by @kbois but tonight it's WAY past this girl's bedtime.

good morning this was in my affirmations today

@kbois may i suggest a gratitude jar? it's been helpful for me & requires less effort than a gratitude journal. and now goodnight Sirs & friends. i've been fighting a headache this evening & have been told it's early to bed. i hope to see you tomorrow

i can't take the darkness away, but i can sit with you until it passes xo
