This has resulted in a jello day...both feeling like jello and trying to move through it.

Feel better Foxee. Sending good juju and vibes your way. ✌️

Went to the dr yesterday, he said the stress I'm under has gotten to the point that it has contributed to my high blood pressure rising even higher which has contributed to my headaches I've had all week. He gave me stronger hpb meds and some pain pills. Feeling better today. Being a caregiver was bad enough, then two window a/c's failed when it was 107 outside, then the dishwasher died, then our 20 year old car went to that auto graveyard in the sky. Spent a lot of money. Good news, put our stimulus payment to practical use. I was surprised when we got it (Foxee, we in a contest about who is suffering the most?:blackeye:)

No contest! You win, believe me. I worked out the kinks pretty much over the course of the day. That just sounds like everything went to pot at your place all at once. Yikes!

Guess I won't grump about the fact that they shipped my cardiac medication to Illinois twice before it made it to the proper place...

My son graduated high school today. It was a well organized affair, with groups of 20 people (family) allowed into the auditorium, and spaced appropriately. 5 students at a time were let in, walked-up, got their diploma, had their picture taken, and walked out.
The whole thing is taking four days. The AV geeks are going to stitch the whole thing together to present a cohesive event on video.
Afterward, we took our son out to eat, then took pictures at the grade and middle schools he went to. In two weeks, he's taking a trip to Yellowstone with some friends.

God, they grow-up quick.

Shipping and delivery are crazy right now but oh my gosh that's scary. :(

Congrats to your son and to you! Parenting is a tough gig and you've got him this far. That's no small thing.

How'd today go...I got some more practice dealing with a contentious, difficult person to kick off the workday. Survived!

Then my client wanted to go adventuring in his wheelchair which tends to tip backward if he goes up to steep of a grade so I got a nice workout holding the back of the chair to make sure he didn't roll down the hill.
In the meantime...eaten by bugs but at least that's one way to lose a little weight.

The client wanted to wander over to a relative's house to 'tell him about himself' which I managed to discourage. His wife was doing enough off-the-rails screaming for everybody today so it was a minor victory to keep him from ranting at someone else.

I was delighted to get to leave and came home to my kiddos who hung out with me a bit in the A/C and chatted and kept me company. Felt better than any millionaire you could name.

Poor hubster came home in the mood to yell about life a little bit, thanks to kids listening to me I was all set to listen and sympathize.

We ate spaghetti. We ate ice cream.

All in all, it's a win.

Take heart midnightpoet, you got all this over at once. The rest of 2020 will be yours to love - I hope!

Winston, congrats on a job well-done (I mean your's). I survived four of those ceremonies and the leaving was like warp speed. I still had things to teach, I thought, but had lost my audience. They flew, they soared, and it's been a while but now they see me through new eyes. Your boy will too, but be patient. He has to find himself first, will soon see you in him, and be grateful for a dad such as you. It's all according to plan. I have eleven grandchildren now and my own children are like I was back then, being proud but finding it hard to see them fly.

Good job, you!

I am so impressed. I would not have the patience to tolerate another's writing style. Sharing ideas, yes. I'm a "pantser" too, so the outline would be out of the question for me. How would that work - if he does and you don't?

This year has hurt me.
I am a healer by trade. A Reiki Master/Teacher. I am an Empath. So I cry/laugh often. I was talking to my BFF last night and told her that everything that has transpired, I felt I myself have fallen into a depression. How can I heal others if I am broken? I guess we go back to square one and breathe. Start with a breath. Sit. Forgive yourself. Get up. Offer a non gloved hand to another. Sit with them. Help them breathe. Get up together then find another human. Keep offering healing.
Maybe that’s how we get thru this...
