Re: not coping

So then a busy day @outlander

Hopefully you can at least rest in between your shifts.

Is someone looking after your Pop for you?

Re: not coping

That is hard @outlander Even when you don't have to look after him, he is still on your mind.

Re: not coping

I hope for your sake it settles down @outlander and you don't have to go anywhere. Just what you don't need.

Will be asleep soon myself.
