I know my angel, that is why i light one whenever i go out to the shed, it amakes me think of you now. 🙂
Karen, i knew it would not go away by itself, ummmm, can you get to a 24 hour surgery? i am sure their is one in your area, the longer you leave it the worse it will get. please try, they will be able to give you a few anti biotics until you can get to the pharmacy tomorrow.
hugs my angel, i am holding your hand, we will get through this together 🙂
remember you can't fall with me holding your hand.

Sorry @NikNik,
I am trying to be happy, exhaustion makes me struggle with though, i will try harder to help Karen.
Tonight, well we just had a sever storm go through, large hail hit south of us, we had bad lightening, and a little rain, very lashing though, it is cooling down here, the smell of rainwater is devine 🙂
the frogs are singing and the farm animals look very unhappy with being wet.
Thank goodness summer is almost over. i am a winter person, i can't handle the heat.
take care
Jacques

No need to apologies Jacques - I don't expect you to be 'happy'.
We want this to be a place to discuss how you're feeling, but when anyone in the forums talks about feeling helpless and their feelings are not going away or escalating, it's a sign that they need further appropriate assistance as well as the forums.
Are you the type of person who loves or hates storms?
I think I recall you saying you like them...

Yes i understand, but i can have days or even weeks of feeling low, to me it is like a hurricane, i just have to ride it out, let all the swirling to stop.
i am just looking out for Karen, she is my best friend, i don't like to see her so low and in physical exhaustion and pain.
Oh i love storms, when i lived in Brisbane 20 years ago it used to rain almost every day, i loved it so much, now it is lucky to rain a few times per year.
I cherrish it when it come here, i often just stand out in it, i did tonight, it was so nice to feel the drops on my face.

Hi @Shaz51,
I am so sorry i ment to get back to you, i am so rude, i am taking each day as it comes, it is nice to be here with friends, this forum is my only real view of the world.
Yes he was a professional Photographer, he mainly did weddings and funerals, he has done a lot of ocean photos, we have some hanging on the walls. no he did not take photos of storms, but i think he did some time laps of the stars, which looked pretty awesome, i think they are lost, as i can't find them.

:my hubby loves doing time lapse , i have done some too but not as good as my hubby

Thank you @Shaz51,
Yes it is good fun, dad would never let me touch his camera, it was very expensive, he had so many lenses and filters, i don;t have any decent camera equipment to take photos, only my smart phone 😄
it must be so much fun trying to get close to animals, have you thought of doing a photo book for him of all his work? my cousin is right into photography and i saw a photobook it looks so neat, all the photos are printed into the pages.
It would be a nice thing to show visitors of your hubbys work. something you can both be proud of too 🙂

@Jacques - I have seen glossy picture books of photos purely taken by smartphones!
Cameras in phones are getting pretty good!!
Hi @Shaz51 - I didn't know your husband was a photographer!
