Hello @Determined what a lovely message, thank you 🙏
Yes we both need that. How did you go with your assignment did you get it done?
In response to: Re: Trying to stay Sane

Assignment submitted thanks @Anastasia
Disappointing effort but should be enough to get me over the line. If not... don't plan on doing it again. Associate degree instead of bachelor degree is what itl be.
Have a casual pool job I want to apply for by the end of next week that is customer service oriented. That could be promising.
Other than that I have some work that will see me to the end of the year so grateful for that.

Today I learned that Dad's cancer has become worse through his bl👀d results. He had a scan today and the results won't be revealed till next week. In the mean time he needs an iron infusion.
He is short of breath when he talks and goes to bed daily now for afternoon sleeps. I feel so sad and so alone.
Can't think who to tag sorry 😔

Really sorry to hear that @Anastasia 😔💔
Low iron causes breathlessness and fatigue, so the iron infusions will help with that. My dad has them every 2-3 months.
No doubt you are all very anxious about getting your dads scan results from specialist next week.
I do understand your sadness and sense of aloneness. Its a really difficult time for you. And not just with your dads cancer, but also your boy, your work, your relationship with your bf, etc.
You may be feeling very alone right now, but you know all of us here will do anything in our power to help you through.
Love, care and a big hug to you.
