Don't even really know @NatureLover
I think the take away is that he started back on the thinners too soon. He seems to be on the up now 🤞
What a time, what a day 🤦

I don't know whether to cry or scream...I just feel so blerghhhh. Emotionally and physically exhausted. I feel like I'm in a team but I'm the only one playing...I want off this roller coaster, I never got on expecting this. Seriously why can't I have a "charmed life", be a "kept woman" even have a happy marriage for God sakes, something!!!!! *Sigh. Then I remember there's worse off and I retreat, shutup and try to sleep 😔

😔 sorry to hear @pancakes
They're good. Together tonight. Son has no power due to storms and power outage so staying here tonight. Is nice to have them both together again 🙏

Aw @Anastasia that sounds so nice--not the power outage and storms, but having them back in the house for a bit, hopefully not long enough to mess it up and eat all your food though haha
i have been sitting here listening out for the tree that's right behind the window. A limb came down a few hours ago, worried the rest is going to follow if the wind doesn't let up

Oh gosh, stay safe @pancakes storms can be nasty. The one from the weekend squashed my son's flatmates car!!! All of their food went off and they have been without any power for two days so far.
I hope nothing comes of the wind there tonight 🙏
I'm going to shut my eyes and switch my brain off. Please take care. Love you lots PC 💙
