Thank you @Lee71 🙏
I really appreciate that. 💖
I'm okay, just very low. Feeling a bit sorry for myself I guess. Silly. And I tend to say the wrong things then, and get myself in strife. 😳 I need to know when I shouldn't be here. Now may be the time.
I hope you get a better quality sleep tonight Lee. And I hope your Dr apt goes well tomorrow. What time is yours? My GP apt is at 9.30am.
Thanks @Lee71 ... Its been nice chatting thru the day.
If you are still around @NatureLover good night to you also.
Emelia 🌸

That must be pretty hard 😞 including having to pretend that you're OK (I know the feeling).
Thinking of you with your doctor's appointment this morning...
