RITA'S CXLVI: What's a Sweetheart Like You Doin' in a Dump Like This?

"When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions."

Man, what a fortnight.

We lost Gran last Saturday, and have been sorting out the trip to Cornwall for the funeral which was Friday this week, alongside the arrangements for Charlies birthday tomorrow.

Then this morning I found out we've lost Grandad too. After 70+ years of marriage, its better this way, because they were only apart for 10 days. Still, its come as a bit of a blow.

They're going to have a joint funeral sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Oh man. You have my condolences.

Sorry, thehod. I will give you two hugs. Once of each of them. *hughug*

[Winslow]

Sorry for your losses thehod. I hope you find solace and peace of mind during this difficult time.

Baruch Dayin Emet. I am so sorry for your losses.

[Guapo Méndez]

Well, I'm back at work. It really helped to stay one more day at home, because compared to what I feel today, yesterday I felt like crap.
My lungs don't feel constricted anymore, my sinuses have cleared, there's no pain behind my eyes anymore and my stomach doesn't feel permanently occupied by a sandbag. A good thing about this is that I lost 4 kilos. Yay. My daughter caught influenza on Saturday and she gave us one helluva weekend, but her fever hasn't spiked since Monday. My son may or may not have influenza (he went to school yesterday without a jacket and it was cold and rainy and they sent him home today with a mild fever), so we'll see how he develops.

I'm going to take the rest of the week before returning to the gym, though. I need my strength.

[Slam_Bradley]

My condolences on your loss, Hod.

[Matt Algren]

That's horrible, hod. Condolences to your family.

it does make me think of this quote:

So sweet. Like Hunny.

For some reason I thought today was going to be more fun. Maybe I should start?

If I was a fruit, I would be a watermelon.... because it is pink!

condolences Hod


and in a case of companies not caring...my company fires three people (one in my department and two in another) and then has a big lunch for management only today

For some reason I thought today was going to be more fun.

My pants just got caught on a jagged edge and ripped open on my right thigh. I have spent the past ten minutes sewing it back together (poorly) so my blinding-white flesh doesn't disturb anyone else.

I had no expectations of fun today, but this was not on the menu.
