Why are you unhappy today?

Oh Franklan, you got me worried there!
I am now unhappy because I worried without a cause!

Chill, I just wanted this topic being present, that's all...

Went to a mate's memorial service today.

52, leaving behind his wife and 10 year old lad

Life's too short folks, so make the most of it while you can (admittedly easier said than done)!

[Fraufruit]

So sorry to hear that. Fruity hugs coming your way.

52, leaving behind his wife and 10 year old lad

@Eric7, please - if you have the powers to do so - be a shoulder to lean on for the 10year old lad, and - if wanted - for the wife.

We'll do what we can of course!
Luckily there's quite an extended network of family and friends who are there for them.

Just read that author Sophie Kinsella author of the Shopaholic series has brain cancer. Hope she survives and continues to write.

[Fraufruit]

That's very sad. I enjoyed all of her books back in the day.

I may have coined the term "himself" from her. Can't remember.

I have rightly buggered my left knee in exactly the same way I buggered the right knee 37 years ago.
It will be many months before I'm back to 50% of normal.

It’s like the busses saying….all at once or none at all. I’m always grateful for the none at all!

So many busses just now! Started with husband being in hospital for 2 weeks. Soon to go to Reha for 13 weeks plus. I’ve now got eye hospital and other hospital checks necessary due to not ok normal checks. Very poorly cat…nervous of today’s vet visit. Major house repairs outstanding due to faulty new water meter installation by our Gemeinde. Cellar stinks most horrid after 6 months of ongoing insurance and repair delay. Mould now too. Kiddo seems somewhat off the rails just now! Husband will be away when all of that future stuff enfolds! I’d go and scream in the forest though wouldn’t want to disturb the lovely wildlife!

Big hugs and shoulder massage coming your way, emkay.

Thanks so much Fraufruit, you’re very kind.
I had to leave our cat at the vet so she can get fully tested tomorrow morning nüchtern. I can’t even think of the English word for that just now….no food or drink before examination.

I always think of „nüchtern“ in the context of being sober, but clearly here it means they want her to have an empty stomach. Take good care emkay. Sending positive thoughts and virtual hugs your way. You do have a very full platter.

Yesterday evening my daughter's dog went over the rainbow bridge at 13 1/2 years old after suffering with stomach ulcers the past couple of months. He is now united with his best friend Joker (my dog), who passed away 2 years ago. I had daycared him for all that time. He will be sorely missed. RIP Robby!

[Fraufruit]

Hugs all around BethAnn.

I’m unhappy, sad, angry and frustrated. A close family member, who is already facing a hysterectomy due to severe endometriosis, also needs an operation on her hand because it has become so disformed she can hardly use it and has now been diagnosed with an illness called lipoedema, something I hadn’t even heard of before yesterday, so I’m doing my research on it today.

I’m just getting my frustration out in this post because I don’t know where else to go, and I really need to be there to support her.

[Fraufruit]

Big hugs to you, Tap, as you support her.

[Robinson100]

More hugs for Tappy!!
I would put good money on the family member being one of the loveliest people one could meet - sorry, but this sort of sh*t always seems to hit the nice ones. Not at all fair if you ask me!
