Oh dear, Bea, that's horrid.
46 is no sort of age nowadays.
Retirements good and October will be here before you know it.
I think you've found the Cold Dark Room.

Thanks, Adam!

Thanks, Adam!

Pleasure.

Good morning all. I've woken with a smile on my face. The sky has high clouds and a gentle breeze is in the air. I know these high clouds will burn off before noon but waking with a smile is good for my soul. (Take that all of you none morning people)!

You been listening to your body again Ken?

More my heart …

....probably talking much more sense! Glad you're smiling - whatever the reason!

"Cold Dark Room"????????
Is that a thread somewhere?

I've been okay. Spending a lot of extra time and energy trying to manage an upsurge of anxiety at work. Once I decided to retire in October, half my brain jumped the gun and is already outta here!!! I SO want out NNOWW!!!!!

On top of that, a very dear friend and spiritual mentor just found out her aggressive breast cancer has NOT responded to her chemotherapy, so she goes in for a mastectomy Monday. The mastectomy is the least of her worries: the rapidly enlarging cancer which is resistant to chemo is bad- VERY bad... . And she's only 46...

So I've been a bit preoccupied...

It's so frustrating when you have to watch a friend going through all that and can't make it better. All good wishes to her and yourself, Bea.

I know what you mean about work I have been thinking of early retirement since my twenties but even more so lately and thinking of going at Xmas.
It is said you should work to live, not live to work- but that is easier said than done and I can't wait to have time for my life. Hopefully time will pass quickly for you Bea, and then you'll probably wonder how you ever had time to work!

When I saw our local newscaster run off screen spitting it out and asking for water or anything to rinse his mouth I figured I had no real reason to try it. I'll stick with my birthday present

He's taking something in hand I betcha....

 

[Maggie Cummings]

You and your mentor have my sympathy and support for what it's worth. I mean that from a good place inside of me.

You got a good place????

 

[bouaboua]

What's good for dinner in a hot summer evening??

We already went out last night.

 

[meech008]

We're having potato soup with cheddar and bacon. It's one of my favorites cold or hot weather.
