Did today (yesterday, 1/9) seem particularly 'difficult?'

[elleng]

Publicly, Christie stuff, and personally, several things seemed to converge.

[Sweet Freedom]

1. Not for me

But sorry you had a tough day.

[elleng]

2. Thanks, Sweet.

Glad things went well for you. Mine only deteriorated tonight, when a family member was 'losing' it and I said she should 'calm down,' and not do such in front of her son. She's not speaking to me (not unusual, fwiw,) and her husband thanked me for the support.

But more broadly, Christie, and our MFM.

[Sweet Freedom]

3. Christie had it coming

MFM's passing surprised me. I hadn't kept up well with his health problems.

Good for you for speaking up! It may not have gone great, but sounds like it was the best thing to do.

[elleng]

4. THANKS!

5. In a way

I've stepped out of my comfort zone and gone back to school at 58. Taking a Holistic Doula course where I'm the oldest... some are as young as 20 and they look 12 to me. Worst of all, they speak in little peepy voices and I am getting hard of hearing. I have 4 months to adjust though.

But an astrologer friend said its a great time to do it as its my Saturn Return.

6. That's a great, courageous adventure, arikara.

CONGRATS, and best of luck.

[arikara]

7. Thank you!

We had first anatomy class today and least I didn't feel like a total dummy.

[elleng]

8. You're surely not a dummy,

and much more experienced than the others. They'll probably consult YOU, in a bit, I bet!!!
