How do you feel today?

I can relate on several levels and am so sorry to hear this. That’s the kind of situation that I can definitely see challenging what I think of as a depression “remission period” (I don’t feel like I can ever say I’m depression-free; the threat of return is always there).

It sounds like you’ve done an excellent job of creating a professional life that supports your needs. Unfortunately, unethical douchebags will sometimes get in the way. Dispatch with them and take care of yourself. Eff ‘em.

Will DM you…

Definitely. Hang in there.

Yes, absolutely. Tomorrow is a new day. I hope things feel better when you wake, but there will be a lift, eventually. This, too, shall pass.

Sounds like you need to lie on the sofa & watch F1 qualifying. Feel better!

I misread palinkas with painkillers 

Hungover .... Scoused?

I still have The Cutter bouncing round my head, Everton v Arsenal today, BUnnymen again tomorrow, then more Arsenal.

DRUGS REQUIRED!!

I'm feeling sad for my sister and her husband. My BIL lost his only brother weeks ago due to cancer and then his father was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (a blood cancer) about two weeks ago. He was in the hospital last week, discharged Thursday evening, and then back in the hospital Saturday with COVID. I don't know much, save for yesterday afternoon my BIL thought his dad "wouldn't make it." Chemo can't start until he is over COVID and his bones have started breaking. My sister's FIL is a very sweet, down-to-earth farmer from Wisconsin. Prior to farming he was an airplane mechanic. He is a really affable, sweet guy who I've only ever seen in a good mood. 

My BIL also lost his mom about 18 months ago. She had been ill for many years with leukemia, but I believe her cause of death was COVID. 

Lots of heaviness.
