Tired, tossed and turned almost all night.

Hey Arden ...
 

Same here about what you wrote! About a 90% ditto!
(though, I must hand it to you ... you expressed it much better than I could have)

Thanks for the share.

my foot in mouth doesn't tend to embarrass as much as it confuses. I think I am saying one thing and the person receiving it hears something else...it's not the first time in my life. so, it's obviously something I need to work on. I can not take 100% on it...but, I do have to own my share of it and recognize I'm unable to word thing and express them correctly to some people.

I hope your situation gets less embarrassing for you

Feeling like a lazy ass today and I'm ok with that

Okay. Looking at a July 15th deadline that I'll make with a July 30th deadline right behind it. Feeling a little pressure, but that's cool.

Heartbroken. My client is being removed from life support. I'm not sure I can go in to work today. I'm not sure I can even do this job anymore. I don't even want to get out of this bed.

Hang in there grenade, I know it isn't easy losing a client but you'll make it through, remember it's not you pulling the plug, that you have no control over but what you do have control over is how you respond. The most loving thing you can do right now for both the family and your client is to be there with them in their last final hour, whether that be in body or in spirit by either holding them up in prayer or keeping them close in your thoughts at the moment they make their transition. It’s going to feel lousy for a while but that’s okay it’s normal and natural to be upset about losing someone you have worked so hard to help be as healthy, well and whole - as physically able as possible, for as long as possible. You can go see them before they are removed from life support without having to stay for the event if helping with it goes against your conscience. If present you can always ask to step outside the room before they begin actually removing them off life support. However if you think because of your upset, your presence would make it difficult for either the family or your client or this is something you just can’t bear to watch because of either your particular belief system or your love/feeling for the client you don’t have to go. It doesn’t make you a bad person or a failure as a caregiver to either dread having to go through this or not feeling up to being there as they remove this person you care about so much off life support. Go with your gut and trust your instincts on it. I'm sorry for your loss.

How would you feel if your maintenance check lights on your dashboard light up like a Christmas tree... you are told to be at an emissions check-point in a week, or you get fined, if you're caught driving without a new sticker... soo... you're all worked up thinking about spending not less than two grand at the mechanics..:confused::readfineprint:

I'm feeling amused and content....

Feeling good. Today was a good day for being a Monday. I am hoping the trend continues for the rest of the week.

energized...insamuch that Im even cleaning!! :tease:

I'm having a really bad day...luckily I see my cardiologist tomorrow.

I'm just so tired while doing anything anymore.....

Hey grenade, if you don't mind sharing, I am interested in hearing about your job ....what do you do?

I am sorry too for your client being removed from life support. And we all can see you are a caring person because it is painful for you. Hang in there!

thanks

I am feeling loopy and groggy from the anastisia today but I will be just fine and I am being well cared for.

I will be up and dancing soon enough.
