CocoReads It was a 2 tech day and the first tech had to leave early so it‘s been a long 10 hours that‘s over in about 25. There were so@e challenges today but overall, it wasn‘t bad. 3y

tracey38 Today was a bad day at work. But at least it's over. I kove the pictures in today's virtual tour! 3y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick A busy two days with orientation calls and added revenue calls for my three new properties to sell for. Now I'm waiting for my name to be called for the second Fauci Ouchie. Hoping I don't get bad symptoms. No whammies!👹 My heart is racing with nerves so it was nice knowing you all! 🤣 3y

TheSpineView Busy day and when I got home I had a 2022 calendar in the mail! 2022!!🤯😱 I'm still trying to get used to 21! 3y

Susanita Coworkers were working my last nerve all day, but tonight I‘m at a ballgame, and the weather is beautiful. 3y

Andrew65 @CocoReads Enjoy your day off tomorrow, sounds like t is needed. 3y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Brighton looks wonderful! I need to just find a job in the UK for a year so I can visit all the places. Yesterday was a long day as we went to a Pride celebration right by our apartment to support our friends and a member of the town staff that assisted with planning. Today is a bit more lazy with some light cleaning & laundry going. Now I'm doing a few Litsy activities since my guy went into work for a couple hours. 3y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘ve been VERY lazy! But my back is hurting so I blame that!! 3y

tracey38 First half of the day doing chores and laundry. Back is sore from the work I did today. So sad getting older, but then again, I've had chronic back pain since I was 19, lol. Can't believe it's Sunday night! I've got a long, busy work week where I'll be working late again. @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I'm feeling you with the back pain today. Many hugs! I wrote you a letter today that I'll mail tomorrow. @CocoReads enjoy your day off tomorrow! 3y

TheSpineView Hot and humid weather here. I rode in the morning before it got too hot. Then spent the rest of the afternoon in the air conditioning. Back to work tomorrow. 3y

Crazeedi Brighton! I read a series set there... anyway sorry I've been absent. Got home from vacation Saturday and have been unpacking and washing ever since. I hope all is well with you this week Andrew. We are in a hot humid spell now after just having cold and rain a few days ago. Weather cant decide what time of year it is! 3y

Andrew65 @Crazeedi The excellent Roy Grace series by Peter James is set in Brighton, as is one of Elly Griffiths‘ series.

Smoke and Mirrors: Stephens and Mephisto 2

Crazeedi @Andrew65 haven't read the first one, it's the elly griffiths series I've read a couple! 3y

Andrew65 You need to read the Roy Grace series.

CocoReads @TheBookHippie so hot. Even if I had a function stove it would definitely be a salad for dinner kind of night. Which is what I had. 4y

CocoReads Busy busy day at work, made a nice big chef salad for dinner. Hot and humid. 4y

TheBookHippie @CocoReads School has NO AIR as it is under construction therefore it was so miserable it was nuts...... we got take out Chinese ! HA. 4y

TheSpineView Same kind of day for me, busy and productive. Came home tired but feeling like I got a lot accomplished. I was so tired I took an hour nap and now feel refreshed. On to reading for a bit. 4y

CocoReads Beautiful pics and I know about running on empty. Due to someone being on vacation, we‘ve been a person short for 2 weeks and then do@wine called in sick today so I cane in early. Yay extra money? But 2 more days til a 3 day weekend for me and I cannot wait-even if I go nowhere. 4y

CocoReads Hope you and your staff get some relief soon @Andrew65 4y

TheSpineView Hoping it gets better for you guys soon!🤞 As for me, busy today and still no gas. It will be at least a week before we will get any relief. I will work from home for the rest of the week 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I hope you get some relief! I‘m in panic mode due to a possible gas shortage! My daughter‘s wedding is Saturday in Alabama on the beach ! I‘m a worrier so I‘m on the edge right now!!! 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheSpineView omg!! Are you serious?! 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheSpineView I‘m not at home with my address book.. what state are you in? 4y

TheSpineView @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks SC! Unfortunately it is true. Friends in the industry say that once the pipeline is up and running it will take a minimum of 4 days for gas to reach this area. They are estimating gas to start arriving on Wednesday next week then a few days to get it to the pump 4y

TheSpineView Wednesday is a best case scenario. They said for every day past this Friday that it takes to get gas flowing again add a day to the Wednesday estimate. You are a lot closer to the source so hopefully you can knock a few days off the estimate 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheSpineView oh gosh!! This is crazy!! 4y

TheSpineView @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Yes! 😖 4y

TheBookHippie Doctoring day for me wears me out 🤪. Rest at home day tomorrow working on various chores and making zoom calls with picture book reading to the kiddos in younger grades -so fun. 4y

IamIamIam 💜💜💜💜 4y

Andrew65 @CocoReads Positive test today so not happening any time soon. (edited) 4y

Andrew65 @TheSpineView That‘s awful! 4y

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie What a time we are living through. Sending you positive thoughts. 4y

TheBookHippie @Andrew65 Right? Just surreal … 4y

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie Did we ever envision this in our lifetime when reading

As Bright as Heaven

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Andrew65 I think the same thing all the time...! 4y

CocoReads Oh but the good news is, my renewal for my certification and licensing have all gone through so I don‘t have to sweat that out for another 2 years. Note to self: make sure to get a jump on the CE and not save it all til the end! 4y

tracey38 @CocoReads that is good news! I gotta say, I'm ready for the end of the work day tomorrow! I'm just tired. Not much new. Work, home, read. Do it again the next day. 4y

CocoReads @tracey38 I know. Now that I don‘t need to worry about ce for awhile, maybe I can enjoy my reading life more 4y

CBee Got my 2nd shot today 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 4y

TheBookHippie Rain and a check up for my vertigo 🤢 but I‘m feeling better now so on we go… 4y

TheBookHippie @CBee 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜yay 4y

CBee @TheBookHippie I have issues with vertigo too. On and off - it stinks 😕😕 4y

TheBookHippie @CocoReads YAY!!!!!! Phew. As for a long day Oy I remember those in my nursing days blech 4y

TheBookHippie @tracey38 we all just said to each other why are we so tired lately ? It‘s Groundhog Day 246524 that‘s why 😫 4y

TheBookHippie @CBee so fricken frustrating ughhhh I just went in to get the maneuver done to see if it‘d help… so far okay I always 🤮 but then feel a bit relief. I love the try not to have stress it will help 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 4y

CocoReads @TheBookHippie yes and although I have the weekend off, I‘m in for another long day on Monday. I do have next Friday off but I‘ll be coming in around lunch time because we have a pharmacist retiring and I offered to bring the food. As in, I‘m picking up the food, not making it. 🤦‍♀️ 4y

CBee @TheBookHippie try not to have stress 😂😂😂😂 that‘s hilarious 4y

TheBookHippie @CBee I said as much .. 4y

TheBookHippie @CocoReads 😫🤦🏽‍♀️ 4y

CBee @TheBookHippie people who have no stress are probably aliens 😂 4y

tracey38 @TheBookHippie hahaha, so true! 4y

TheSpineView Frustrating day as the internet kept going down at work. Problem in the area and we just had to wait for it to get fixed. Oh well... tomorrow is another day.🤪 4y

Lynnsoprano Busy, weird day, things kept going wrong but then working out. Frustrating, but still got a fair amount accomplished, although there was one big mess to clean up. Still doing a lot of online shopping, a parcel came with a leaking bottle. Company good about giving a refund, but I had to clean the rug inside the door. Not a good sign when the postman wraps your package in plastic 😄 4y

Susanita I spent a good part of the day metaphorically herding cats, but there were some nice diversions tucked in here and there. 4y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Felt tired all day. Maybe it was the gloom, maybe I didn't sleep well. It was a fairly routine day. 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘m starting my week today... fingers crossed 🤞 it‘s a good one. 4y

How was Saturday? Feeling a bit out of sorts before Monday and the return of all children. Just need to get on with it now. Feels like the start of a new school year. Made it hard to focus on reading today.

Lynnsoprano Got a nice walk this morning before the rain rolled in this afternoon. Not complaining, we‘ve been pretty dry and need the rain. But it‘s made for a lazy afternoon. 4y

See All 9 Comments

TheSpineView A nice sunny day but windy which made it chilly. After weeks of mostly cloudy and rainy days we are finally getting a break. Did my weekly grocery store trip and the usual household stuff. Just a normal day. 4y

Velvetfur I've been going through another long, drawn-out faff of a job application which has been quite stressful and has made my mental health wobble a bit, but I've also started my online CBT so hopefully that will be of help soon. Best of luck for Monday! 4y

tracey38 Had a busy but productive day. Had to get my oil changed and car inspected. Then came home and cleaned and vacuumed car since we finally had a Saturday without rain and freezing cold temps. 4y

Crazeedi I'm hanging in there, because its supposed to warm up Monday! It's so cold today, I sat by the woodstove reading and listening to podcasts most of the day 4y

veritysalter Good luck for Monday. 4y

bthegood Good luck Monday - hopefully once the day gets going you will feel better - 4y

The Plymouth Express: A Hercule Poirot Short Story | Agatha Christie

We re-enter Devon today and say goodbye to Cornwall, starting off at Plymouth, the largest city in Devon.

How has Christmas Eve been Ford people? Not much different here as no great plans for Christmas, will just be my wife and I due to the prevalence of COvID, but may go for a drive as things more relaxed tomorrow. Plenty of time for reading. Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅 or Happy Holidays everyone.

JacqMac I haven‘t been ignoring you all, I promise. I‘ve just been trying to keep things going. We have one kid who is halfway across the country. He‘s 22. I‘m a little worried about him being alone. Our second kid is allowed to visit, because they eased the restrictions for a few days for single people. She‘s 19. So that‘s good for all of us. We have been cooking a lot and watching lots of movies. It‘s a weird time, but we‘re just trying to go with it. 4y

IamIamIam Merry Christmas Eve, all!!! I'm grateful for each and every one of you! You all made this year more bearable and put a smile on my face on days when they were hard to come by! May your holiday celebrations be full of love and as much family as allowed by the government!! 🎄🎅❤ 4y

DieAReader Officially kiboshed all Christmas plans with everyone due to upcoming Province-Wide Shutdown (here in Ford land🙄). I completely agree with the shutdown, but I am not holding my breath on their hopeful outcome following the 28 days. More people not taking precautions or even following guidelines. Makes me so mad & scared. Where I live, because we are north eastern Ontario, our shutdown is Dec 26-Jan 9. This basically means that after Jan 9th, 4y

DieAReader More people than not will slowly and not so slowly returning to normal with little concern for anyone but themselves. For these reasons as well as many other mental & physical currently insurmountable obstacles & road blocks, hubs and I have decided to self-isolate throughout the shutdown. This is difficult and was a very difficult decision to come to, but we need to end 2020 better than it started (for us). This will be a #SelfCareIsolation time 4y

Andrew65 @JacqMac Sending best wishes, these times are so tough, just join in when you are able to. 🥰🎅🎄 4y

Andrew65 @IamIamIam #DailyCheckIn has been a god send for us all and think we‘ve now been doing this since the end of March. Feels less lonely with it. 4y

DieAReader For both of us individually & as a couple. No plans, just taking the day as it comes tomorrow & doing what we want, on our schedule & in all the ways best to decompress & maybe get the pack of 🐿 out of our 💀 Happy Holidays everyone! Thank you all so much for being such an uplifting and wonderful community♥️ Be safe & I hope that your Christmas is exactly the way you need/want it to be 🎄🎅🏻 4y

Andrew65 @Squidget Think we are rapidly heading for our third national lockdown, although large parts already lockeddown. 4y

Andrew65 @Squidget Sending all our love and best wishes. 🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🥰 (edited) 4y

DieAReader @Andrew65 🥺😭😳 So sorry to hear that. I often can‘t help but wonder where we‘d be if “The Powers that Be”🙄 actually cared about how their actions/inactions affected people (anyone) that are outside their circle (& putting💰in their pockets & offshore banks accounts). This is just my own “useless” opinion though🤷🏻‍♀️ 4y

MicheleinPhilly @Squidget I TOTALLY get where you are coming from. We‘ve barely left the house since March, have been regularly wearing masks since March, etc. It is so unbelievably frustrating and infuriating to see people disregarding medical advice for their own selfish needs. I get it - it sucks. I should be at my aunt‘s house right now with my entire extended family celebrating. And I know plenty of Americans will be just like they did for Thanksgiving. 😡 4y

kezzlou85 Well thanks to the heavy rain much of our area is flooded. Luckily we're on a hill but so many of the roads round here are flooded. The last thing people need this year is flooding in their homes. 4y

MicheleinPhilly Sorry to be such a negative Nancy! I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, restful, and safe holiday season! 4y

LiteraryinPA @MicheleinPhilly I agree with you, Michele! It‘s frustrating. The rest of my family is together but my husband and I aren‘t there. But if we can all just stay healthy for another several months we it‘ll be safe to see each other again. 4y

BookwormM I am already in Tier 4 so lockdown for me burger and chips for Christmas dinner just me and hubby. Luckily I managed to send my 90 year old Nan flowers that arrived yesterday. 4y

Andrew65 @MicheleinPhilly You‘re not negative, unbelievable that all don‘t follow as strictly. If they did we quickly get this beaten and in major remission. Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅 4y

Andrew65 @kezzlou85 Just what wasn‘t needed at this time. Stay safe. 4y

Andrew65 @LiteraryinLititz Exactly. Save it til we can all get together safely! 4y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Hey everyone! 👋 Merry Christmas! We had slightly warmer weather today so I took a long walk with the pup while my guy had an eye appointment. We're staying home for Christmas, other than the usual walks. It's weird & uneventful, but that just means a gathering later will be more special. Neither of us needs more stuff & we have no clue when live events will be available & safe, so we're not exchanging gifts either. 4y

Andrew65 @BookwormM We were always planning to be just the two of us. 4y

CocoReads We are doing a very small gathering. My sisters family, my family and my parents. I work with my brother in law at the hospital snd we all agreed that if anyone has even the slightest symptom we won‘t get together. We will also be masking except for dinner snd practicing our best covid cautions. We did this at Halloween and it went well. Cancelled Thanksgiving and we wont be doing New Years. 4y

Velvetfur Merry Christmas Andrew! Nice that you finally have time to relax 🙂👍🏻 4y

MicheleinPhilly Exactly. My aunt said, “No Christmas Eve bash at our house. We‘ll do Christmas in July at the beach house.” I just wish more people would recognize that it is up to US, not the government, to control the spread. 😕 Merry Christmas, Andrew. Hope you are getting some much deserved rest. 4y

TheSpineView Like you, it will just be the hubby and myself tomorrow. I am cooking part of the day and hope to get some reading done. Other than that it should be a very quiet day. 4y

Andrew65 @Velvetfur And can switch off emails now too! 6 days from end of term has elapsed with no positive cases. Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅 (edited) 4y

Andrew65 @MicheleinPhilly Thanks, good to get some downtime, only then you realise how tired you are. I think it would have helped if Governments had announced two Public Holidays on 25th / 26th June for family gatherings. Hopefully by then be safe to do so. (edited) 4y

Andrew65 @TheSpineView May not have been as we would have planned but hopefully will be relaxing. 4y

TrishB Hot! Attended an interesting zoom network event on inclusivity in leadership. Some good ideas talked about by an interesting mix of people. Hope you had a good day Andrew. 4y

Andrew65 @TrishB Actually had two good days on the trot, can‘t remember when that last happened. Spent the days, amongst other things, with senior leaders discussing plans from September, how we move forward from this and discussing how we amend the curriculum not to close the gaps as some have mentioned but how to bridge the chasms. We serve a high deprivation area so this has had a massive learning impact on many of the children 4y

See All 28 Comments

Andrew65 @TrishB I love talking leadership, attended an interesting virtual conference speech yesterday that inspired me again and made us start making those plans. 4y

TrishB Yes, I was inspired too! Felt good. Hope the good days continue! 4y

CocoReads Today was ....weird. We weren‘t slammed at work but I didn‘t get my project done. One of our techs had a family emergency so we had to rearrange duties as best we could. But her emergency was that her BIL committed suicide. The weird part is that it was actually a murder-suicide and he (the brother in law) works at the same place as my husband. Not the same department but they knew each other. Tragic all around. 4y

CocoReads So I‘m not sure how tomorrow‘s going to be because I anticipate she won‘t be back until next week and we‘re already down a couple people due to vacations. But mostly I feel really awful for her and her family. 4y

DieAReader Happy you‘ve had some good days @Andrew65 🥰Productive day so far. Got the lawn done & have been💥Litsy🤪😈to catch up on posts. I‘ve been a bit behind again, but only because of some ADHD & OCD fights over books lists, TBRs, etc...🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ Just plugging in🎶 now to lower a sudden spike in anxiety😬. Some computer stuff to do & then I‘m going to ground 📖🎶 4y

Andrew65 @TrishB 🤞🤞🤞 4y

Andrew65 @CocoReads That is awful, sending virtual hug 🥰 4y

Andrew65 @Squidget Enjoy your music and reading. 😊🥰 4y

Andrew65 @TheSpineView 😍 4y

TheBookHippie Oooooo so pretty!!! I‘m home no voice. I think it went well 🤷🏽‍♀️ off to editing it goes 4y

tracey38 Lovely beaches as always! I had an ok day again though I dread tomorrow, but at least it's Friday. I put in some vacation time to get some long weekends in July and August just for mental health days, no plans other than relaxation and to get away from work. @CocoReads What a horrible situation! That is just heartbreaking. 4y

TheBookHippie @CocoReads so very sad. Truly sorry. 4y

Texreader AAAAAGH! When they say Texas is the new hotspot all I can say is yep. 4y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick These pictures look beautiful. Had two very lackluster online calls today with the Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau. Did a little reading & cleaning, too. I welcome these boring days because it's better than chaos. @CocoReads That's terrible. I'm sorry to heat that. You're all in my thoughts. 💖 4y

Tove_Reads @CocoReads OMG, that is absolutely horrible., suicide alone is tragic, but add the murder on top. Many people are now scarred for life. 4y

gradcat @Andrew65 Checking in late (yet again!)...I‘m having trouble with my posts—they‘re not posting!—so I‘ll just say this: One more day at work & then it‘s the weekend! Hope yours is nice & restful!! 😂♥️ 4y

gradcat @TheBookHippie I hope your so 4y

gradcat @TheBookHippie I hope you speech & podcast went well...sorry you‘ve lost your voice, though...♥️ 4y

IamIamIam D'oh, I missed yesterday! Lol, my son and I took a bike ride yesterday on the local bike path and I realized halfway through that I hadn't really ridden since I was 12! Lol, I spent the afternoon playing Animal Crossing because it was hard to move. My heart is with you all @CocoReads. 4y

TheBookHippie @gradcat I hope so too!!! Scratchy this morning making tea! 4y

Andrew65 @gradcat Thanks, hoping to get stuck into reading. 4y

Porthmadog : yesterday's tide | Myfanwy Morris

A bit late today as been at the hospital for a CT scan this evening. Today we have moved onto Criccieth and Porthmadog. Porthmadog is where they filmed the original Prisoner series starring Patrick McGoohan (number 6).

How has today been fir you. I‘ve been in a foul mood all day, quiet possibly the prospect of having to go to the hospital for the test and the ongoing issues about schools reopening.

BookwormM Hoping all is well with your scan 🤗 stressful day today had an incident at a roundabout we were in the left hand land going straight across the car in the right hand lane nearly hit us as he was going straight across and then shouted abuse that we were in the wrong lane had to double check Highway Code in case rules had changed since I last looked and nope left hand is still the lane for straight across. Rant over 🤣🤣 5y

Birdsong28 Love Porthmadog! It is such a wonderful place. Have a few good holidays there. And I even looked round at the set for the prisoner ( never watched it tho) It is currently on ITV on a show called The Village. Sending you lots of postive thoughts as well. 📚 📖 5y

TheBookHippie @BookwormM 😫🙄🤦🏽‍♀️ people here just plain stop at roundabouts and I scream at leAst I used to when I went out 69 days ago!!! 5y

Velvetfur @BookwormM Ooohh I PROPER hate people like that! Imbeciles who don't know how to drive then get nasty with people who actually drive correctly - so moronic! They're the type who'd shout stuff like "that's not the right lane!" and then NEVER check whether they're right, just believe that they are. This is why I myself won't ever drive! Hugs to you ? 5y

Velvetfur @TheSpineView That's why I don't allow men into my life in that capacity anymore! (the men of Litsy are always welcome though!) 5y

Andrew65 @Velvetfur Thanks. 🥰 5y

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie Depending on what decision I take about schools I might be forced to take a sabbatical 🤣 5y

Andrew65 @Velvetfur 🤣🤣🤣 *walks slowly off the stage, hoping not to be noticed as an interloper* 5y

TheBookHippie @Velvetfur 🤣🤣🤣 I‘m very thankful for Mr BookHippie ... he is so zen. Thank goodness. 5y

TheBookHippie @Andrew65 whelp depending on my week I could be on one as well 🤣🤣🤣 5y

kezzlou85 Hope the scan went okay today. Been a bit of a rough one here but we got through it. Eldest was stressing about maths work. This school stuff is making everyone crazy and yet it still seems to be going okay. 5y

Andrew65 @kezzlou85 As I say to our parents, try not to stress about the work. Do want you can or feels right and don‘t worry about learning progress. We will pick that up when the children return to school and close any gals that open up, it‘s what we‘re good at! And thanks 🥰 (edited) 5y

kezzlou85 Thanks for that. Its more the pressure my daughter puts on herself. Took her three hours to do one part today but she feels she has to do more despite the teacher saying no more than 3 hours. 5y

Andrew65 @kezzlou85 It is always the pressure they put on themselves. 😢 5y

TrishB Hope all goes well with the scan. School fight still brewing I see. I can‘t even bear to look at govt. pronouncements at the moment ☹️ just a day of mtgs again. My daughter finished her last assessed work for her first year of uni! We had a couple of glasses of wine which is not quite how she saw her night out..... 5y

CocoReads Rainy, windy, and not as warm but still warm enough, if that makes sense. Busy at work—the nonsense continues re: furloughs. It seems like they‘re trying to force the senior staff out, either by furlough or moving them from the department they‘ve been in to one they‘ve never been in (I have a specific nurse in mind) but overall an ok day. 5y

CocoReads Hoping your scan results come back good and my thoughts are with you as you try to make sense of reopening (or not) your school. 5y

Andrew65 @TrishB I can‘t watch them now either. Stupid is as stupid does! Ontario said not opening schools till a September, governor said he just can‘t risk it and they have only had just over 1000 deaths. 🤬Thanks 🥰 Well done good your daughter amongst all this. (edited) 5y

Andrew65 @CocoReads Absolutely crazy, my thinking keeps flip flopping! Thanks 🥰 5y

Andrew65 @CocoReads Think should be the warmest day of the year here tomorrow. 5y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Andrew, I hope you get good results from the scan. 🤞 The workday was noneventful, just like most of the others lately, which is more welcome than a bad day. Some good news...I'm an auntie again! My guy's sister had a healthy baby girl this morning. About 3 weeks early, but mom & baby are well. She was really hoping for a girl so I'm glad she got the surprise she wanted. I'll be glad when I can meet her in person. 5y

TheSpineView @Velvetfur I'll remember that if I get rid of this one!🤣🤣🤣 Actually, we have been together over 20 years. I am sure I irritate him too. 5y

Velvetfur @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Aaww a little girl! That's so sweet, congrats to all the family 💜 5y

Velvetfur @TheSpineView Well, all the good ones are already taken which is why I've usually been left with the dregs! 🤣I've long since reached the stage of not caring anymore 😁 5y

TheBookHippie @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick awe!!!! Congratulations!!! Auntie is one of my favorite roles ! 5y

TheBookHippie @Velvetfur my daughter feels the same way!! 5y

tracey38 I'm sorry you're going through all of that and had a rough day @Andrew65 . Prayers and good thoughts for good news on your scans. I know those are never fun. Day wasn't too bad here but really wish I wasn't at work and could nap as it's such a dark and rainy week this week! Tomorrow will be a bit rough as my coworker is off and I'll be in the clinic running most of it myself. 5y

LiteraryinPA @Andrew65 I‘ll be thinking of you as you wait for your scan results. I really appreciate how you give everyone a space to check in each day. With everything you have on your plate, it‘s really kind of you to do this and I look forward to hearing about everyone‘s day even on days I don‘t respond. 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I hope you‘re ok!! Sending love your way 💙💙💙 5y

gradcat @Andrew65 I loved “The Prisoner!” It was excellent...we (my friends & I from when I lived in Los Angeles) kind of got cultish about it over here, but much later than when it originally ran. By the way, when will you find out about your CT? Good lord, Andrew, I think you‘ve been having these problems for going on a year, am I right? I really, really, hope you get an answer AND a solution!! 😊♥️ 5y

JanuarieTimewalker13 You‘re under a lot of stress, so I can fully understand a foul mood!!! Just keep saying to yourself “things will get better”. Also, pump up your immune system with Vitamin D❤️ hope all works out🌸 5y

BookwormM @Andrew65 I am off to bed now haven‘t seen a post from you today so just checking in to make sure you are ok xxx 5y

Andrew65 @JanuarieTimewalker13 Thanks, better mood today. Think everything plus have to go to hospital for a test was one thing too much yesterday! 5y

Andrew65 @BookwormM Yes been busy, thanks for asking them did a drive to the coast at 5.00 pm and poor internet connection when I was there. 🥰 Hope you‘ve had a good day. 5y

Andrew65 @gradcat 10 months! Still no definitive answer, but usually manageable but stress recently hasn‘t helped it. Hopefully hear in about a week but who knows with a society like we have at the moment! 🥰 (edited) 5y

Andrew65 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thanks 🥰 Hope you are well. 5y

Andrew65 @LiteraryinLititz Great to see this helps people, makes it all worthwhile. Thanks fir your thoughts. 🥰 5y

Andrew65 @tracey38 Hope today wasn‘t too bad for you. Thanks for your thoughts 🥰 5y

gradcat @Andrew65 Still keeping my fingers crossed and my hopes high for you...♥️ 5y
