What's on your agenda for today?

Just now leaving for the airport to fly to St. Louis until Monday.
 

Just wanted to let you know that my husband died this morning - he became septic and went into cardiac arrest. I'm kind of a mess but I'm in the middle of making the arrangements for everything. Some relatives will soon arrive so I may be absent from the forum for awhile. Best to all!
 
Annie any news on little poorly pooch? I hope no news doesn't mean bad news!!

Kath any news honey?

Linda hope you've had a lovely day for the wedding today!

Georgia ..oh dear, you do sound like you might be up the creek without a paddle workwise..what a shame!! I completely understand about the age thing..they do similar here..a few hardware stores and a couple of major supermarkets take on retired staff but of course everyone and his retired brother are looking for work so they get inundated with requests..and I agree your probably right about them preferring the younger retiree rather than the elder. I hope you can find something..anything...what about just volunteering somewhere?

Have a Safe trip Oldman...:)

All week I've been working from home..since I had my accident I get to work from home much more but I do have to show my face at the workhouse 2 or 3 times a week for 12 hours. Tomorrow and Saturday this week...so this afternoon I went and got beautified at the Salon in readiness. I haven't been able to go since July..so my hair was desperate for a cut and blow dry

Picked up the supermarket shopping while I was out...and got it loaded into the car for me, and fortunately hubs is home today so he was here to haul it out of the boot of the car when i got back, otherwise it would have had to stay in there LOL>.:D

Next door neighbour is having her house adapted for her disability, paid for by social services ..she's 85 had a couple of strokes etc...so the builders have been in for the last week ( it's a solid brick house) knocking rooms out, installing a wet room, digging up the front lawn to make a new wheelchair accessible path etc . However she's never had anything done apart from new windows and porch door since she moved in when the house was new way back in 1955...and that includes the interior, so I think the builders have got their work really cut out for them in there..much bigger job than they probably anticipated!!
 

Kath, I'm so sorry. Take as much time away as you need, post if you're feeling up to it, and know that we're all thinking about you, k?
 
OH NO Kath I'm so sorry we posted at the same time so I didn't see your post!!


Oh Kath, I can't imagine how you must be feeling right now, words on a computer will ever express how sorry I am to hear your desperately sad news. My heart is breaking for you.:(

Just take your time, let others take care of you for now, and we'll see you again when you can face coming back with us, we'll be all thinking of you very much!! ((((hugs)))) my friend.
 
Putting one foot in front if the other. My nephew who works for Doctors Without Borders has been missing for over ten days. At this point, all we have is speculation, sooo we wait. It is my birthday next week, best present ever would be to have him home safe and sound. If I have any good karma whatsoever, I am so calling it in now!
 
With the extreme heat and poor air quality it looks like the next few days will be spent indoors watching movies and reading. I will also await my first shipment of six fresh gourmet meals from Friendly.com via Fed Ex.

Kath, I am not a prayin person but my thoughts are with you and I hope you find some comfort in having your folks around you at this difficult time. I cannot imagine the pain.

I'm so sorry to hear about your nephew Shalimar. I hope you hear he is safe and well very soon. 10 days is a long time.
