to sit here with a bottle of single malt...

[Ludoole]

..pondering how shit my life is????

Yes, you probably are. But that's OK.

Shall carry on then!!

It depends on the kind of malt. What is it?

Was a macallans oak matured. Twas very nice too, which is why i have only just got up

What in particular makes your life shit right now? What is the shittiest thing about it, that you would most like to change?

Skyway
My dp is terminally ill, df has advanced alzheimers and prostate cancer and dm is depressed. Im holding it all together.
Tbf their lives are worse than mine... i was just feeling sorry for myself which doesn't help.
Im off to pull myself together!

So sorry Lud the single malt sounds totally totally R.

My sincere commiserations - my poison last night was Glencoyne
DP severely depressed at moment
DF terminally ill with bowel cancer
DM not coping well with imminent loss of her husband of 55 years
My first day back at work was shit - future job losses looming, lost a contract and funding has been cut - just to add to my misery with existing financial problems
Today is a new day and I've got to keep it together for everyone else

But YABU on the basis of your choice of malt.

Sorry Glengoyne

How are you feeling tonight OP?

I'd prefer an Islay malt when I choose to forget my issues. My commiserations with your situation
