I've been thinking of jynier too...Are you out there jynier? 
Ok re supersenses, you've freaked me out now 
but at least that will stop me from creeping downstairs for choccy or leftover mac n cheese n chorizo so I should thank you. I will remind you tomorrow about your detox determination.
How are you watching embarrassing bodies eith mo telly and what is the topic?

on the internet kitty I never used to do this, but having no night shifts at the moment has meant good wife, extreme A&E, junior doctors and embarrassing bodies are all but a click away... while I eat chocolate.. at my desk
really shameful
so overcome by my great idea, when I just posted, that I have just spent 15 mins submitting it as a proposal to tv commissioners
jynier! so glas you hada nice time out with 2 of your children. I think the cloak of sadness is here too at the moment and that's why I'm struggling to meet appointments and do things that require normal functioning. Will lift soon I hope, it's the anniversary grief that makes it worse, I think.
re spooky stuff, DS definitely had a 'friend' I couldn't see. and have some scary stories from when I lived on a very very old street in a house built in 1600s- saw cloaked figures in my hallway, lights would go on.off, chilling cold, scary noises. was beyond frightening

Very hard to have multiple bereavements like that in quick succession jynier. I understand the loss of a best friend, as mine died about 3 years ago (despite only being in her 40s, we were very close and I met her when I was 16) I often think 'I wish I could phone her right now' or 'I'll tell her about...' or 'she'd say...' or something like that. It's really hard, to not be able to speak to them again, not be able to write to them, when they were so close to you. Really 
jynier. I am also very sorry to hear your younger brother died, jars with the natural order of things when this stuff happens. How often do you see your children? are you near them?

Ooh caberet is one of my favourite films. I love Joel Grey as Emcee the mc he's brilliantly grotesque.
Welcome minimammoth . How are your jittery hives, you poor thing?
cafe I'm so sorry this is such a particularly painful time for you; one which should have been full of joy too. I hope you might be able to find solace in remembering some happy memories and celebrating the life she had with you. Is there no-one who could join you in such a remembrance? kind thoughts and squeezes from kitty
jynier the same thoughts and squeezes extended to you too. Equally, it must be so hard to want to share an event or story with a loved one who has passed away, knowing how much they would appreciate it or particularly if you feel they are the only ones who would appreciate it.

When I was a teenager, my friend, who I had known all my life, died suddenly in tragic circumstances. We weren't on speaking terms at the time of his death which made it so much worse. 8 months after he died I had a birthday and in doing so, became older than him. I found that indescribably difficult to comprehend and deal with. As a consequence I failed my A levels among other things. I have such regret about having allowed a silly misunderstanding fuelled by a so called third friend
to mean we had fallen out and that we left each other in such bad terms. On the night he died I saw him on the bus on the way home from college and considered talking to him but didn't and actually thought oh I can do it another day fool coward
Not the same as losing a beloved sibling or child I know.

Sorry you are all suffering losses at the moment - I've never really lost anyone to death like that. I guess my problem is mourning the loss of relationships instead because I don't know how to choose stable men.
I too have that cloak of sadness this morning. I slept (only had 4 hours the night before!) but not well.

Morning midwife and kitty. So sad to hear those memories. The relationship pattern is a difficult one too. I have spent the morning cleaning a friends kitchen, single man, relationships have never worked for him either, thus on his own and now in hospital.
My hives have almost gone, but I am left with a trout pout. Looking v. glam without the cost of beautician
