I'm sorry about your friends anniversary of her death that can be tough, I hope your new year is good to you, I appreciate your input a lot and I'm thankful that your on this forum as well.

[Deep Blue]

Love ya Sceal!  back to you

Jdog,
Yeah the pink eye is not so fun.  I honestly didn't think it was that noticeable but then I was asked if I got hit in the eye.  Then today my grandmother asked me why my eye was all red.   Hmmm I guess it must be worse than I thought 🤔. Oh well, we are starting back up on Thursday.  An odd day, but I'm ready to meet my new semester crop.  How bout you?

3roses,
Thanks.  Her suicide is somehow different than the other 6 in my life.  We shared similar backgrounds ethnically, both teachers, same college, both had young kids... yeah it's a tough one.  Thanks for your kind word always 

Wattlebird,
I appreciate you too.  Happy New year to you! I hope good things in the new year for us both.

San,
I'm happy I found this forum and I'm happy we found each other.  Your words, thoughts, and love  are more valuable than you can ever know

Blue-
I neglected to also offer condolences for loss of your friend.  I am so very sorry for this loss.   I did not know that you have lost 6 to this same terrible fate.  Your love and remberances of them is special, important, and good.

I don't return to the classroom until the 7th, one day before my 60th birthday.   Haven't yet decided whether or not to take that day off.

Hi Deep Blue,
Sending you a hug    I wish you the best for today and all the days to come - I hope this year will be a positive one for you.  I know you've been through a lot of Anniversaries just now - and painful ones - so I wish you strength and whatever you need to get through these days - we are alongside you.   
Hope

[Jdog]

Deep Blue-
I am oh, so sorry you are sick.  Wrap up in a warm blanket and stay safe while your body heals.  These mind/body connections are no joke, and I am sending a sprig of rosemary and some sage for cleansing and healing.  Stay hydrated.

[Wattlebird]

Hope today has u feeling a bit better db

[Deep Blue]

Still pretty sick.  My voice is starting to make an appearance, but barely.  Couldn't really swallow at all last night.  Had some luck and the sore throat has eased this morning. 

I'm sitting in a tattoo parlor right now.  I'm hoping to get my first ink today.  He doesn't seem to mind I have a bad cold.  Wish me luck and strength! I'm excited and also nervous

[sanmagic7]

good luck, absolutely!  i hope it goes well.  what have you decided on?  i think it's pretty cool.

sorry you're still so sick.  i hope you can rest and take care of yourself.  much love and a big    to you - virtually, cuz i'm already sick and don't want to get more!   lol!!!
