Two weeks off? How nice for you! Any particular plans yet?

[treetops]

Hi there. I was made redundant today after almost 3 decades in my career and having a very senior job. This is the work I love and do well. I have no idea what I will do or what kind of work I can find. There are very few options here. Truly gutted. I thought I would keep my job but am now no longer needed.

[NoraC]

Oh TT - I am so very sorry. This has to be so hard for you. Sending you lots of positive energy. :hug: :hug: :sad:

[NoSugar]

I am so sorry you received this news, TT, and that this was the outcome of all the turmoil you've been going through. Please be kind to yourself. The needs and judgement of your employer say NOTHING about you or your worth. xx, NS

[Mick]

hello peeps,tis I ...things have been a bit hectic,and we are having a bit of a struggle at the moment..you couldnt write a book about this and the things that have happened..Julies brother passed on,dont want to go into it, it really does hurt as do the circumstances, so I cant imagine how it is for his Dad and sister..what it did make me realise is dont waste a day..life is short enough,you never know when it will be curtain time..enjoy it....

Sorry TT and Mick

Mick-I am sorry to hear the news of Julie's brother passing. Glad you are sober to be of real support to her and her Dad.

TT-I am so sorry that months of stress came down to this. Give yourself time to rest, you have been through hell for quite some time. Sometimes just sitting in the shitty emotions can give you clarity. Grieve, cry and never let anyone make you feel less than.

I'm trying to get the "homework" done that my therapist gave me. Pretty cool site called "Alison" that you can take courses for free. My teenager has drained the life out of me. But I will get it done. Dog laying on my lap for love helps

AW Mick...sorry to hear about Julie's brother. Man you guys have been through a lot lately. Take care of yourself.

Pi...nope no plans except hanging around and doing nothing, or whatever I want. LOL Most of my family is in town so don't have to do any traveling.

TT...I was thinking of you today. So sorry to hear about the decision. Take some time and just be glad all the turmoil is over. Now that the door is closed don't forget to look for the window that opened. :hug:

Waves to Nora, NS, Pauly and SF.

Off to put the soup on. Have a peaceful evening all....:smile:PPQP

[Lavande]

Good evening Abbers,

Oh Mick, I am so sorry to hear your news. I will continue to keep you & your family in my thoughts & prayers. Please continue to take care of yourself :hug:

TT, I am sorry about your news as well. Apparently this has been on your mind for quite some time. Please stay positive & don't let this action undermine you. I trust that you will find your way through this, so sorry.

Hello & thanks to PQ for starting the thread
Hello Nora, Pauly, SF & anyone dropping in later.
I am staying busy as usual, nothing major to report which is just as well.

Peace to all of us tonight & always!
Lav

Happy unhung Monday ABerooos!

PPQ, thanks for stepping up and getting this bus on it's endless AF tour of mayhem

my goodness, Mick and TTops, extra hugs for both of you. xxxxxxxxxx

New beginnings in life/career are scary and exciting times. I'm still going through it myself and really have no idea
what I'm going to do when I 'grow up'.

Sorry not real lively today... up all night as Dx has been sick and sneezing/coughing all night so I've been looking after her.
Thankfully she's better today. Anyhoo... in the grand scheme of things I have very little to complain about.

Everyone take good care of yourself and loved ones and be well as always
