Hi people I think the season thing struck a chord with me as Joel was diagnosed in the O ctober and died in mid January which was the middle of summer here.We had a heatwave going on and it was actually 40degrees(about 104) on some days including the day of the funeral.It was also busy round here as the place was full of tourists.It just gave the situation a surreal quality.My son was on his long uni break and it was bizzarre that when he started back he had lost his dad over the couse of the uni holidays.
So the summer had a really odd feel to it.We loved the summer and had barbeques a couple of times a week but since Joel died we havent touched it.So in a lot of ways I was glad to see the end of summer and I have enjoyed the Autumn more. for me though just experiencing a change of season alone is weird.
It was sad about Jeff-he was a great character
Hope everyones weekend goes okay-I am already well into my weekend before you start yours as I am many hours ahead of you.
love from Janet our temp is about 65 and we are 2 weeks from winterJeff was a very special person-he was a great character and that shone through always,he will be missed.RIP Jeff.
My sincere condolences to Jeffs family love from JanetDear Natasha Its been such a nightmare of a time for you.Look after yourself and be patient with things.Wishing you strength Janet
Hi people I hope your weekends went ok.I have had a miserable week of car troubles and phone disconnection which has left me frustrated and teary.i found I am ok when things are smooth but any glitches cause a meltdown.The weather was also dull and unseasonably cold last week.It has been sunny over the weekend and I have been for a swim in the ocean pool as the sea temp lags behind the air temperature.It made me feel better,I feel very sensitive to weather fluctuations at the moment and dread the coming winter months.
Anyhow I hope you enjoy the warmer weather in the northern hemisphere.We have colds here but no swine flu yet love from JanetDear Cyndi I would like to add to what all the others have said .This board does have some special people and they will support you
love from JanetHi people
Sue,that holiday sounded terrific-like material for a book.I love Greek food,we have a Greek club near here that does cheap buffet food.
Joyce,nurses are always good types although I may be biased-but I hope you enjoy your time with your cousin.
I will go back to my one day per week in a fortnight,I have to do a computer update first,apparently they are now completely paper free.I have found a car too so things are moving.Sometimes I cant believe I have survived all this-Joels death followed by my sons exacerbation of mood disorder.You people online understand more than many other friends and aquaintances but I am marvelling that Im actually keeping going,functioning even though its not quite me as I used to be.
We are into colder weather and shorter days now and I find the changing seasons odd on my own.I have had some help with the garden thank goodness.
Pauline I hope things are ok for you and Darla I hope you and your boys are good too love from JanetHi Carol what an amazing thing modern technology is that I on the other side of the world am able to look at all those wonderful photos of your family and feel so connected Janet
