sooooo are we drinking on a Thursday or wait till Friday
Quoting: Martini & Cigar I'm drinking. I had 3 vacation days left to use before April 1st or I would lose them. I have weekends off, so I am using vaca days tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday.
Need it bad. Life is heavy. I need to work on my muscles.
Quoting: Simple27 Good for you! That will be a nice long weekend!
Quoting: KickinIt I need it. Plus, the damn flu keeps circling my office!
Two different people got the flu THIS week. One of which already had it a month ago.
A possible third is in the works. I know she's on the road to getting it.
There's 7 of us in this particular building. And the above is just from this week.
Everyone except for me and the woman who's balancing on the line has had it at least once.
I've developed a cough today which I haven't had at all until today. Hoping it's not the beginning of anything.
Planning to use these days to be available for my friend. If she needs a babysitter or anything. I have given her my services, if/when needed, from tonight through Tuesday night. At any given time.
So I'm on call. And wouldn't have it any other way. I'm so happy to be able to have extra time to offer to her over the next 5 days.
I saw her last night. And her kids. And her dad who has been watching the kids and sleeping there since this all started on Sunday. Her dad looked real tired. She looked real tired and was fighting back tears. Broke my damn heart. I did my best to stay strong for her, because she is just amazing through all of this. How she holds it together for those kids. And says the perfect things to them, in a way that she isn't lying but she isn't giving false hope. Perfectly gentle for their little ears and minds.
I'm proud of my friend. I don't believe I could handle such a situation so gracefully. She's more than obviously broken to pieces, shattered, on the inside, but I applaud the strength she has in front of the children.
It's been killing me all week to have to be at the office. 45 minutes away. When my best friend is dying inside and could use her friend by her side. Just happy to be more available to her now.
