Even more breaking news from Tuscaloosa. LSU practice was stopped yesterday after a white powdery substance was found on the field. Investigators were called and found that the substance was the goal line. Practice was allowed to resume after it was determined that LSU would not come in contact with the substance during the game.

G'mornin', y'all... had to come in to work today because I blew off Thursday. At least they are still letting me make up my hours. :)
I just couldn't cope the other night. Things just kinda crept up on me and kicked me right in the feels. Not sure where it all came from, but I was sitting around the house and just got floored by thoughts and memories. Then, of course, I decided that I needed a drink to kinda chill and mellow a bit... apparently Scotch isn't the drink that does that for me. And most of a bottle of Glenlivet certainly isn't the answer... I'm starting to come back around to my normal feeling self, but still not quite back there yet. Hopefully I'll be able to go see Paige tomorrow. Haven't seen her in close to two weeks and I think that the solitude has gotten to me. Maybe I need to find some other people to hang out with so that can try to not get so deep into my own head. I absolutely hate this feeling... I'm a freakin' Aquarius, I'm not built to handle emotions!
Aww, Kaezz! Prayers going up!

{{{{{{ huge hugs }}}}} Those emotions will hit you at the most inconvenient times. Or so it seems. You've pushed so much down while giving your all to your love. They are now coming out. Let them. Ride the wave and give yourself the ok to cry. It is a release and is good for you.

It will get better, there is no timetable for grief.

Thank you, Robin, and truly I'm tryin', Hun... just really don't know how to do that. Even before all of the stuff with Tricia, I've always had a hard time with emotional stuff. I only have like two or three that I can show. Anger, Love, and Happy. Anger won out more often than not, but I've managed to get a handle on that one. Sad and Pain are just not something that I know how to express really. I'm trying... I really am.

You've been on my mind a lot the last few days... now I know why. Thoughts, and prayers for you Brother. {{{Man Hugs}}}

Thank you, Brother... I'm trying to cope and deal with it all, just having a bit of a struggle.

Aww, Kaezz! Prayers going up!

Good morning, Love. There is no right way to grieve (and I believe you've discovered that Glenlivet is a "wrong" way.... ;) ) Reach out - we're here for ya. I'm only 9 digits away..... You may need to ride a roller coaster for a bit - you've been so focused on others that you haven't focused on yourself.

Love you....

I'll have one slightly darker batch from each of this week's beans.

Anyone know if kaz or krusty like a darker bean?

For any of the newer regular irregulars: I enjoy home roasting, typically 10 9oz mason jars of beans a week, send out a few sets to people. If anyone wants to try some, let me know. Its a PIF thing, fun [emoji5] I typically roast high flavor beans (they're exotics, from smaller farms), chocolate and fruit notes, fairly light roasts. I send them out as whole beans or whatever grind a person wants.

Could have sworn that I'd answered this earlier. Yes, Brother... I do indeed love darker roasts! :D

Nope, Glenlivet is not the best way... Blanton's was a little better though. ;) Damn, and I thought Woodford Reserve was good.... Honestly, the Glenlivet wasn't bad, I just drank way too much of it at one sitting. Very little walking involved afterwards... This roller coaster sucks though. But, you're right. I definitely need to get focus back on myself and finding what makes me smile. There's gotta be some more joy out there somewhere.

Love you too, Sister.

Breaking news out of Tuscaloosa. For the Alabama - L.S.U. game today, Alabama coach Nick Saban is only dressing 30 players............Saban says that the rest of the players have finally learned to dress themselves!!!!
ahhhhhhh so that's what he's good at. He sure stunk at being an NFL head coach when he coached my Dolphins. Of course, they stink no matter who's coachin them. :( Too much don't give a schitt-itis on that team. Not to mention that when we do get good talent.......they trade em away to other teams who them use them to come back and kick our butts.

Unfortunately it's all got to come out and be dealt with hun. You know it's not gonna be easy or quick. And it can't be done by trying to find things to make you happy for a bit and pretending the feelings aren't there. Nothing wrong at all with finding things that make you happy, but it won't last til these feelings are processed and dealt with. Even though you did grieve a lot before, there is a finality to this. My mother was rarely in my life, and when she was, she mostly ended up doing me harm. Most of my life I grieved the loss of a mother, so when she died, there was not a lot more to grieve. But then, we weren't close. But I did find that there was the finality to grieve. After she died, I realized that although I knew better, while she was alive there had been some tiny bit of hope way deep down that maybe someday, somehow I'd find out that she cared. Her death extinguished that bit of hope that I hadn't even known was there. With you it's much different because you loved Tricia so much. So even though you grieved before, unfortunately there is still more to go and it usually comes out in stages over a fairly long period of time. Moving on is good, but moving on too quickly usually isn't a good thing. I hope it doesn't seem like I'm trying to lecture, cuz that is surely not my intent. Just trying to help. I do wish you'd call one of us instead next time you feel like reaching for a bottle. You know I'm available anytime day or night, and I'm sure others are as well. :wub:

I'm actually doing quite well. Chemo is working slowly but surely. :D

Numbers are improving so that is a blessing. CT or PET scan after Thanksgiving will tell us more. I have an appointment with a doctor in one of the top 10 cancer centers in the country (rated #7 on the list) so I am getting a second opinion on what comes next. That appointment is on the 21st in Philadelphia.

I am still positive that I will beat this. There is no other option ;)

Like my oncologist said, I look fantastic and anybody that I happen to tell I have cancer, cannot believe it. I don't feel like I have it. She said that I am LIVING with cancer... I said I AM LIVING. Period. Cancer is just something that is dying inside me. Each time I get treatment it is killing even more of it.

I am doing Great!

Got my Pulse bf in today - I like [emoji5]

A soft 510 refill bottle is a must-have. IMO, but I already had that covered (the yftk silicone works well, and for a buck more the Therion squonk refill has an insulator on the 510).

The firing button throw is stiffer than the predator mech (I love that fire button), but still quite decent. Coming with an 18650 adapter is a nice touch, though the extra oomph of the 20700 is well worth getting some.

Me being an Aquarius too I get it. All your friends here hit the nail on the head. These feelings creep up on us when we least expect them. It's ok. Ride the wave. It wil get better but they will still hit you from time to time.

A few days ago we were in a store. I heard one of my son's favorite songs over the store loudspeaker…heard it many times before…this time I disolved into tears. Life sucks sometimes.

(((BIG HUGS)))
