No surprise here,? I'm late to all of this.? I always check the Groups.io website for messages, so I can read a stream of conversation easily without craziness in my in box.
The down side is that if it's busy, I miss things, a ton of things.? I am now five online pages behind with our messages.? Things have been just distracting in my life right now and the Discord convos would be wonderful relieve what's going on in life.
It appears that a conversation is scheduled for the 20th?? If so,? is there a link for the set up.?
With RBG's death,? I didn't sleep at all last night.? I've been upset about it and what I don't need now is pandemic isolation.? Yes, I do meditate and that's how I finally got rest.
Meanwhile, I'm going to keep reading to catch up.? For those of you who have been blessed to have their fathers with them for so long, believe me, I keenly feel your sorrow and loss.? Dad died at 103 and my Doctor didn't want me to visit him b/c of risk factors I had.? That was hard to take.? It was almost a precursor to the current pandemic situation and it was very very hard for everyone.? I had hired a 24 hour nursing to be sure his needs were met with just a few people he'd recognize.? That worked and was worth the $$$ spent., and I did end up seeing him as things declined. Like the rest of you, Dad hated his hearing aids and refused to wear them. His sight and hearing were terrible.? I still cry over the fact that I couldn't see him until the very last b/c he was a wonderful father.? I try to tell myself that maybe I needed to see him to meet my own needs, but doubt whispers to me otherwise.? I'm sorry to sink into the maudlin so I'm stopping.?
Well, you can see why seeing all of you would be a real tonic.
