Thank you all. I know he is at peace now and can rest after struggling with depression for SO many years. But he was genuinely such a great person and it is hard to accept that this is the way his story ends. He was only in his late 30s. His wife and 4 year old daughter have to figure out how to get through this. It almost feels centering to talk about it because he wasn't a part of my every day life and so many in my family are more affected in that regard. But family, man. Growing up being close with your cousins provides many great memories, thankfully. It's what we have to hold on to.

So on top of me constantly worrying because my parents like to go out all the time, my mom was walking the dog this afternoon and got pulled off of her feet and managed to break her humerus. She's checked into the hospital where she's likely going to have to get surgery and have a plate installed. This dog has now caused serious harm to both of my parents (my dad had the concussion last year when he knocked him off of his feet and down the stairs). He's had training but really sounds to me like he needs more and I think my brother and I are going to be strongly suggesting this to them.

milano I’m so sorry for your loss. I don’t think that sharing your pain here is like centering. I mean, if you were venting to his wife about it, that would be a big centering issue of course. But you are allowed to grieve a loss and this is a good place to talk out those feelings. Hugs.

I’m really thrilled to see all of you getting vaccinated and having governments that are rolling vaccines out at a reasonable rate.
But I’m really frustrated with how things are being handled here. Case numbers indicate that we’re heading for another lockdown and there are whispers that school boards are preparing to go virtual. Meanwhile, we’ve only just started vaccinating 70+ and plenty of healthcare workers (myself included) are still months away from being fully vaccinated.

And also, I’m super frustrated with my kids for being kids and having a hard time. B has had a hard time doing just about anything that involves leaving the house. He refused to go to his one day/ week forest school today and it’s only the second week. I missed a virtual appointment with a naturopath yesterday because we were out and both kids refused to get in their car seats. It ended with all of us crying in a random parking lot.

First grade teacher is out today, so there are prerecorded videos for about 18 minutes and I'm meant to fill the rest of the time with teaching/work. This is the second time this has happened because the school can't/won't get a substitute (even just a volunteer from the high school who could read a book or four!) for remote kids.
I mean, my point is that if there's no instruction provided, I vote let them just play and/or read.
EFFFFFF THIS.
10 more weeks. 10 more weeks.
