Tomorrow off. Having some bourbon to forget a spectacularly rotten day...

[Aristus]

I don't normally drink during the week, but I'm making an exception tonight.

Thank you for being you.

I love you all...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. We love you too. Why was today so spectacularly rotten?

[Aristus]

3. The maintenance man at my clinic died over the weekend.

Suspected COVID-19.

He was out all last week, but nobody told me he was even sick; I just thought he was taking some well-deserved time off. Such a sweet guy. He and I are both grandfathers, and we bonded over tales of our grandkids.

He's the first victim of the virus whom I knew personally...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. I'm so sorry!

[yardwork]

30. I'm so sorry.

[rurallib]

32. ouch! - understand totally

[PJMcK]

2. My wife had a shitty day, too

Brandy on the rocks following dinner.

[Aristus]

5. Sounds good.

I had always been told that brandy should be warmed. But I like it better room-temperature. I'll have to try it on the rocks...

I hope her tomorrow is better than today...

[PJMcK]

7. I hope tomorrow is better for all of us

Sleep well.

[LisaM]

19. Brandy and soda

It's really easy on the stomach.

[BComplex]

4. Chin up!

And bottoms up!
I hope it gets better and better as the week goes on.

[Aristus]

6. Thank you.

I can always rely on the Loungers for an encouraging word or two.

[elleng]

8. Sorry; be well.

[Aristus]

9. Thank you.

10. from my 💙 to your 💙 i send a

i feel i'm falling apart moreso lately and don't wanna..

[Aristus]

11. Seems like everything is falling apart.

I want to go to Red Robin and get a huge, greasy burger and all the fries I can eat. But I don't want it enough to commit acts of terror. Pity the gun-crazed fuckheads who are ruining it for everyone else...

[sprinkleeninow]

16. i feel imprisoned and it's not one of my own making this time

assumed what happened here last year was enuff grief for a lifetime, but nooo..

just getting physically frazzled from going around to stores, hit or miss shopping

however, as a second gen american, i'm spoilt

and now i know the feeling my parents experienced in the 30's

[cilla4progress]

13. Hugs, Aristus.

Sorry about your friend.

[Aristus]

14. Thank you.

I can't believe I'll never see him again.

My team is already working on a plan to do something for his family.

[onecaliberal]

15. Oh no... I'm so sorry.

[mr_lebowski]

17. That is a positively awful day my friend ...

Sorry for your loss.

Here ... this oughta put a smile on your face ... take ya back to the day ...

[TexasTowelie]

18. I'm limiting myself to one bottle of Purple Haze tonight.

I finally have all of the paperwork with indigent care approved and called today for an appointment with the physician. My appointment is at 8 a.m. so I'll be calling it early tonight. I have all of my prescriptions in a storage bag and ready to go.

It was a productive Monday for me getting small tasks completed ranging from airing up the bike tires, cashing in lottery tickets, loading money on a debit card, paying the cable bill which my brother forgot to do, and completing and faxing more paperwork. The only thing that I didn't accomplish was getting syringes for myself and my brother since they didn't have the brand and size that we each need at H.E.B. Hopefully, I'll get that taken care of tomorrow.

Enjoy the bourbon.

22. I hope this isn't an insensitive question, but

shouldn't you get tested since you were in the same space as your friend?

[Aristus]

27. I did. The whole team got tested.

It's my second time getting tested. I'll have the results in the next couple of days.

[diva77]
